Hello again fellow cap'ns.
I have a couple of problems that i could not solve by myself and my forum searches failed to return a proper solution for me. I would be very grateful if you could help me Problem 1: Ship recognition manual (the book, SOAN) fails to filter by number of stacks (or chimneys . When you try to filter by it, it shows no ships at all. Please see screenshot 1 below Problem 2: RAOBF scale error. I think this has been mentioned earlier but i was not able to find a solution. In the tutorial RAOBF practice i measure the optical height and the optical length of the ship and find some discrepancies. These differences causes errors in measurements. For example measuring the optical height as 12 in my case instead of 10.6 (which was the value suggested in tutorial) returns a lower range. Please see screenshots 2 and 3 below |

I don't know what tutorial says but angular height of that ship is ~12 deg which means that ships distance is about 1000m , everything OK there. Maybe tutorial scripts are optimized for different mission with different ship?

Or start external cargo test mission, sink a few ships with torpedoes (don't use deck gun) , surface the boat and sail for some time around lifeboats... Try this few times and report findings...

Yes, unfortunately... The crew is on shore leave probably and there is only one cook on board who only knows how to use search light...He doesn't even know how to use radio, poor guy...

Nope, It's common for most anchored destroyers but not for battleships... It's some kind of AI/game limitation/bug...That's why I abandoned harbor raids long time ago, including Scapa Flow mission...

G'day All,...can anyone tell me if neutral ships ever run at night with lights? So far I have never seen any ships, neutral or otherwise running with lights at night except for searchlights after being attacked.

Hi KS
I believe I remember seeing a large hospital ship (troop transport type with a big cross on the side ) in South Western Approaches with lights but it is not a Neutral. Peter

Hi Peter.....I've never managed to spot one running with lights yet. Sometimes you have to give up a good firing position to get a positive ID of the flag.
Recently I took a 7 klm+ manual shot in bad weather with 2 torpedoes at a Destroyer without any real expectations of success. I was pretty chuffed with myself when both torps hit the target smack on with spectacular explosions and fire .....only to find out later that it was a friendly Type34!!!!! Now I make every effort to be sure that it's the bad guys I'm actually sinking.... |

Has anyone been reassigned another grid to patrol after completing the required time within the allowed radius of the assigned grid?
I was doing the Eastern British Coastal Waters mission and completed the required time then stuck around some more waiting. I then did the Scapa Flow mission before the end date expired and then returned to the assigned grid once again.(AN7953 near London from memory). After weeks on station with more than the required 70k tons sunk, and without getting anywhere near the red EBCW line on the map, I gave up and returned to Wilhelmshaven with the Captains Log unchanged and mission incomplete. I then had to edit the campaign files to be able to get the next patrol. Regards..... |

Regarding optional patrol grid missions I've noticed that they can't be completed if I save and reload the game AFTER I enter patrol zone area (in the Atlantic is 200km radius zone for 72 hours ). If I spend 72 hours in the zone without save /reload then mission will be accomplished and I'll be reassigned to another patrol area , maximum is three times...
And for your second problem , could you upload for me your last game save folder from Documents/SH5/data/cfg/ SaveGames?
