La Vache and Aktungbby:
I accept your corrections. Clearly some unterseeboots were operating off the African coast.
My statements were off base and incorrect. But...
I still cannot understand why the sub command would divert critical, and limited number, of subs to this far southern arena when the coastal waters of the UK were so critical to control and that the necessary-to-exist materiel which was needed, had to end in UK ports. Anything coming from elsewhere still had to, must, clear the UK coast and end-up in its limited number of destination harbors for unloading. A balance, perhaps, between the hazard of UK aircraft up north and its density of shipping, and the safety of the south and fewer ships.
We know from Churchill's books that the situation was increasingly dire for the UK.
Obviously, I was not asked for my opinion by Doenitz!

<shrug> I too stand by my comment. Including in '41. As to Churchill, taking most anything he said about the Battle of the Atlantic as being accurate is rolling the dice. He had a flair for being melodramatic. I'd suggest Blair's books on the subject for a much more objective view, especially concerning the myth of the u-boat's effectiveness. In short, at no time did they come even close to shutting down the North Atlantic and any boats sent south wouldn't have changed that.

As to why some u-boats were sent south, a large part of that was because the hunting was easier, more successful and less dangerous than in the North Atlantic. A lot of Allied traffic went to west African ports and around the cape of south Africa to supply forces in both North Africa and the Far East. The Mediterranean was rightly considered too dangerous for this traffic.
At times too Doenitz was *told* where u-boats would be sent, regardless of other plans he wanted to do with them. This was especially true regarding the Mediterranean.

Pancoast:
I would not pretend to debate your accuracy, but I do think that the material I have read about N. Atlantic tonnage sunk in these earlier years (by both German and British historians) does indeed support Churchill's concerns in his many books and comments on the subject.
But all that is irrelevant.
U-subs did go south.
Some southern station orders from UBoat command would be valid.
Accepted.
But, I'll still hunt effectively in the northern waters. Since Doenitz can't touch me. And I can save fuel for long hunting periods and still get back to Lorient with more than just fumes left in the tank.
With respect,

Default Installation of LSH3-2022

All:
I have become tired of having no attack scope (see my earlier comments) and decided to download a fresh version of LSH3-2022 to see if the new download would take care of the problem. But...

The putative English version of the download directions are in German (as, of course, are the German directions.) That is not useful.

But also when I do download the Full.exe code into the C: Download folder. And then drag/drop it into a new E:"LSH3-2022 New" folder to extract, it does what it has done before: it wants to extract via 7-zip with a password. There is no password for 7-zip on my computer. (I have complained about this before.)

I was severely taken to task by one of your major...whatever...for not following directions. A message in all Capital letters, BTW

Well, I have followed the directions, translated into English. And I get the same problem. 7-Zip wants a password to extract.

Wilhelmshaven...we have a problem. A persistent problem, to say nothing of why suddenly the arrow keys do not move the attack scope from R to L, although it raises and lowers with the up/down arrow. (I use the O scope for everything...do I have a choice? No.)

I've worked with LSH3 since it emerged. But I have to say things are falling apart, guys.

According to the installation manual you have to start the LSH3-2022-INSTALLATION.EXE, not the "full.exe"
Also the LSH3-2022-FULL.EXE is not meant to be extractet via 7zip/winrar etc.

Madden:
I appreciate your reply, but...
1. the torpedo itself is not an active link to anything...it is merely an icon.
2. When I do click on a hot download link I get, in the Cownload folder:
"Unconfirmed 4000570.download"
3. If I drag this to a clean LSH3 folder on my E: drive and select it to open it there...
3. I get: 7z LSH3-2022-Full.exe
7z LSH3-2022-Multiinstaller.exe
PDf
PDF

There is no "LSH3-2022-Installation.exe" and what files are there for extraction and/or installation are fixed as 7z files. And you tell me that trying to open LSH3-2022-full.exe is not the correct one. OK, but then...?

At no time have I elected, or selected, or desired, or tried to open anything with 7z - the files as they are downloaded and opened are 7z fixed and there is no escape.

I have complained about this before and have been chastised for "trying to open these files in 7zip". That has never been my goal. But, tell me, how do I open files that LSH3 itself downloads as 7z files, especially when they are "password" locked?

I believe that FUBAR (or someone) had a link that did work and did not download a file to me that was 7z. But I no longer have his link.

Sorry for the tone, but my frustration is at a high level.

Very uninformative screenshots. It seems to me that you want the LSH3 2015 interface

@layelan762 seems you have the OLC GUI activated. Just deactivate it via JSGME!

Default Any additional mods for LSH3?

Hi,


I was wondering if there were any additional mods for LSH3? I've tried the Oneaxel mod but couldn't get it to go. That mod has quite a few mods in it. I was wondering if some of those mods can be ported over to the LSH3 mod and used and / or any mods out there like uboat skins, music, etc... that can be added to the mod.


I'm an old sailor coming up from Davy Jone's locker. I wanted to give SH3 another go. I do have my old dvd from 2005 and the keyboard layout for the game.


I'm ready to say 'Torpedo los!'

Default Telegraph issue in LSH3

Hi,


I'm doing the navigation training and during the exercise it ask to dive at periscope depth and go "ahead flank". When I press the '5' key to go 'ahead flank', the telegraph goes to 'ahead slow'. The command on the screen does state 'ahead flank'. It does appear that I'm going 'ahead slow'. I'm not able to complete the mission.



Any advise?


Figured it out. Before starting the game up I needed to unselect the 'malfunctions' option....doh!

Welcome to the "old sailor club"
Getting mods to work in LSH3 is kind of a "hit and miss" proposition. Some work great. Some don't. Gotta just install them via JSGME and give them a try.

Hi, does the mod support an unusual screen res 1680x1050? I'm using a very old monitor.

Default "Special Mission" message

On a routine patrol out of WH I got a "Return to base immediately. You have been chosen for a Special Mission" ...or some such. OK, returned. Nothing. Just the usual assignment to a new quadrant.
Is something mission in the programming code?
