I am still trying that mission. I had managed to place some rockets on that island but got no victory message and was obliterared and sunk shortly after that. I have tried all I could figure out. I can handle the enemy surface units but the Stukas end up sinking my boats. lol Has anybody managed to complet that one?

To do so, it is simple create an MP session but with you as only player. Make it a team vs IA. You can select wich boats your team would have and wich type of boat the enemy would have. The only think to take into account is that while in MP, your AI gunners do not fire so you have to manually man your guns. Of course this converts your mighty Dog boat into a single gun boat but still dangerous. I tested all boats of the game using this method.

What we do need is a "weapons hold"/"weapons free" more clear feature IMHO.

As far as I know, yes. You can add a TCP/IP server using the favorites feature. And on the MP options you seem able to play MP cooperative vs the IA.

To have the F ships/options displayed you have to press TAB first, then select the ones you need. As far as I know this works in 3D first person view. Have not tried them in map or tactical modes.

Yeah I also enjoying the game. Despite it really didn't meet my expectations on the beguining I am starting to enjoy it quite a bit the more I am progressing into the Campaing. However the game needs to be modded and a mision editor is a must, but I am confident we will end up having those in due time

What the boat have is a smoke generator. When you press T what you do is activate the smoke generator and during the time it is activated, it is producing smoke. There is not a "smoke bomb" on this game

Try launching the game on Direct X 9c. When you launch the game you have initially a pop up window where to select this.

Well 20 to 30 are not bad. Higher would be better but with those frames you should not have mouse lag issues. Try turning off vsync. Many mouse troubles are usually related to Vsync. Another solution is to force your video card to "render" no more than 3 frames ahead. Ahh by the way sometimes it is useful to make sure you have the latest software/driver for your specific mouse. let me know if this helps with your trouble.

I guess you mean on multiplayer. correct me if I am wrong, I still have not completed the full allied Campaing. As far as I have seen in MP you have to manually control each gun. Own gunners do not fire. Only AI gunners do.

Hmm maybe I should lower my difficulty level to Normal instead Hard. By the way do you play the German or the Allied side?

Well I finally managed to pass all Wesserung missions and now I am on the next Chapter on the Channel. For passing those missions, basically you have to play from the map and give commands to all ships. Those of you familiar with Destroyer Command would have no trouble passing the missions. Get your squadrons organized in proper formations and wipe out the enemy. Said this, I have to add this is completely absurd for a PT game/sim. I bought this game to command a single boat and do PT boat missions and now I have to move to the map board to command cruissers destroyers and multiple of MTB. Not really what I had in mind when I was waiting for this title. Also the action is a bit absurd, basically all the matches are huge formations of destroyers and cruissers steaming dangerously close and head on with the enemy formations. Ther is no much space for tactics or anaything else, simply fire and move. The game has been developed with nice features like signal flares, search lights and other stuff you cannot use on this type of engagements. All this would be fixed when we have a usable mission editor to create realistic scenarios to use the boats the way they are supposed to be used. On the meantime, remember, play from the map and make sure you give commands to all ships involved, think of them as "brainless" so be their "Commodore" :cool: Ahh and do not forget to use smoke. The enemy cannot see through it and it is absolutely essential to win some engagements.

FRAPS is a program to record videos ingame or to know your FPS (frames per second) You can get it here FRAPS DOWNLOAD PAGE or do a search on google and find thousands of FRAPS versions. Also another program called PLAYCLAW does the same. SHIV goes for Silent Hunter IV, a submarine simulator

Do you have FRAPS or a similar program to check what are your in game FPS? If you have high FPS then you should look in another area. If I do not recall wrong we had a similar trouble with SHIV when it was initially released, some trouble with the mouse lag. I suggest you also take a look into subsim.com SHIV forums for a similar trouble, just in case

The A. Unless you have a server on your LAN or you have typed into favorites the IP of an active PT-Boats server or you will not see any server at all. The so called Search engine only looks for server in your LAN or in the IP you have added on favourites. This game does not have Game-Spy or similar server search engines. I hope this A your question
