I actually traveled for hours in game after reload so it wasn't immediate. If it matters, I had travel mode activated (yellow Icon not grey) and also the enable TCx on message box messages activated (yellow icon not grey) and TC1 on any message box message not activated (grey icon not yellow). I have not made any changes to cfg or the TWoS options file viewer so everything is default.

I have a question concerning morale decay. So far I have spent 3pts on the Bosun skill but it still shows as 50/100. Is it working and the UI just isnt registering it or am I wasting points here?

May just be a glitch. Maybe the DD was too close when the save was made. Have you tried going to an earlier save? I know it's a PITA but may save you the headache, then you can just retrace your course.

I got sunk and then just reloaded the save and now I am way past that time. When it happened, I traveled a good 100km from my save point so I am pretty sure the DD wasn't already in range at time of my reload. I knew a DD was out there patrolling because I would hear him on hydrophones but I was relying on my watch crew to tell me if we could see him visually. Not sure what happened, I have many hours in the game (over 100 with TWoS mod alone) and its the only time i can recall something like this. Not a big deal tbh.

edit- Just got done hunting a "coastal boat" which I didn't fire on and stayed hidden once i realized what it was I was hunting. The hydrophone operator never once picked it up even I though it crossed my bow at less then 1km, not sure why but its a coastal boat and idc as long as they register the real fish im seeking. Anyways, I waited for it to get some distance and as i surfaced "ship sighted bearing 110". I couldn't even see but the top of the mast with binoculars but a destroyer at less then 1km eluding my bridge crew! LMAO, **** happens right? The best thing to do is laugh. That said, I have sighted other escorts since this happened at proper distances in good weather so im really not too concerned.

This must be glitch, that destroyer would have opened fire way before getting so close with those conditions.
Also keep in mind that if you are close to land or a ship, 64x tc is the fastest you can accelerate the game.
So if your a bit form land and are locked to 64X tc, something is close. Unless you enjoy 64 and never go faster. :o
Never trust your watch crew 100%, they miss alot.

Going high TC in a patrol area where you know there are escorts will do that. Never go over 32. When I have a ship spotted I never go over 8.

Hi. I am familiar with game, just made campain progress from coastal waters to happy times. I did everything like in tutorial, using silentotto cheat. But i have problems with capitain medals and crew points i have earned so far, they are not transfered to happy times campain, it is just like on begining, they are at 0. I copy/paste these values from career tracker to my new career tracker, but there is no diferent(for medals and crew points) What to do? Sorry for my english...

Use KSD. With it you will have historic and accurate awards. The awards in SH5 don't work well.

Brings me to think about my autoscripts (where I fixed glitches 2016 but forgot upload ) goes to Max 32. Feel free to suggest anything regarding tc at my modthread before I upload newest (wich hold the course).

Fitzcarraldo with all due respect, what is KSD? Can you point me to description please?

If you installed TWoS 2.2.9, you should have an icon KSD in your desktop. Set it to offline and start the game from it.

If you used SH3 Commander, this is a simplified version of it. Very simplified.

In SH5 don't forget to save your logbook with a name and ever you save a game, go to main menu and exit. Never exit to Windows!

The game should ask you if you want to save the logbook, click yes and all is saved also for KSD. KSD puts awards in your uniform "as real as gets". And you have a logbook in text format for edition.

Good hunt!

OK i tried KSD. But there is no my ships tonnage so far. It is 0. Is that means that i will historicaly receive awards and new subs, no matter how much tonnage i sunk? And what about crew points, they are at 0 too. Does my crew need points to perform better on this KDS too, or is no matter at all?

You need to start a new campaign....

… and return to bunker/end patrol so KSD can read your score.

....Yes....

Thank you guys, i hope i can finish the game to the very end...because i always coming back to start from begining over and over again, as new patches and updates are released.

My messages bar (bottom-right window of the main HUD) keeps disappearing completely. It usually happens when i leave the main map. I have to bring up the escape menu and then hit esc again to go back to the game for it to show up.

That window is activated on and off with the L key. Are you hitting that key or did you key another function with L?

How to treat neutral ships? I mean, it is year 1940, can i sink american ship, although they are not in the war yet? I know that, for example Ireland is neutral all the time during war, but how about these countrys that will go into the war by specific date? I play latest TOWS...

You can always sink neutrals, but your score will be down and BDU not happy.
You have to wait for end of 41 for Americans (after Pearl Harbor)
Checking countries colors on nav map tell you actually wich one is still neutral or not :salute:
