>Wouldn't you have to turn on a vpn every time you start steam though?
Nope. You need VPN only one time when you start steam to change wallet region to RUB. then you turn off steam, turn off VPN, and you're free. Catch is, you need to buy in keys and sell them in market

a BRA walks into a girl and asks for a bar

is arma cold war assault ok here?

So why was the Coretex facebook website BTFO'd? is ED seriously this mad?

whats the /simg/ verdict on cold waters?
what happened

What is Russia's equivalent of the Loach/Littlebird or Kiowa?

Maybe the Mi-8R which has a ELINT or Mi-24K

KA-60 maybe?

Has anyone encountered a mine field in cold waters? How difficult are they?

None because dedicated scout heli's are dumb

Well nowadays yeah, but did they ever have an equivalent?

Is it KEE or KAI owa?

bamp

Has anyone thought about using a steering wheel for rudder pedals? A lot of people seem to use the pedals that came with their racing wheels, but the racing wheel itself seems like a better idea. You could attach a big stick to the wheel and it would make for a fairly realistic rudder, plus you'd benefit from force feedback. Professionally drawn schematic related.

I'm basically trying to come up with a thorough but versatile poorfag setup. My ideas so far:

- Delanclip for headtracking
- Use old Saitek AV8R joystick for collective + twist grip throttle (remove the centering spring, add some plastic tabs or something for friction)
- Buy used Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 to use as main joystick
- Buy used Logitech G27 racing wheel to use as a rudder (a used racing wheel is a lot cheaper than dedicated flight sim pedals, plus I could use it for racing games as well)

Mi-8R

Narwhal > LA

piqued my curiosity aswell it looks like an MH-65 Dolphin/AS565AA Panther that's been outfitted for military use, pretty neat photo. Had no idea they were used outside of maritime operations.

Here's a pic of the panther

ASW can't find me.

>Submarine combat in the 1968 campaign

>[propeller noises intensifies]

Good to see the modding community already underway and the devs seem to be on-board aswell.

Just need all the bugs squashed in upcoming patches.

...

>You get the piece of shit Mk37 for the 1968 campaign
>Slavs get SET-65 which only came into service in 1973

Flaming Cliffs 3 for sub warfare.

>Get through most of the Cold war campaign. Game starts seizing up for some reason and doesn't spawn the nuke subs in the bastion I'm supposed to be nabbing

Seriously, it's irritating.

>cold waters
>after five hours of restarts I get a mission to take out an echo missile sub in '68 campaign
>manage to get the drop on it and its attack sub escort
>destroy both with first salvo
>think for a minute that I'm finally getting the hang of this
>three torpedoes slam into my side a moment later, no doubt from a 2nd escort I missed.

I don't think I can handle this game, I mean the only other subsims I've played was the SH series, I can't handle 3d warfare.

What is wrong with the crew models, /simg/?
They started being like this after I tried switching spoken language from english to german.
Restarting the game didn't fix this.
I'm running silent hunter 3 with gray wolves expansion btw.

nice

...

ded

Haven't visited /Simg for the past few months,did anything happen?

>New sub game came out, its pretty fun
>/wgg/ has been revived and /simg/ is now a containment thread
Thats about it

Ouch.
What is the new sub game called?

where is the problem exactly ?

they're acting german

Interesting - how come the 688 doesn't have an anechoic coating?

Cold Water

Think I saw on the forum Its a bug.

Oh good good. Fucking active sonar.

First one for Egypt.

Egypt has some cool liveries.
The grey MiG-21 one is rad.

COLD WATER IS OUR GAME. FUCK OUTTA HERE SIMG

>OUR
Who are you?

>purchase russian shit

what did they mean by this?

Are you talking about the Mistral?

Wtf mind blown!

Cold Waters is pretty nice, but I cant dodge torpedoes for shit, what are the tricks?

Also, I wish that instead of controlling the rudder, planes, and ballast yourself, you could just give the chief a depth, speed, and course in numerical form, like in Dangerous Waters and Silent Hunter. Seems way more convenient, and also more realistic considering you, currently, as a captain, need to have your eyes locked in the three or four navigational stats at the same time if you are doing complex stuff and can easily fuck up by yourself.

Also, whats the thing with the event camera? What is it? I guessed it is like the Silent Hunter event camera, but it never appeared. How does it works? Game looks the same with it on or off, where does the event camera trigger?

Best way to dodge torpedos is to get away before they lock you up. Eg. fire a few harpoons at sub 200 feet, enemy ships will counter by sending ss-n-14 your way, you dive to test depth and stay quiet while the torpedos search for you at shallow depth.

Devs are adding depth and course orders.

Shift E turns on even camera with icon at top-right corner.

>fire a few harpoons at sub 200 feet
Damn, i always thought air-surface were to be fired at mast depth, i never tried firing them at more than 50ft.

>Devs are adding depth and course orders.
Thats good

>Shift E turns on even camera
Yeah, but i always leave it on, but the problem is that i dont know what it does. I suppose it is to show your weapons hitting enemy forces but it never appears, so I imagine it does something else. What does it do, exactly?

...

dodge it like a missile. just pull g's

youtube.com/watch?v=A_6iyUa2z2o

do your best edits

...

Does sempai luv Chinese planes?

Yeah, I didnt used the right words, I actually dodged some torpedoes a lot, with knuckles and noisemakers, the real problem was making them go away and stop coming back to me everytime

if its one torpedo, you can just dodge until it gets bored and explodes. if its more than 2 then just kiss your ass goodbye

Fire MOSS when the torps miss you then change your depth hard.

I see

Yeah, it was two, i was doing pretty okay til I accidentally pressed the emergency blow hotkey. I wish there were more interface and menus to minimize the need for hotkeys. Dangerous Waters was pretty great on that for me, you could do so much without relying on the keyboard.

event camera will show what the enemy deploys against you generally

Oh i see

what about in '68 with no moss?

68 is an afterthought where Russian subs use post 68 torpedos. Still, SET-65 only has a sensor range of 880 yards so go fast and change depth hard after it gets distracted by a noisemaker or change depth before it reaches you in the first place.

...

whoa....deeep


really gets my sonar pinging

Looks like a missed opportunity

Is Cold Waters worth it, /simg/? I like SH and didn't mind Atlantic Fleet too much, but $40 seems like a bit of a stretch for how much content there seems to be ATM.

I want russian and british subs and metric system.

Lotta depth in the game though and with modding already in the works with help from the devs this game is gonna have a nice lengthy service-life it seems.

currently 40 is far too much dude

youtu.be/WrZef0tWyQc

Playing Cold Waters immediatelly made me want to reinstall Silent Hunter 3, but since I already played the shit out it with GWX mod, I'm looking to know about the other SH games.

SH4 or SH5? Whats the better one? I have no special preference to any particular theather of operations.

no it's sim-lite bordering on arcade with little content. maybe for $20

...

...

SH4 is is US subs in the pacific and actually pretty good. 5 is buggy uplay trash

SH 4 1.5 with TMO 2.5 and RSRD

You won't regret it.

I'm gonna try it

Danke

How does one sink warships in the 1968 campaign?

Nice that you mentioned this meme, because it is one of the first things i remember when pic related appears in this fucking game

its not fair
