The crew still need direction and while are independant work better with coordination. They will scan for ships, repair, load tubes etc. But ultimately as captain it's your job to order it.

Crew morale is also modelled which effects performance, if things get really hairy better hope they are loyalAnother feature is your reknown. You gather it as you do successful mission and it can be spent on upgrades for your ship. The upgrades are historical specific so you can't get 44 sonorphones in 41 for example. At first i thought mmmm it's potentially a little gamey but then it thought well the best crew always wanted the best captain, boat etcetera and it's certainly not unrealisitic that people get better with experienceSome crappy GeForce fx 5200 screenshots:Edit btw patch 1.1 releasedMake sure you download the right one as DVDemea for me and not the US ones.The Changes:################################################################################SILENT HUNTER III v1.1################################################################################Warnings1. Users having Windows 2000 operating system must have Media Player 9 or higher installed to be able to watch the tutorial moviesChanges and Additions1. Career menus were changed.

Aug 19, 2012  A working Silent Hunter 3 Torpedo Bombers finally for SH3! It´s not perfect but it works very well!

'Continue Career' button was removed.2. The 'German Cross in Gold' will now be visible on crew.3. Workaround for NVidia bug mentioned in the Readme (now it will be possible to switch on /off the particle systems using 'Ctrl+P')4. The career 'Save& Exit' was modified: now it will be possible to save the game and 'Exit to Menu' without adding unnecessary saved games.5. The possibility to return to base from any situation while in a career patrol was changed.

1. When you torpedo guy will finally get better at his job and start getting it right. If you can't wait for that, look for the SH3 editor, and edit the torpedo dat file by set the dive angle to 3. Then your chance to hit all the time or most is greater, or go check subsim fourms for a mod fix for that.
2. Since I've only done about 9 patrols I use the auto targeting. So far all this consists of is hitting the LOCK button on the target, then firing my torpedoes. This was fine for a while but now, after putting so many fish into C2's and other ships and having them cruise on as if nothing happened, I need to aim for the specific areas.

The sub will be able to return to base only if is undetected and at surface.Changes and Fixes1. The graphic artifacts that appeared on crew were removed2. The crew that remains on watch while underwater was fixed3.

The multiplayer disconnection problems were fixed4. Anti sub net in-game model was repaired5. The ordnance units are now loaded in editor with the 'savable' flag on6. Several non-existent patrol destinations have been fixed.7. Submarine's rudder disappears when destroyedMultiplayer Issues1. If you have activated your Personal Firewall (which is coming with SP2 on Windows XP) or other firewall software, you might encounter connection problems when starting in multiplayer mode for the first time.

Your firewall software might block the game when connecting to other game servers or might block other players to connect to the server you’ve just created.Therefore when running the game in multiplayer mode for the first time, be sure you allow the game to use the connection it needs by unblocking it from the firewall settings. Pay attention that in case your game is running in full screen, you will not be able to see the dialog box which the “Personal Firewall” is popping up right after entering in multiplayer sessions list, so you need to use the Alt+Tab keys to switch to this dialog box.2. During multiplayer, even if the Silent Hunter III version 1.0 is compatible with the Silent Hunter III version 1.1, we highly recommend to play the game with the same server version. I just noticed that Silent Hunter 3 is somehow available for online purchase and download. However, I cannot find any place to actually buy the thing.

All links lead to the UbiSoft retail box order pages. The just released patch comes in two versions, one for retail box, the other for download. If I could download the game, I wouldn't have to wait for weeks for my mail order to arrive, particularly since it is out of stock already. Has anybody been able to find the download link?Edit: Found a link. Appears to be North America only, and more expensive than my retail box order anyway. Torp attack - CURSE YOU REALISTIC DUD TORPS!!!Ahha Foolish enemy ship in sight - launch Torpedo from tube 1Looks like we get paid this month boys, should be easyBoom!! Ah not enough, but i set your boxes on fire fools!!

Launch on 2!Torp 2 - yes a guaranteed hit, can't possibly fail!BLATT! Hey Bill did you fart? (Argghh dud)A bit of Aft Torp action - from the bridge!! (surface wake just behind u-boat) yes my gloating watchmen obesrve Captaincy at it's finest!!Yes!

Going to hit! - fear my facist torp calculations!!NOOOOoooooooooo dud, probably shouldn't of been so close to that ship and no deck gun! Unload the external torpedos.

I shall need a few healthy men to swim over and deliver that torpedo onto target and detonation.With enemy boxes aflame, the brave, yet incompetent crew, of U-41 slink away over the mighty AtlanticPostscript:The good crew of U-41 were summarily court-martialed and sent to the Russian Front as punishment for their inept non-sinking of an unguarded, and hapless merchant vessel.

Well I completed all the tutorial missions last night and here are my impressions:- Creates an excellent atmosphere except for the US East Coast accents that the crew have. Hopefully a sound mod will come up that does the voices in German.

There is a mod to play old WW2 tunes on the gramaphone already.- Graphics as far as the sea, relfections and so forth are concerned - spectacular. The sinking ships also look great. Even at 1024x768 fixed resolution it looks great- Sound. Other than the amercian accent the sounds are sensational. Especially the destroyers charging over your head.- AI.

Seems reasonalby competent other than shooting at each other! 500 internal server error php file. I had my scope up and one corvette took some potshots at me - missed and hit the destroyer who then got stuck into the corvette and sank it.- Combat. Currently got the AI running the torpedo desk so its point and shoot at the moment.

Deck gun and AAA is fairly easy to use although I'm not sure how to work out range to target other than by firing a few ranging shots.Moving onto the missions next. Click to expand.Not a bug, reality.Early war torpedos were frankly shithouse. At angles greater than 90 degrees they often failed to detonate becuase the whiskers of the torp failed to trigger it. Not to mention, the standard, poorly manufactured item in there. Get on a good angle so that when the torp hits its at an angle enough to trigger its detonation.

Torps actually take a while to reload as well, even on automatic. Get yourself in a position to kill, rather than take the first 'good' shot the comes along. The good thing is once you get the hang of torping one in a convoy you'll find you can actually snap shot it off the rest and slink away as convoys travel at the same speed.

Top game, I can't stop playing it. The dynamic career mode is a long awaited return, (ala AOTD). The water graphics are brilliant, the AI is almost 100% spot on. The way ASW aircraft keep you under and try and bring up ASW surface forces is just nasty.A must get if your even remotely into sub sims, I can easily say this is the best sub sim i have ever played. A nice touch is the ability to add your own MP3's to the gramophone, for some long haul boppin on the high seas.Someone said above that they wished the crew spoke german, they do. Just change it from english(seppo english) to german.

Still on my 1st career, have yet to die(touch wood), it's now 1944 and I have a type VIIC bristling with 37mm AA guns, that i have upgraded too using my earned renown points. Problem is getting the chance to use them, always considered a storm if the wind is above 5 metres per second!!, thats gotta be a patch fix for sure.

The AA guns are on the same level as the conning tower or slightly lower.Highly impressed with this game, other than A few bugs, which i'm sure will be sorted in time, i'd give it a 9.2/10 very good game. GRAB IT!!Anyone else notice the abilty to change basic stuff in the.CFG files.

Like crash depth, speed of boat how soon crew get tired, or renown points for the ships you sink. I even added heaps more pome ships to the Australian side and just renamed then HMAS XXXXX etc.It's good to see them add Australian stuff to this game. It's a little known fact that 1 U-Boat did infact go round the coast of OZ, and even landed a few crew in SA for fresh water. The crew man left a small plaque so he had proof for after the war.I write this on my leave after patrol #12, it's getting harder and harder out there.

The bay of Biscay is a bitch now to get across, and the escorts and hunter killer groups are much more adapt at making life harsh. It's Nov 1944 and I am just starting to have doubts on final victory for the reich, but i don't tell anyoneAuslanderKapitanleutnantU-272.
