Hi. Can somebody tell me how to use FAT torpedo with search ladder pattern? I mean, how to set up my torpedo, before fires on upcoming convoy? Thanks

Thank you T.

One more question. How destroyer can detect me when i am submerged with all engines stop? Well, I took best position in front of convoy, submerged and ordered -batlle stations
-silent run
-all stop(engines stop),
I lowered periscope down too, and wait for first destroyer to pass above near me. when he came close, they raise alarm!

I mean, how they can discover me, after all these measures i have taken. Is that historically acurrate-that DD could detect submarine when submerged, with all engines stop, when pass above her?

One possibility is they got ASDIC contact on you. Did you hear the pinging sound as they rose alarm?

Yes there was 2-3 pings, just when they detected me

When setting up the straight run for FAT topedoes, are these numbers in meters? (i.e. When i set up on 125, how much meters are that?)

That should be 12,5km
I believe the scale to be in m x 100

Yes, it seems logically, as torpedo range is 12,5 km

Yes mess up installation I'm sorry but need uninstall, delete SH5 folder in C/document and reinstall

@Bojanpopvich...

Also, while you were quiet and just sitting there, a couple of things could have given you away...

1) you can’t be quiet while at battle stations. There are 2 battle stations. One through the XO when being depth charged, and the other through the watch officer for attack. Either way they make noises while in battle stations.

2) they could have spotted your periscope long before you put it down.

Click on my signature below and check out my video on periscope discipline. You will be surprised how easy you can give yourself away if you are not careful!

Are you sure? It says wolves of steel in the upper left. Are you sure yours doesn’t say open horizons anywhere?

You mentioned "loading screen" in your post IIRC?

Thanks heavens, you are back:Kaleun_Applaud:
As usual, I'm finding answers on my own, but this time I'm about to be desperate. How did you manage to turn off the gunfire tracking line and SLOW THE DECK GUN platform rotation? It's becoming a true nightmare, I can't figure out how this is being coded.

I guess I’m in the screen where you select a save the game. It says open horizons there. I’m just wondering if I am where I’m supposed to be. I’m sorry I’m really confused here. Are you trying to help?

Ohhhhhh now I understand what screen you were talking about,I had misunderstood before.
If in upper left TWoS all is good.
"Open horizons" on the top in main menu is normal, your installation is correct....forgive me again for my misunderstand
