It might be morale or skill related. I NEVER had problems with it before 1.2 when I had a patch that disabled all those abilities. Now, with a new career and morale skills my crew are a bunch of pansies too busy playing with their coconuts and grass skirts to tell me when we spot a ship.Originally posted by MIKEricher2010:
WHY WON,T THE DECK WATCH CREW SITE ENEMY SHIPS LIKE THEY DO IN SH3 AT ANY SPEED ?? NO WAY AM I PLAYING GAME AT 16 - 32 SPEED --
FYI.
I have sent a compiled report of the issues and bugs that people are still experiencing in the game.
I can't give you a firm idea of when or how this information will be used, but rest assured they have been passed on.
E.G. I have no details of the timescale to the next patch - so please do not get upset about the lack of info over the next few days.
I would like to thank everyone for taking the time and effort to post here, as I am sure Lisa would.
Thanks once again.
THANKS - MR_SHADE -- NOW THAT I THINK IF IT I MAY NOT HAVE HAD THAT SITEING PROB BEFORE 1.2 PATCH EITHER. THIS IS GOING TO BE AHELL OF A GAME IN 6 MONTHS. AFTER I BOUGHT SH2 I WAS REALLY ****ED AT IT, CALLED SOME ONE AT UBI AND RANTED AND RAVED ON PHONE {POOR GUY} LOL -- ANY WAY AFTER ACPL WEEKS AND AFTER DEST COMMAND CAME OUT I LOVED IT. PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF IT, AND DEST. COMMAND. JUST HANG IN THERE AND I,M SURE SOME ONE WILL GET IT RIGHT AND THE $50 -- PHEZZZZ WHATS $50
For anyone interestet please look at this tread over at subsim.....besides the OT stuf its a decent idea....
Combined effort
Yes I concurr, and add that both F5 & F6 do work and mans, and unmans the guns, but also commands sufacing the boat and the chief calls it out too when using these keys.Originally posted by darrenecm:

It looks like this recent patch changed my keyboard commands. Pressing F5 now surfaces
the boat! Pressing F1 still shows old commands...
So apprently the R and these two F keys are tied in some way. Although the R(surface the boat) key works as intended and doesn't do anything with the guns.
Ok on to other things im seeing.
The shadows inside the sub look to be a lower resoloution now and grainy.
Also shadows still show though the tower's skin from looking at from outside as if it were plastic or fiberglass.
Now this next thing may or may not have been part of the fixes, but any map plotting done by the player except for the sub's course is not saved when saving game. Sunk ship icons are also not saved. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Woudln't the verbal feedback of "Surface the boat" be an appropriate response if you are indeed ordering crew members to man the gun AND you are submerged?
Or is this "Surface the boat" verbal report happening even though you ARE surfaced? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes this "Surface the boat" is being triggered by both F5 & F6 while on the surface. However it doesn't do this if manning them by dialog command with the WO. Only by F5 & F6.
I wouldn't think of ordering the gun manned while submerged, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did so if so ordered given how screwed up things are.
ok a couple of other things to report. in an earlier post i said my depth under keel command wasn't functioning, it appears the problem is with a another bug where the crew stop speaking occasionaly, and as the depth dosen't read in the message log either it is impossible to get a reading. Also F5 and F6 (although they command to surface the boat) seem to work its just if the weather changes bad with the crew on the guns, you can't unman them hence my initial confusion. Burst pipes don't repair either so after being attacked you have to have them hissing away for the rest of the patrol, even after repairing all systems.
