Pretty Much Given Up On The Schnorkel in XXI

Schnee · 01-12-19, 12:44 AM

....in mid/later '44. Seems like planes are hovering over the sub waiting for it to come to Schnorkel depth and toast you. Maybe that changes when the upgrade to the Schnorkel detecting radar signals comes out.

But for now I'm surfacing to recharge and find the latest radar detector still gives me enough time to crash dive to safety as long as you stay focused.

I know the planes basically won the Battle of the Atlantic past mid 43 but am really finding their abilities and capabilities pretty bogus and overwrought.

What mod(s) you using? Whenever I've played SHIII, I usually "die" by 1943, and usually at the hands of a plane or two (or more), but I do give the DDs a good work-out too... That's in Stock & GWX. I haven't made it that far in LSH or WAC yet...

Complete stock -- no mods attached to my version.

See if THEBERBSTER doesn't reply, or send him a PM and ask him about LSH. I'm not sure how the airplane traffic in it compares to Stock. I've kind of gotten used to the idea of airplanes at any time from any directions over the years of playing the Silent Hunter series, and it just wouldn't seem right to me to not be interrupted by them every hour or sooner. I have come up too soon more than once, and had to dive right back down, when the planes turned and came back after me. The big thing is seeing them soon enough, and crash diving. Just be careful of what you're crashing into... don't wanna bottom-out at speed... I do know that no later than 1943, you can't hardly wiggle without an airplane seeing you in a lot of places... and not just one or two either... kind of like bees.

I have and am waiting a reply.

He'll get back with you. THEBERBSTER is the best for help in all of the Silent Hunter games, but especially SH3 and SH5. He'll be with you as soon as he can.
