Please tell me you were using some of your mods on that one.

CaptStumpy · « **Reply #283 on:** May 22, 2005, 02:03:30 pm »

Wow.

East? You mean the Med side?

What difficulty level are you playing?

I'm currently in Oct 1940 patrolling West of Gib and I'm only on mission 14. Still on my first campaign. You've racked up a LOT of patrols.

BTW is anyone playing "Dead is Dead" here?

yeah i meant west of gibralter sorry.

nope not moded on that one. i learned a certain kill shot almost always garunties a kill. set ur mag torps about half a notch below the ships hull and just forward of there bridges , one torp usually splits them in half. u guys dont want me to post my modded pixs. lol around 213000 tons on my modded one for a cruise. but i am playing at 42 % realism to so. that has things to do with it.

i ran into a couple convoys that 2-3 ttroop ships each. i think the big one had 3 troop ships a liner(opps) 4 C3's , 2 T3's and a few small merchies and small tankers. i hit the liner by accident, finished her off with deck guns. funny thing is there was only one dd for escort. he was the first thing i ran into. DD's go down easy if u get there bow for some reason. but i do have the gme patched to 1.2. carefull of 1.3 guys the DD's can be super killers.

On one patrol, I bagged a T2 tanker and several other ships including neutrals. 4 ships total.

I will need to post pics on that patrol.

I then ran into a second convoy and bag a second T2 tanker and a small tanker. and 4-5 other ships

including C2 cargo ships.

One thing to note, neutral convoys dont mean that they are neutral. There are British ships hiding in

those convoys.

Oh, yeah this was out near Nova Scotia.

Happy Hunting!!!!

Anyone notice anything unusual about this screenshot?

OK, so there I am, heading for my patrol grid near Gibraltar, sailing through a nasty storm (I HATE the friggin' North Atlantic!!! I just wanna shoot stuff wit' m' gun!) and I get a report of a ship travelling slow about a hundred klicks away.

Sure... What the heck, eh? I alter my course a bit and plot a 'best guess' intercept course (I seem to be pretty good at it - must be all those 'A's I had in gemoetry!) so I hit my intercept point and can't see a bloomin' thing in the storm.... I head back along it's plotted course for a few minutes and finally decide that it's fruitless. There's just no way to find her in this storm, and quite frankly, I don't even wanna. It's nasty out there tonight! (If I did want to, I'd head for periscope depth and do a circuit or two on the hydrophone with the engine off...)

I switch to crew management, intending to put an officer into the Navigator chair and order him to return to plotted course but before I do.... *CRASH!* *Screech!!!* "Ver takenk damage, der Herculoid!" What da....?!? I head topside for a look around. Who the hell's shooting at me in this weather?!?

Well, nobody's shooting.... I had run headlong INTO a T3. Yep. Hundreds of miles of ocean in all directions and I happen to hit a ship in the nighttime storm. The watch just missed it, I guess....

And yes, somehow I wound up with 1% hull remaining (no compartment damage, which I though was odd) and made it back to port.

After blasting the B/ outta da vater....

Oh, yeah. And it took my watchmen another THIRTY SECONDS before they spotted the 11,000 tonne ship sitting on top of my bow!

J. Carney · « **Reply #290 on:** May 26, 2005, 09:49:59 pm »

Now Barrabas, you know how bad visibility can get on the North Atrlantic!

The 1% hull integrity is SCARY though. That's gotta be one of the best screenies posted yet... and a damn fine sea story!

+1

I play a little practically every day.

Dracho · « **Reply #295 on:** June 01, 2005, 12:43:13 pm »

Ditto.. though for time reasons I've been focusing on 30 minute episodes of a game of CivIII Play the world.

Commander La'ra · « **Reply #296 on:** June 01, 2005, 01:01:39 pm »

Oh yeah. I've found that if I pace myself to avoid burnout, I never really lose the urge to play.

I was the same way with Aces of the Deep. I suspect SH III will linger on my hard drive for quite some time.

manitoba1073 · « **Reply #297 on:** June 01, 2005, 10:56:36 pm »

KOTOR II is taking a lot of my time now, but I have a 60,000+ patrol that I'm working on in bits and pieces. I'm trying to save up prestige for a Type-XXI.

Here is an image of a real map of what the Germans used in WWII.

Was watching World at War.
