The stock recognition manual is indeed terrible. I´d rather endure a wait than to play without the SOAN.

tbh i never used SOAN and recognition manual... in WWII they didn't had time to use any recognition books or something like that ... also u need only the target speed, course and AOB for 100% hit chance here i mean with Real Navigation and manual targeting...

but each player has his opinion and play stile... i don't force somebody to play as i play the game

Vecko: Have you reached the maximum for stability in the roster of TWoS. Is it possible to add more ships?

I know how to add ships to SH5, but never I tried it with TWoS.

Many thanks and regards.

Of course they did... when enough time, often before diving on surface approach, and mainly to try to avoid terrible mistakes (friendly ships)
Quite often, merchants were not raising any flags!

If a ship/unit is imported properly and TESTED adequately, then there is no limit...

About Lemps attack on the Athenia:

Quote:
By this point the boat’s silhouette was clearly visible. Lemp went below to
identify his vessel, referencing it to his copy of Lloyd’s Register, which was carried by every
captain.
Only then did he discover that he had made a terrible error. His target was not an
auxiliary cruiser at all, but rather the passenger liner Athenia, on route to Canada with 1,103 men
women and children, including 311 Americans.
If Lemp had bothered to check his recognition manual before he fired two torpedoes at the target, many lives could have been spared.

U-boats always tried to identify their target, if the visibility conditions allowed it. This was also important to get the targets draught since the U-boat crews had very clear instructions on how to set their torpedo depth. (for example target draught +2m early in the war)

I mean: the black screen because a large roster. You add more and more ships and that black screen could finish in a CTD...

Many thanks!

This is Lloyd's Register - it's not a recognition manual we have in SH5.

Lemp referenced the register when Athenia was sinking and sending out a disteress call, that's when he realized (I'd guess after checking for the ship's name) that vessel he sank was passenger liner and not an auxiliary cruiser.

Environment? Rendering distance you mean? If Yes then it's 40 km by default but it can be increased even more trough the Generic Patcher ...
