Submarines - WT Discussion

Well, in SH3 and Uboat I make combined use of the hydrophone and the periscope to calculate a solution in the TDC, so kinda I guess.

(I admit, I’m shit at it, so I just let the game do it for me most of the time)

I really want Japanese, French, and British subs

That’s a long dev server. They gonna drop the update around GTA 6 release. Not the greatest timing.

Hydrophone would be to detect ships far away and then to vector on to that bring to see if the ship is valuable target and you would use Periscope for closer targets.

Well ok hydrophone can tell you where the ship is related to you and you can estimate its speed by how noisy the propellers are. You can get rough picture if its going away or closing on you. But if you want to hit the ship with torpedo you need to look at it…

Yeah same defo Japanese subs for me …

I mean it could be extended as well but yeah I am hoping we don’t have to wait long for news about subs.

Since they seem relatively complete, it might be possible to place them in a custom hangar or mission.

What I don’t like is that I can’t launch my torpedoes manually—for instance, if I’m waiting for an enemy ship to turn but can’t maneuver my own ship to aim its bow at the right moment

at least from what I can gather with my very basic English

Their is two torp modes where you can use as shown on the stream were it will go at the target based on the sound its making but can’t aim for weak spots etc then their is manual mode were you can just aim for certain spots like boiler-room.

You can change the launch mode with “R” as in my screen capture.

How and where?!

It’s for launching torps underwater without periscope. You can still calculate bearing with periscope as in battle of atlantiic and it’s actually easier and faster.

Some little trick with custom mission. I have wrote how to edit it in some of my post.
