I bought SH5 yesterday and installed "Wolves of Steel" today; it improves the game tremendously. Thank you!
Just some questions concerning the difficulty level: How can I turn on the torpedo solution (the lead numbers 1,2,3), contacts and my own position on the map?
I tried different difficulty settings in historic missions, but nothing changed. I saw corresponding options in the map menu (the buttom on the bottom right of the map) but nothing changed.
Torpedo loading times are much longer, but that's more realistic, I suppose.
Thank you.

Best,
Brett

ps:
When turning off WoS via mod manager, why do most of my torps just run in circles?

Welcome on board, Brett

You have 2 options.
You can learn how to navigate (it's very easy if you start script for periodical position map fix in top right menu - those 2 gear circles second from bottom of the menu, then real navigation, position on patrol, then one of the options based at your current in-game time.

Navigator will
Then take care about your position at map.
Please be advised, this position fix are not perfect, they includes small mistake, that's ok, until you'll be very near of land, you don't need to have perfect position in map.

All the targeting against ships needs just perfect relative positioning against them, not absolute against land.
This is very realistic and i believe it was not implemented In any other simulator.

Your second option is to disable real navigation part of twos in jsgme (that application where you activated mods in)

Default [REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

Machine stop is too quick for me, best would be between 5-10s.

Spoilers.....up to April 1940



Currently doing the NW approaches mission in the CW campaign. I receive a Coded message saying to RTB to rearm then proceed to Norway at best speed. Can I just refit and proceed there without actually going through the whole process of ending a patrol and choosing the next mission in the CW campaign?

Seems to me that my "days in bunker" will make me miss the actual mission if I end a patrol. I guess what I'm saying is if I don't "choose" the mission as it populates on the map.....can I still get credit for it if I actually go there and do stuff?

Like right now in early march of 1940 there are two missions populated...can I technically do both the Northwestern approaches and South Western approaches at the same time?

Yes you have to.
If you dock, your task will be gone.
Get out to Norway now!

Thank you for your reply.
I practised realistic navigation and targeting now, and I managed to score a few hits.
But there is no way to turn the realistic option off at all (even with unrealistic settings in-game and realistic navigation disabled in mod manager I have to calculate more things manually)? It may be a heretical question to you, but I'd prefer it this way to start my career.

Best,
Brett

I can't download the 2.0 version from mediafire, is anyone hosting a torrent of it, or are there any alternative mirrors?

Hi Brett, if you managed few hits you are about to be very good Kaleun, in reality, most captains had very bad efficiency of few percents of hits..

Unfortunately i dont know what you should do to bring back old waypoints to the game.
It should be somewhere here

Thanks, I'll try.
Just reinstalled the vanilla game, trying to get rid of the circling torpedoes.

Best,
Brett

Hi BS
Waypoints will only be seen when real navigation is disabled.
Nav and TAI header tabs in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) if installed, have waypoint settings that can be set permanently either enabled or disabled.
On your boat you have Nav and TAI Map buttons which you can use to override the permanent settings in the OFEV just for the gaming period you are in.
The OFEV settings are mirrored in both the Nav and TAI map buttons on your boat so is easy to see how the OFEV is set up.

Thanks, I'll into those.
Circling torpedos are fine in the vanilla game now; I sunk the Warspite this evening I suppose they may return with mods, so thank you very much for the fix.

Best,
Brett

Just an idea...
There is a great mod for SH3 that doesn't allow player to go on flank speed for a very long time otherwise it can damage diesel engine. I think it's highly unrealistic that you can go on flank speed for 24h. It would be great if something like that can be implemented in TWOS.

Agree, this would be another piece of awesomeness here.
I never use flank speed until i am in real danger
