Silent Hunter 3

[[GSV]Trig]

That's on the patrols where you start in a port, Trig is reffering to the Academy missions, where you start in open water

Yup, I'll RTFM when I'm on the bog later....

Click on your Chief Engineer - far left character and click on propulsion, the second picture is the command to rig for silent running (reduced speed, no flushing of toilets, use of anything mechanical or noisy) Bear in mind you can't reload torpedos whilst running silent.

Or just press Z.

There's a handy little keyboard layout with the manual, has all the keys you need!

Yup keyboard layout very handy. Also on silent runing you cant repair/run pumps so if you got flooding take silent runnig off.

Yeah I just forget and leave it on sometimes, 2 hours later I'm wondering why they haven't reloaded the damn torps yet...

Had a play with this last night and it aint bad. Took a while to work out what does what but I've got the hang of it now.

Can't say I'm that impressed with the graphics , at 1024x768 it looks damn silly on my 20in monitor why can't they make it work with different resolutions

[McMav]

Just played single mission Bismark

took out a Nelson class battleship then a King George V class with 4 torps
36k Tonnes betwen them
the bismark took out the destroyers. so while I reloaded I followed the bismark and defected to the allies and sank her. 42k Tonnes. That was some size of ship as it was more than the 2 british ships together

[YorkieBen]

are you sure the two British battleships werent 36K each? (as that iswhat they weighed?)

I too agree with that. Anyone know of a way to change the res?

Sounds like fun, haven't yet dared to try a single mission yet! There's still a LOT to learn!

Yup when I exited it gave me the history

2 ships 36k total
and 1 friendly got 42k

They are good I did scarpa flow and got 6 sorted destroyers and the 1 battleship

[YorkieBen]

Last night I was in the North Atlantic in my patrol area and detected some ships in the middle of the night, turned out to be a 13 ship convey with 2 armed trawlers and one destoyer. Ive taken out one armed trawler and am closing in on the destroyer. Gonna have fun tonight wandering around with the deck gun
