Question....
Is there a list or file in game where I can see the specific dates when certain neutrals become hostile ?

I assume if you’re using the lighted ship mod then the date that neutrals become hostile the ships are no longer lit ......

But if you’re not using this mod how can you tell when neutral nations become hostile?

Here you go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alli...tering_the_war

Note that American ships will be hostile to you before they officially join WWII, as part of the neutrality patrol.

One more question...

Is there a way to get TC1 on each contact report of the capt log?
Because they are not showing up in the regular message box...where i get TC1!

Those contact message are quite important when patrolling in the middle of nowhere, to eventually calculate an interception path.
And i often miss them at their time start

Thanks for any tip

For anyone who wants to play with a focus on historical accuracy, I've put a guide together: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=238857

Of course, if you want to play with less of a focus on historical accuracy and more on just having fun, no worries - everyone should be able to play the way they want

That option is enabled by default...


You can further increase your range filter...

That’s exactly what i did. I have the box checked, and i have increased the range to 1000...
My last contact messages in capt log, the first one i missed it because no TC1, and the second one i got TC1 and it was even repeated in message box!
So it seems still not very effective.

But that would be very nice to get all our contacts repeated in message box
I don’t know why some are not, and very few are...

I'm not quite sure why would you need to be noted about convoy which is 1000+ km away from your position?

If you really want to be noted about all the traffic in the world then increase range filter to some some crazy value like 10000km, but I don't see any point of it...

[Lanzfeld]

I think his point is.....

It doesn’t work.

I tested as well. I doesn’t work.

Oh well.

You are confusing me guys, what doesn't work? Range filters for contact reports? We are talking about TWoS only here, right?

[Fifi]

Vecko, i don’t want all the world traffic

Of course 1000km is a bit to far for any interception.
The purpose was for testing if i could get some contacts that give me TC1.
The range contact is working good!

Since the start of test, on 3 contacts reported in capt log, 2 dropped TC1 and 1 not...
The 2 that gave TC1 were repeated in message box, and i love it.

I don’t think it’s broken, just not 100% effective

[Lanzfeld]

Yes sorry for the confusion.
It seems that the range on contact reports doesn’t always work for me.
I will get a report inside the range and NOT go to 1x.

TWOS only.


And for what it’s worth I’m not a big fan of the new torpedo heating mechanic. This should be done automatically.

I don't see how is that possible...That one contact from Cpt log which wasn't repeated in the message box has to be outside of currently set range filter. I never had any kind of different behavior or problems with it. This applies of course only if you haven't messed up something with user options settings ect...

Are you talking about "ghost" contacts which could sometimes appear in your navigation map as marks but not in your Captains log?

And for what it’s worth I’m not a big fan of the new torpedo heating mechanic. This should be done automatically.

They are already preheated in some way. According to some sources, a "cold" TII electric torpedo would have range sometimes less than 2km. In game you'll have 4...Preheated would have around 5...
