You''ll find "stabilized view" options in gameplay settings...You can try it out if you like.

Hi everyone,

First post here and first time playing SH5.
Amazing simulation thanks to this mega mod. I am playing on real time without TC so still very early on the campaign.

Enjoying every minute of it!

Is it working as intended that all 11 Destroyers that were guarding the Convoy decided that i am the greatest Danger to the British Empire and thus have been bombarding me with DC's for the past 5 Hours? i remember back in Sh3 with GWX installed that out of 10-12 Destroyers at most 4-5 would hunt me down.

They are enough agressive...

Five hours of depthcharging is normal in TWoS.

Good luck!

You have misread my Post, i dont mind the 5hrs or more part of being DC'd,
what i do mind is 11 Destroyers (the ENTIRE convoy Defense) just Yoloing after a single Uboot, when in WW2 did all Destroyers tasked to defend a Convoy jump ship to go after a uboat? this makes no sense and is seriously annoying. theres no way to reliably escape the ASDIC and Hydrophones of all 11 Destroyers and show a narrow angle towards them for less ASDIC signature.

Because it I wrote they are enough agressive.

Hi KSCyrus. It's pretty much the same in TWoS as well. What was the composition of the convoy? Are you sure you didn't encounter specialized hunter killer group? Location? Year?

Tip how to shake them: Stay undetected for some time, make them think that you aren't really there anymore...

It was just a standard Merchant Convoy and not a Taskforce, with exactly 11 Destroyers Escorting about 40-50 Merchant ships Southwest of Dakar November 1941. If i had encountered a dedicated Hunter killer Taskforce with the sole purpose of hunting Subs then i wouldnt complain, but the fact is that all 11 Destroyers were like "Yeah, lets just stop escorting these merchants and leave them to their fate" something that the Admiralty in WW2 would have never done for a single Sub

Edit: Also i tried staying undetected even going as far as stoping the engines altogether but that doesnt help when they 11 destroyers Keep pinging you ;(

Hi, i'm kind of new to this, there's probably an easy answer. I'm playing my first campaign and I've finished the Sept1-4 mission and docked in Kiel . I want to take the Scapa Flow mission but it's not available. When I actually launch on the mission to the eastern coastal zone, it shows the Scapa Flow mission on the map now because time has passed, but if I dock immediately to take it, I'm well past the window of opportunity.

How do I make this work? Do I need to go back to a save during the prior Poland mission and wait for a certain date before docking? So that the time frames match up?

I've heard I could use the KSD Commander to change the days in port but that app seems to do nothing for me, it won't save the changes I make to days in port and the app doesn't launch the game when I click [Start the Game]. Besides even if I could change the days in port manually, I still don't know what the actual window is to take the Scapa Flow mission.

Thanks in advance for the help. I'm really kind of new to this so it's probably something really obvious and easy. I hope.

It doesn´t matter though that you did not request the mission to break the fortress. You can sail there and do it anyway as long as the mission is active.

reedca82 · 04-03-20, 09:46 PM

So I took a depth charge, managed to use speed to maintain depth until all zones were at 0% flooding and under control. My boat still sinks in this situation and the damage screen is clearly inaccurate as each zone shows 0% flooding. It's a little annoying as there are 5 destroyers circling overhead and I cant maintain depth without flank speed. I have a savegame on hand of the situation.
