This is a "light gameplay" with TWoS. Stormy´s DBSM (only Basemod and Fix, both complete), seems work fine, no problems in the problematic Med Campaign (Battle of the Med), with 58 savegames and reloads.

The DBSM mod remaps the key commands but all works. F7 is Battle Stations and F8 is Rig for Silent Running. I have a tendency to use the buttons command of the UI, so not many keys pressed.

I use SH3 UI style, not tested the list with the others styles.

I have a problem with the weather reports. They tell me ever the same, except in rare cases. I save a game with 15 m wind, and reload with 5 m wind and the report continues to tell 15 m wind. Same with cloud reports. This problem is present with the basic TWoS list, without my additional mods. With my list, the problem persists.

Many thanks for the new update and all the support, Vecko, and best regards. (BTW, I changed to patch 12 and reloaded my old savegames of the Med campaign and worked, no need to restart the campaign).

Hi,

I'm new to sub gaming (always been a huge fan of sub movies and history) and I recently picked up SH5. I was advised to install TWOS before even firing it up, and I did just that. I elected not to install Real Navigation as I have no idea how to do it. I'm finding the game very intimidating and overwhelming. I've gone through a lot of in game tutorial texts but I still feel lost.

Is there is "how to" youtube series to help me get up and running? The only thing I can really compare it to Kerbal Space Program and youtube was instrumental for me to learn and enjoy the game.

I started watching Norsecast playthrough, but he doesnt seem to explain the HOW behind a lot of what he does.

Thanks!

Welcome Ijustwanttoplay!

Is there any particular part of the game that's causing you confusion? Navigating? Plotting intercepts? Actually conducting an attack?

TheNorseCast's play through is pretty great and he tries to put enough detail into why and how he's doing things.

For my part here's a video of how to intercept a hydrophone contact step by step. It's using an earlier version of the UI from TWOS, but most things should work the same.

Thanks kylania!

Currently its everything. The UI, navigating, the officers functions, TDC, trigonometry... lol. I think I just need to dedicate a lot of time to it and try to go slowly...

Welcome and good luck :salute:

Keep watching TWOS tutorial videos at YT, check posts of THEBERBSTER :yeah:

Is Breaking The Fortress mission do able since the coastal fortifications have been added?
Peter

Welcome aboard!
 

Sure, why not...

Hi Vecko
I just wondered if anyone had tried BTF since the coastal fortifications had been put in.
I am looking at the West entrance with the island in the middle as a possible entry point.
My logic tells me it might less well defended than the entrance on the Eastern side.
The channel between the island is probably around 1000 metres wide.
At night with searchlights blazing going to periscope depth may not be an option as I expect it will be very shallow in places.

Quick question not seen answer to on the FAQ, tips page for TWOS.

Is there a tonnage requirement (even though there is no tonnage bar)? I understand the mini campaigns are date enabled or disabled, but will the amount of tonnage i sink in for instance British eastern Coast mini campaign have any effect on upcoming campaigns being accessible?

And if there are hidden tonnage requirements are they listed somewhere?

I already missed the breaking the Fortress mini objective as was too busy on British eastern coast missions. It´s now November 15th, back at base, having sunk approx 45k tons on Eastern coast missions, but seeing that it will take another 20 days to get back to sea, I guess that I cannot do another BEC mission as it finnishes in 14 days. So I guess I need to pick mission on Northern patrol mini campaign as that seems all that will be available by the time i get to sea again.

No...You may only have to pay attention to "How to pass from one campaign to the next one" tip and you're good to go...Also, your tonnage is quite decent.
