Icon8 IT WANT'S A MOD!
Hiya Shipmates! This "Locking" system on SH5 really needs sorting out! Surprised that no one has tackled it already! IT JUST DOES NOT WORK!

Through the periscope you lock on to a ship and it keeps on moving! In SH4 it stays where it is so that it is easier to get at!

Can't anyone sort this please as it spoils the gameplay!

Ahoy VDR! I have been playing your excellent "Wolves of Steel" mate. Just one gripe! The circular grid overlay ought to be removable ..less obtrusive. I could hardly see the position of my sub and had eventually to abandon the game mate!

I know why you placed the grid and it is a fine idea .. but to be able to choose to have it or not ..OR for it to be more faint would be nice.

My curiosity is pegged. What is this "circular grid" you speak of and how is it so bad you had to quit?

The title just made me laugh but during WW2 did the subs even have a locking button?

Ahoy thar shipmate! I use the word "grid" for the want of a better word mate! I am referring to the circular markings which tell one the distances that one needs to know when firing torpedoes .. I assume. Can't be missed, right on top of the map mate!

That's what I means matey! Can't do the shot as I have uninstalled. The mod is really great skipper, but having to keep peering between them bearing marks to find mi sub really got to me after a bit.

I still don't understand what your "problem" actually was but somehow I have a strong feeling that not everything was installed in your game/mod as it should...
"Circular grids" which make your sub "hard to find"? That definitely sounds like something which should not be there, regardless of mods used or stock game...

Cheers!

Make sure to grab latest update when you do and you probably won't have "circular grid" issues anymore...
