Actually the radar seems to turn off fine after you turn off the constant sweep. Or just turning off the sweep seems to have the same effect, even.

Yep, I hope I'm not going blind...I don't see any way to adjust the fish either; in addition, the attack map doesn't seem to have a key anymore (i.e. can't find it). It's talked about in the revamped help pages, but it is no longer listed among the stations with a key.


I see those gauges just fine both speed and depth on the attack map

thanks that seemed to do the trick but this might be a dumb quesiton wont the enemy see your radar signature if it is always on?

I don't see any way to get to the attack map anymore (and therefore the fish guages); it's not listed in the key commands. Perhaps it's just the IXD2.

No shortcut key that i know of but if you are in your periscope view there are 10 square buttons at the bottom, button 7 is the attack map view, in there are the speed and depth settings.Hope it helps.

Other than the lack of german voices, these audio files stand out as "odd," as they're all spoken in english

-Relieve the watch
-Secure from battlestations
-Passing thermal layer (never even have heard of U-boats having such a device)

I really like the addon especially since I don't like the "normal" pacific theatre represented in SH4. However I've noticed a few bugs:

- Light flaks on IX completely useless due to false / bad positioned crosshairs, i.d. the guns shoot at the middle of the screen, but the crosshairs are not centered. This also means that the AI never hits with these guns. 37mm flaks work alright, 20mm quad seems broken aswell.

- Opening torpedotubes only works for a single tube, i.d. if you are preparing a fan shot you cannot open all the required tubes.

- Some specials seem broken, e.g. Torpedo-Specialist (or Expert) is supposed to give you a small boost to the torp speed in general, yet that boost is way too high or gets applied in a wrong way (time to target for a 2 mile distance run under 10 seconds...).

- Flak stations and deck gun stations can be manned even in storms (quite handy :) ).

- 20mm flaks in general have very low ammunition (~200).

- Typ XVIII sub seems rather weak due to low speed and insufficient fuel reserves - while the walther device enables superfast submerged speed it only has very limited fuel. Surface speed and normal submerged speed are lower compared to the IX which is horrible since you have to travel so long distances.

There are a couple of other minor ones aswell, but the above are the most annoying for me.

The hydrophone detects ships from a long distance while the boat is surfaced.

Try if you can go into the conning-tower.
In SH3, you can go there and manually flip the open-tube switches, of the tubes you want to open.

Not sure if it's a bug, but I found no way to get a weather-report, in an umoddified 1.5-game...in an American career.

New American mission; saved whilst setting options, crew, guns & sensors; and then again in port. Sailed out of Pearl, saved, exit to Windows to perform RL (real life) chores.

Relaunched, reloaded, and ... :down: ... "Passing Thermal Layer" every few seconds.

Hmmm I can't get the Hydrophone to show up even with realistic sensors checked,anyone else?


******EDIT************Thanks LukeFF,The free camera mod for ROW was the problem.

Nope. Mods installed?

The XVIII was projected to have only a 3000-nautical mile endurance on diesels, and that's what the game models it as. Can always be tweaked with S3D if you want to make it like a Type XXI.
