Radar detector needed.????

von hally · 01-15-08, 03:36 PM

lo guys

im still pretty early in my carrer in gwx 2.0 but remember late in my career in gwx 1.3... installing the radar warning reciever on my boat...the question is....is it sometimes more of a nuicance than its worth... as i found my time compression nocked down constantly with it... even if the enemy ship had no way of detecting me.
i know its primarily for aircraft but it was frustrating at times.....maybe diving at visual contact with aircraft and "right full rudder" would be preferrable to the constant cut to 1x compression i get.
is it worth getting...am i missing the benefits... or being too arcadey (i hope not)
just thought id get fellow Kaleuns opinions on the suject

Sometimes I -really- wish there was a way to turn off situation-dependent time compression while in-game.

i know mate....i dont want to be too picky with sh3...we cant get everything we want...i know its not possible...its just infuriating when trying to sail to wherever...and detecting warships at many kilometers away..out of visual range and time comression drops constantly!!!
just watch though....i bet some kaleun comes on and says " Hally...just ********** turn the thing off" or something simple like that...im always the last to know s*** like this HA!!!!!:rotfl:

I assume you know that with SH3CMDR you can set the time compressions to whatever you want. Be advised, though, that at least from '43 on your first clue of a contact will be that your boat is sunk.

yea i did know that mate!!!
prob is with the detector ive set enemy contact to 1x whitch suits me every other time in game ...just not with radar..as enemy is usually well out of visuall range

thanx bro

What do you mean? Like ordering your radio-man, to go take a nap?

Radar warning should not be bought or turned on if you have it.

you guys take the radar warning for granted.... id love to have that damn thing on my boat... its only 41 and i hate that i only have a hydrophone to find my targets or the rareity of my radioman picking up an intercept of a status report...

hell if i had that radar warning, nothing would be safe from my boat.

dont take equipment for granted... itll save yers and yer crew's life mate!
