I already SAID I am running Patch FOUR. This is in and active and I have the crew space bug.
Pic 1 Note Patch 3 is on the inactive list, as no mention was made of requiring it along side patch 4. I assumed this meant patch 4 was only required. Pic 2 Please note watch 3 in the command compartment are missing a crew space. This boat was a new career started with patch 4 specifically. Secondly, regarding the duds; I had a stationary target at a bearing of zero, which was exactly side on to me ( 90 degrees port AOB I believe its called) EVERY SINGLE torpedo was a dud bar one. The only one that was not was the first fish out of tube one. Every torpedo after that was dud. I even reloaded the fish from the outside supplies and all of these were also duds. This was with G7a fish. I am not trying to be an ass here but please read what I said. |

The boat in the picture I provided was a brand new boat I started specifically to highlight the error with the patch. It is not a saved game it is a brand new career started in '39 with the default IX boat, on patch 4 today to take the picture. As you can see patch 4 is active in the mods lists, as is the base install of monsun. I should not be getting this problem, as you so stated it was corrected. However I am getting it, that is why I reported it.
As per your picture, that is almost identical to how I was firing. However I was closer (900y) and did not fire a salvo, I fired manually in singles to get a salvo effect. I prefer to do it this way as I can target each fish individually myself. The peculiarities I described could be atributed to a failure with patch 4 and/or other mods working after activation with JSGME. I am going to re-install the game from scratch (again) and re-install all mods, as it may be simply that patch 4 and other mods are not active on my system for some reason. Will report back later. |

I would "strongly" recommend that you go the to your "My Documents" and remove the SH4 directory to insure you have a "clean install" before you start your new install |

Ok righty all seems good now. Did a full re-install, including as you suggested removing the SH4 My documents folder. I dont have the crew space bug, and the recognition manual does not CTD the game so the patch must be working now. I think you might have been on the money with the my documents folder, as the game seems to be a bit more "perky" now. Time compression works up to 7k now before slowdown where previously it was 4k limit.
There are a couple of small things though that dont seem to be quiet correct. The open hatches do not have any functionality for me. I am not able to enter the listening room or captains cabin. No matter where I click on the hatch nothing happens. And secondly, possibly related, the default camera position in the IX boat with 2nd flottila in '39 is a few feet off. Its "stuck" on the ladder for the conning tower, meaning the camera clips through the ladder rungs. Of course these are not major, I can play without them. But I thought I would mention it now I have the patch working corrrectly. Everything else seems spot on, and I am thoroughly enjoying the Atlantic theatre of operations. |

Hello me again. Got some gameplay questions about the Atlantic theatre.
Can I get offered a new commision to a new boat in Monsun? (eg IX>IXb>IXc) If so at what point can I get a new boat? Do I need X amount of renown & tonnage? Does Monsun allow for boat upgrades (radar/sonar etc)? If so when do they become available? How accurate are the support docs to in-game convoy routes, for instance if I patrol along a noted route on the doc will it be in the game? Im just a bit curious as I've been plugging away now at the Allies for a while and theres not much in the way of advancement at the moment. I cant get any more crew, as it keeps showing me dupes of sailors I have, and I dont want to bug out my crew. I am the top ace, and I have 12k renown but nothing to spend it on. Please let me know thank you. Last edited by Lexandro; 10-12-08 at 02:41 PM. |

If you started in 39 it will take a while to get upgrades as the time goes in game.

Oh and about those new commisions, I just cant seem to get one at all. I feel like ive been passed over for one or something. Ive done 9 patrols, its late '41, Ive got 400k tonnage, Im a Korvetcaptain in rank, got 7 Knights Cross , 2 Iron Cross and on my last patrol I took out HMS warspite (Yay!) and got 90k tonnage in total. And still nothing. Am I doing something wrong or what? I checked and I could start a career in late 41 and get a IXb or IXc boat but im not getting offered anything at all in my current career? Sorry to be a pain. Last edited by Lexandro; 10-12-08 at 10:43 PM. |

cool cool cool ,
except I don't like the type VII camo paintjobs a minor thing and perhaps it's just me, but I cant find a basic standard gray-ish (maybe slightly weathered/rusty) paintjob for the U-boot. Is there such a thing at all? and if so, where? thanks
