If this keeps up, I think this topic will set a record in posts and views.

I seriously doubt ANY game will outsell or outperform SH3 for 2005, KUDOS to Ubisoft, too bad the Brits have stated they have NO INTENTION of paying dividends in the near future.

Oh well, it's their company AND it means more cash for research and development and game testing.

A +1 for all involved,since I haven't been able to check back and csee how all the patrols are going. that should catch me up with any awards I have missed.

I played two 25K patrols today... just spent a little relaxing time shooting up small fry around the English coast with my deck gun. I'm gonna 'get serious' tomorrow, and try to get up into the 50K+ range on a long patrol if I get one, or make an entry into a major anchorage if I'm able.

I finished my 56K patrol. Freetown was offering good hunting for awhile but then it dried up and I kept getting assaulted by Hurricanes....I ended up spending about twelve hours submerged in very shallow water just so I wouldn't get bombed. Crept out of the area at 3 knots, with the intention of finding some targets for my last three torps.

Problem was it got so stormy on the way back home that I couldn't see anything, and there was a dearth of radio contacts. I was down to about 25% fuel so I just called it a patrol. Gonna go out again tonight.

Are there any other missions assigned besides "Go to this grid coord and chill for 24 hours"?

I love this game, but it's just too darn easy.... The repair times MUST be upped in the next patch. 10 minutes to fix your whole sub?!? What up wit' dat??? And why does my periscope never get broken?

I still haven't seen any warships bigger than a DD, although I did see a contact labeled 'Task Force' sail by out of range, once!

Rank seems to improve skills over 'qualifying' in a particular task.... Sr. Seamen do much better/faster than the scrubs do.

I leave you all with these from the UBI forums:

Actual conversation this evening:

(Dad to Daughter)
"See...math can come in handy. This is why you need to pay attention in school and in sailing class (we race)."

(Wife to Daughter)
"Hon...no matter what your Dad thinks...he is not a U-boat commander".

Had a great patrol last night in the shallow waters of Scapa Flow. Sent two anchored warships to the bottom then ended up playing cat and mouse with what by the sound of all the pinging must have been the entire British fleet on top of me. Got out with almost no hull left due to damage from depth charges.

Another thing:

...Is it too much to ask that a convoy scatter once in a while after I start blastin' their rafters and shiverin' their timbers!?! The sinking-ship graphics are great and all, but how 'bout some challenge for once instead of 13 ships just putzin' along at 6 knots all in nice neat lines & stuff after I've sunk three of their buddies!!!

manitoba1073 · « **Reply #208 on:** May 01, 2005, 11:12:07 pm »

have u upgraded to the latest patches.

The Bar-Abbas Anomaly · « **Reply #209 on:** May 02, 2005, 08:44:22 am »

Yes, I'm patched up to 1.2.

(The photos are not from my system and are probably from an unpatched game....)

I slipped through Gibralter last evening to see what was coming in and out of Egypt. I passed by a lot of single merchants to check out Port Said and Alexandria. Holy crap, that must be where the Brits manufacture destroyers. I had at least a dozen after me, plus several PT boats. The Hurricanes kept me under water, but with all those destroyers about, who the heck cared about surfacing?

If you want higher realism, go to www.subsim.com and try the new realism combo mod they'd put together. It's several mods together.

On my second patrol, and i am now inside Scapa Flow, undetected. also someone has failed to mention an underwater antisubmarine wall at Scapa Flow.

if I dont find anything there, i will return back to port due to low fuel.

Well, I will tell the results of my incursion into Scapa Flow. Happy hunting!!!

Yeah... that wasn't there before the patch... I found it the hard way last night, too.

I only got a can on my last trip- a 4-PIPER even. Luckily, those old 'gift horses' don't have much in the way of ASDICS.

I played the "Sink the Battleships" scenario and set it to 1945 and tried a Ttpe XXI boat. The destroyers were firing what had to be hedgehogs, but would run through them and sink themselves. It was weird. That was before the patch though, so I'm hoping it's fixed by the time '44 rolls around.

Sunk all three of the battlewagons, btw.

Yeah, those XXI's are dreams to drive. Fast, quiet as a thief and can outdive the depth charges.

Picked up a DVD-ROM and SH III yesterday although I didn't have time to install them last night as it was late when I got home and I was very tired. I have the game installed now and I am going to try one of the tutorials.

I patched my game to 1.2. Not knowing that the anitisub wall was going to be there. Carney went into Scapa Flow w/ the unpatched game. then when he patched it he then also found out.

BTW, w/ the patched version IT IS NOT easy to get in undetected. i got depthcharged and died. then i surfaced by accident and sank a Flower Corvette. then sank a second corvette w/ a spread of

fish.

I have decided to play in the Med for awhile.

Ya know? If this company is so great with patches and stuff, just imagine what they can accomplish if they get a workable dyna! Me thinks Erik is full of admiration for Ubisoft, and IF they do make a successful multiplayer campaign sometime, imagine what they could do for SFC?

Jack... I think that we might be onto something. I mean, didn't Activision loose the contract over some legal BS?

Why don't yopu start checking Mexico for some contract kidnappers who don't mind going after a software engeneer?
