The great thing about Ubisoft (common sense too) is that they market their games worldwide in different languages! Sort of like the vans with a door on either side amidships, everyone was like wow, what a great idea! Well, vans were around since the 60's and it took until the mid 90's to think up that one?

I think a post in SFC general would enlighten us as to the status of the license of SFC games, I do not have a clue except that Erik and company LOST money with deals from other companies.

It would be so cool to see Ubisoft have exclusive rights to developing and marketing a SFC game, no middle companies to muck things up. Imagine the graphics and the details!

Imagine the Anti-Starship wall they could build surrounding Earth.

Ducked into Scapa Flow for the first time since patch. Hit something solid that wasn't there in the pre-patch. Boom. Then started reading latest posts here about the wall. D'oh!

Jack, I'd rather not. It's kinda like what you would have done with that girl you wish you had back, you know... the golry of 'what might have been?'

UBI getting SFC would be killer, that is for sure.

I went into Scapa Flow last evening just for grins, hit F-12 and then visually wandered around a bit.. viola! Marine mines tethered to the ocean bottom..

u guys should see my other sub lmao. the one i use for tests. lol top speed 63 knots surfaced 24 knots submerged thats a VIIB too. lolthe only probs i have is when i go to periscope depth the spped jumps to 80 knots temporiallly and occasionally its been known to go to a depth of 100 meters or so. lol theres no crash diving with this baby. as i have already sunk it like 10 times testing it. went to periscope depth one time and ended up at 200 meters and she went boom, then there is always the in ability to slow down fast enough to avoid collisions. talk about a whole new sense of reality. lol

i am so glad i use a unmodified sub for my campaigns.

i'll have pixs of it at those speeds soon. however did manage this one while testing it out blew off the propellers of this freighter. lol

you know the last Sub game I played was Tom Clancy's SSN. I did enjoy the heck out of that game then. How does It compare to SH3?

Stephen

LOL...last one I played religiosly was red storm rising on my C64...

For it's day...I'd say top of the line...

Played the hell out of it...then went on to the gold boxed AD&D series...

ahhhhhhh, the good ole days, Pool of Radiance on a Commodore Colt P/C! I actually got a day off for nothing and spent my whole day gleefully playing that game (actually, it was for weeks, but I could spend that whole day playing). Then came Wing Commander!

I was always first to get the expansion disks as my mom would go to Origin (Austin, TX based) and buy it on first day of release and mail it to my APO. The boys on base were envious, and pirates as well, as copies somehow got distributed on Ayers Kaserne shortly after the arrival of my disk. I have no clue who would do such a thing...

Ahhh ok popped in the DVD loaded it up around 6 pm today. It is now 4 am and I am now just stopped playing.

I hope you are all happy.

Whacked 2 merchants so far. Couple more are crippled but a IIa not all that good in the follow thru, only 3 tubes and no guns and such.

Will, last night i went after a C2 freighter and i nailed him 4 times and he did not go down. one eel missed. The type IIA is more a canoe than a sub.

and i did not recieve any renown for that very short patrol. tonight i will try again.

I finally got the game and a drive earlier this week. Even though I have only had enough time to check out the tutorials a little all I can say is WOW!

You guys make me sick... I'm in the middle of sodding finals and cant find the time to play!

Well, here's something to make you feel better JC. I call it "Nightengale"

4 fish to sink a c2. lol trust me guys try the weakness mod for ur identify charts. all it does is show u what part of the ship is vunerable parts, and far as realizism goes any uboat captian already knows those things. so its not cheating, u still have to aim for urselfs, and hope u get lucky.i have run across a couple of those my self till i got that mod. usually most often it takes 1-2 torps anymore.

J. Carney · « **Reply #235 on:** May 06, 2005, 10:35:38 pm »

I've never had a C2 take more than about 15 rounds or 2 fish.

Commander La'ra · « **Reply #236 on:** May 07, 2005, 09:26:07 am »

There's been reports on the Subsim forums about the occasional 'unsinkable' ship, and they usually mention C2s when they talk about it. Personally, I've never found a ship I couldn't sink, but I did find one C2 that took 4 torpedos before she finally went down.

I just figured I was hitting spots not well-suited to sinking the ship or that she was loaded to the gills with foam pool toys or something.

On the other hand, on my last patrol I nailed a 8,000 ton C3 just forward of the bridge superstructure and had her go up like a roman candle. That made me happy.

Heh, the problem with a IIa is 3 tubes 5 fish total and no guns at all.....

Had a patrol last night only found 1 lil coastal merchant and it took 3 torps on the beam and still didn't go down, though it was in full flame. Backed away from it and rammed the bastard, went down to 12% hull myself but the bastard finally capsized. Still took it 15 min to sink.

Second patrol, new career, took out a armed trawler that was coming right at me near Scapa Flow. Nailed it w/ an eel.

Oh, did I mention that I now hate dud torps.

and now i cant wait to get a Type VIIB. I then will be able to take out anything that moves.

For those of you who do not know what starshell are for, i will tell you.

They are for nighttime fighting illuminating the target.

That is all.

Dracho · « **Reply #239 on:** May 08, 2005, 12:51:05 am »

I just finished patrol 20. Thus far, I am at 617,363 career tonnes.

Despite a couple of outstanding patrols, I guess I am averaging just short of 31,000 tons per patrol.
