Have you done this

Doolar · 03-03-09, 06:13 PM

There I was just motoring along the English east coast just south Aberdeen, lookn for a freighter or 2. It was about 1:30 am or so, I was on the surface at 32xTC. That as the fastest I'll go with TC. Well anyway, I'd been playn about 2hours or so, when I decided to do a Hydrophone check. So I hit " D " to dive forgetting about the 32xTC, and just like that it was over. Man the ocean floor comes at you fast. I think that beats me running into the wall in Wilhelmshaven a minute into my first ever patrol, you know watchen the band !

Yes, I was amid a convoy attack. I was being depth charged and was attempting to zig zag at about 150 meterswhen I hit the TC to speed up a lag in the action when I forgot I gave the order to dive a little deeper, next thing you know I was dead.

Been there done that. Do you want a Death Card for your folly????

Hi all.
You could attach the "D" key to the normal TC as well as the "dive" command.

Doolar · 03-03-09, 10:14 PM

OK BadWolf , I'm interested , not sure how to do that , Thanx

mookiemookie · 03-03-09, 10:41 PM

I always use "P" to go to periscope depth instead of "D" for dive.

Hi Doolar Semler,
You can do it with setkeys.
Point setkeys to data/Cfg/Commands_en
Select "Time compr normal"
On the <empty> slot select "Edit Current Key Map"
Select "D" key
save

or

open data/Cfg/Commands_en

[Cmd6]
Name=Time_compr_normal
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"
Key1=0x44,,"D" <---- Add this line

In either case you may have to Increase to this in Commands_en in yellow (Thanks to irish1958 for finding that one)

[Commands]
CommandsNb=600
MaxKeyCommandsNb=350; Keys number shoud be smaller than this value (in order to accelerate the loading)

Now if you hit the dive key "D" accidently in high TC, you will be drop to normal TC and dive.

Hope this is helps.

Yep, that or set a depth on the dial.

Funniest thing is to forget that you have a slight flooding in the bow section,
dive for a hydrophone check and the next thing you know is seeing your uboot tickling the sea floor in 150m depth with 70o angle.

Sailor Steve · 03-05-09, 04:29 PM

I've never done that.

Done plenty of other stupid things though.

Oneshot/Onekill · 03-05-09, 05:26 PM

I've never done any TC when i'm involved in an offensive, or defensive action!

Dont' forget, when your off the east coast of England there are an enormus amount of mines!
