Just switched to GWX...

ralphnader23 · 06-18-10, 11:47 PM

I've got two questions.

1. Just started a campaign in 1940. First trip out, already sank a tanker and a large cargo. Now I'm hanging out SW of England and I've run across 4 Irish ships. Can I shoot at them or are they neutral?

2. There are sooooo many more ships in GWX. Are there any shortcuts that you can use for flipping through the ESB identification book?

Welcome aboard, Ralphnader.

Good advice above. Plus, don´t forget to peek at the GWX manual.

Eire remain neutral throughout the war and as HW3 has alreasdy stated, the pulldown flag recognition chart is your best means of a quick reference guide.

Welcome aboard

No, think of all that Guinness in crates floating around in the water for you to pick up.

If you are going to manually id your target by comparing it to the id manual, then no-you have to page thru it.

If you have your weapons officer id it for you, click on the identified target's name on the notepad and it will bring up the appropriate page of the id manual and you can read the info on the ship.

Hope that answered your question.

Welcome aboard!

on a related note, is the a PDF of the notepad that can be printed?
would be nice to be able to sort it all out between ship type and countries, because it gets kind of silly to flip through 20 dds to get to the bbs :P

Hi,

these two links might help avoiding the in-game recog. manual:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1201

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1611

You just look for the ship in the pdf manual and then choose the correct mast height in the in-game manual.

Cheers, LGN1

Can somebody mod the wooden lifeboat mod to become crates of Guinness?

They ship it in tankers so no crates floating for you!
