Can't get through deck gun tutorial

Paulverisor64 · 05-22-08, 09:30 PM

I'm new to Silent Hunter III and I've run into a bit of a problem.

I've been able to take out 2 of the 5 ships, but invariably I've run into the problem where my U-boat won't start up again.

I'll have my next waypoint plotted, I'll give the command to move at a specified speed, and nothing happens.

I'm wondering what is leaving me dead in the water?

Make sure your crew in diesel or electric room arent tired or does have enough men. If they are then you need to switch and allow them to rest or put more men in it! Type F7 and you will be able to do it.
Good luck Kaluen!
Between its not my job but, welcome in this forum

Welcome aboard Paulverisor64

As stated, ensure the green bar above the compartment is at least 2/3 full.

Put an Officer, and at least one PO there and fill up the rest with ratings.

Thanks for the welcome!

I will try what you suggest this evening. I suspected the crew might have been undermanned, but I wasn't sure how to check.

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the best forum ever.

In a mission it becomes a lot easier to hit ships with the
DG then in the tutorial.

Good hunting.
