Started a career last night and finished my first patrol. Found a fat convoy
and sank 4 yummy merchies for around 32K. Baron Von Ron, Ruler Of The Waves.

I received one of those "Task force" spotted at XXXX messages last night (usually has been convoy spotted)..

Unfortunately, I was prowling off the coast of Ireland, and the task force was entering Gibraltar at 32 knots. No way I could catch up to investigate.

Anyone ever encounter and successfully engage a task force in campaign mode?

I've seen a few, but alwasy just out of reach, they are!

I did encounter a TF in the Med, though it was at night. GRRRR!!!!

I'll be back on the seas soon. I bought Ubisoft's Pacific Fighters game and Sid Meir's Pirates yesterday. God, do they make machines with joystick ports nowadays? I did run Pacific Fighters and I must say they beat SH3 by a long shot, really realistic graphics!

As for Pirates? It's animated, as usual, but beautiful animation it is! They could have left out the dancing part where you try to win over the governor's daughter. Believe me, the game designers had a sense of humor, the women in the game have BEWBIES! BIG BEWBIES!

My second patrol ROCKED! On my way to my patrol area I kill a coastal merch
and a trawler with my deck guns. I get to my zone and the weather turns
bad. I can't see anything. Since I was in the area, I decide to sneak into
Loch Ewe and see what's there.

What's this?!?!?! A battleship just sitting there?!?!?! I put 4 torps into the
side of the battleship, sinking it. On my way back to open sea, I spot a
V&W Destroyer and a T2 tanker sitting at the dock. I creep up to the
V&W and nuke it before it knows what is happening. Wait a bit for my torps
to reload and then I take out the T2. WOOOOOOOOOOOT!

At this point I decide to head home.

On my way back to base I kill a tugboat with my deckgun (I'm evil
like that).

Sank a little over 51K for this patrol.

Is Loch Ewe hard to get into. ???

Not really. The water is shallow though. I went in at periscope depth, rigged
for silent running, speed at 3 knots. Took forever but the payoff was worth it.

Does anyone know if Liverpool is worth checking out?

I hate you Dallas!

I go into Lock Ewe and all I find is a Fiji class CL and the ubiquitous V & W DD's. I haven't been into Liverpool yet but I do know that he scared the heck out of the locals, see his picture from there in this thread.

Dallas · « **Reply #409 on:** July 14, 2005, 03:28:06 pm »

Brush Wolf, don't know if this will help but I found the battleship parked
by the far side of the island in the Loch. I went all the way into the
Loch and when I got near the docks I hung a left and went north
a little bit and there it was.

Patrol 3 was ok. Ran into a small convoy and sank almost 26K.

If my next patrol zone is near Liverpool I'm gonna go check it out.

Here's a pic of my sub. She's sweet.

Jack Morris · « **Reply #411 on:** July 14, 2005, 05:28:41 pm »

I see the big D has been busy with is photoshop skills!

I would die to see the battleship! What class was it? A Ramilles?

Heya JM, here are 2 pics I took of the battleship.

IAF Lyrkiller · « **Reply #413 on:** July 14, 2005, 08:21:58 pm »

The above pic is the Nelson class BB.

Jack Morris · « **Reply #414 on:** July 14, 2005, 10:52:49 pm »

Flucking A it is! Plus one big D! I think that would count as one of the greatest patrols ever, forget the merchies and tonnage race! How many torps did you spend on sinking it? Where was it docked? Lock Ewe? Well big D has the BB bragging rights for now, I guess we'll have to wait for a CV or a King George V class to be shown!

Little bit of history for you, the only King George V class to be sunk during the war was the mighty Prince of Wales when the Brits were stupid enough to send her right where the Japs had MUCHO air power.

Yes, that helps a lot. I may have to stop by there on the way back to Brest.

I went into the Loch last night and there was a T2 Tanker and a C3 Cargo Ship in port, along with a Destroyer and 2 Fast Boats moored to the pier. There was also, oddly, a Passenger liner sunk by one of the piers, as if it had been scuttled or something.

Damn. And I was so proud of that cruiser I nailed in the Flow...

Damn you, Dallas!*throws a fit in BdU's office*
