Silent Hunter III - v1.4b Patch [DVD - US]

This new patch modifies game data and in this cases the saves that are made while in missions will not work properly. We highly recommend before installing this patch that "all the Captains should return to bases" or to load a previous in base save (after install) in order to avoid eventual problems.

* Campaign radio messages improved so that a message can have "from" and "to"

fields

* Multiplayer version changed to 1.4.

* Fixed the bug concerning sonar ping for clients

* Added new buildings in German bases (harbors)

* UZO view by night was improved;

* Navigator tells when the last waypoint was reached;

* Customizable values for storm parameters for each U-Boat (see StormConditions

entry for each uboat.cfg file);

* Depth report only when diving (from 10 to 10 meters); Time compression will

drop to 1 (if greater) when critical depth was reached;

* Sonar new contacts are identified as merchants or warships (not as unknown

contacts as in the previous patch);

* Sonar indicator will move faster when the player is at sonar station (and

clicks on the sonar dial); and now it can be dragged with the mouse;

* Some shortcut keys will toggle between current view and the next view: radio

messages (M), captain's log (K), hydrophone station (H) and radio station (R);

* A new option was added on "Merchant/Warship/... spotted" popup window. By

checking this check box (called "Set as default action") the selected action

will be always performed when the situation occurs. This default action will be

saved from a game to other and can be reset, during the game (when press ESC)

by choosing "Options/Reset default action" from Game options;

* Corrected several torpedo descriptions errors within the game

* Added the P38 fighter bomber to the inventory of American forces and the

campaign

* Added the Wellington bomber to the inventory of British forces and the

campaign

* Corrected the damage model for the German Armed Merchant Cruiser

* Increased the detonation range of star shells to 1800m

* Changed Torpedo Momber aircraft type designation to Bomber :)

* Improved the rough waters behavior of Small and Coastal Merchants

* Sonar man - Fixed a bug where "Report on nearest contact" was not function

properly

* Sonar man - Fixed a bug where "Follow nearest contact" was not function

properly

* Dynamic campaign - Add new harbor ships and traffic, including merchants,

minefields and patrols
