Yes Steve I know you were joking. I was joking
Playing in RT would be really cool if you could dedicate your whole life to running SH3 nonstop, 24/7. Of course, this is impossible, and so we settle for TC.
Upon doing research though, I actually did find out that BdU really wasn't all that hot on radio chatter. They would tell the boats things they NEEDED to know and only that. The allies were excellent at deciphering messages, and after the enigma code was broken, the Germans practiced even better radio discipline.
Well Steve-o, I found that WB's mission orders does the trick. I included some screenshots I took just now in mission. My first kill with my new mod soup? A whale factory ship for 12,000GRT no big deal
If you notice, the ship that passed just after I hit the whale factory ship was a neutral American cargo.
I gotta say I've been liking the fixed wire formula. As long as you're 90 to the enemies track, approx. 90AOB, stationary, and with gyro set to 000, all you really need is to enter the speed and fire away. That whale ship was hit twice with two hastily-readied torps. I had originally been tracking the American one, but somehow I missed the British ship lurking alongside. It was kind of a hurried shot, but that's what fixed wire was intended for. When you need a solution fast, it's the only way. I won't attack convoys any other way. Just let them sail right into the eels.
Here's that formula again ((Ship length in meters) * 1.94)/(time in seconds). Don't ask me how, but it's accurate on getting speed as long as you're close to 90AOB. Error increases as AOB approaches 0 or 180 however. Both torps set to fast, impact pistol, 4m depth.
Here's my "Mod Soup" That I've spent all day fine-tuning.
