Thanks!

Nope, there doesn't appear to be much in-boat interactions other than station transitions (like the hydrophone station or observation scope) or doors/people. No clicking on switches on the attack scope to open doors before launch or anything like that.

Oh well. I will have to content myself with going to my bunk and then clicking on the button.

Yeah, that's a little OCD, but the biggest thrill for me is that feeling of "almost" being there and I like to preserve that fragile illusion.

If you hit F1 I believe the log is there,, the "m" key if I remember correctly. Sorry I forgot i wasn't running stock

The book icon loreed is referring to is TheDarkWraith's editable Captain's Journal. The icon for it is there, but it's not active quite yet.

Is there a way to Mod interactive (clickable) things inside the boat???

e.g. captains log, switches and gramerphone etc.

I'm hoping there is. There's some switches in the control room that light up and you can click on them, but they don't do anything. So I'm hoping that indicates the ability to make an item in the sub interactive, but not sure how to go about that.

Can i install mods in mid patrol in SH5 or is it better to wait to get back to port?

Best if you're in port, but if you're impatient like me, go a head and try it while on patrol.

Just not things like a new damage system if you'd saved while damaging something for example.

Im stuck........heeeeeelp meeeee.....lol.....

levonian · 06-27-10, 09:41 AM

I requested the mission from the commander for to sink 50000 tons in Brtisht costs.. First of all the game gave me a patrol point.. I sunk one mercant in that area.. Then I received a radio massage to return back to the base or go on patroling...

I patrolled and sunk maybe 100000 tons of mercants.. The mission doesnt finish.. he bar under the mission never becomes full.. Actually nothing happened to the bar..

In my Second attempt I returned base after sinking a mercant.. I talked with the commander and requested the same mission.. I sm sgsin turned to a new patrol point.. I sunk again more than 50000 tons of mercants... again Nothing happened..

How the mission will finish?

I am stuck.. I am sinking the ships in the correct areas...

What could be the problem..?? PLS Help...

in the blockade of germany, do the AMc spawn IN or AROUND lock ewe. and is there a dd patrolling it or an AMC?

loreed · 06-30-10, 07:56 PM

4 destroyers patrol the entrance to Loc Ewe. That is where the AMC spawn, I have gotten most of my AMC's west and southwest of the Faeroes.

ok but i sank the destroyers, however ran out of torpedoes and was wondering do they spawn INSIDE the harbor or OUTSIDE the harbor. and can you kill them in the harbor if theyre docked and still have it count?

loreed · 06-30-10, 09:36 PM

I sank a two in the harbor and they did not count for me. Unfortunately, I have never been in or near the harbor when an AMC spawned or returned.

CaptainMattJ. · 06-30-10, 11:34 PM

actually i sank 1 in harbor and it counted too!
