1 million total tonnage mark broken

[Spray]

Ok its the 7th of November 1942 id like to thank all the crew of U-105 for making this virtually possible but I just broke the 1 million total tonnage mark without a death. Luck has been on my side to make this mark I have done flat out stupid things and even managed to get the submarine to 2% and survived the ordeal. The next big mark is 1.5 million then hopefully 2 million.

Here is tonnages to related subs

U-2 type IIA with 28 127 tonnes 3 patrols
U-48 type VIIB 191 506 tonnes 7 patrols

These two subs contributed a quater of the score and deserve a commendation. (Total of 219 633 tons)

U-105 type IXB 780 372 tonnes over 13 patrols This sub scored two 100K runs 1 94 K run and has kept me at the above 50K level average for each one of my patrols it has been my work horse sub and is my pride and joy.

Im not doing this to brag and boast im sure its no big acheivement for some people out there but form me its :huh: I never expected to sink this much tonnage or even survive for as long as I have. Lets hope I don't jynx myself and lets see what the end of the war can bring me. I have managed to score this in about 2 weeks whcih is when I seriosly played SH3 other than then I played SH3 minorly when I got it and SH1 in the late 90's. Seemingly ive still got some of that submarine piloting ability left over which let me cross the mark. 2 weeks ago I installed and un installed GWX 3-4 times. The first time I tried it I said screw this its too hard, same with all the other times this was in the span of 2 days. Then I sat down and said to myself I can't be overly stupid anymore I have to concentrate and not be like Gunther Prien (I used to use the deck gun waaaay too much) until I finally started a career. Which has apparently turned out fairly well. I hope this can motivate some other people to GWX its a great mod its hard at first but with a small adjustment of playing style it becomes quite easy but it always tells you dont get cocky when you try something daring. Sometimes you get lucky like my raid on valetta where I sunk 8 warships in shallow water this compromised of 6 different Destroyers including 1 river class and 1 black swan and 2 Flower Corvettes. However a few patrols before that I attacked a convoy surfaced thinking it was safe after I took out the escort until the whaling ships starting shooting machine guns at me which lowered my hull integrety to 2% and had me crawling back to port. SH3 is an excellent game and I think its good me hooked more then ever before.

Nice going Spray! I'm also a big type 9 fan! Love the extra bit of speed and all those torpedoes! My recent patrol is getting rather frustrating, I've fired two whole spreads at a battleship and the thing is still cruising along in the center of a convoy! Of course though only 4 have actually hit him and they were all in the stern area, I have so much better luck when they hit forward. If I were in a type 7 I'd be on my way home already but as it is I'm overhauling for another try! I really want to sink that sucker LOL

Once you get into 1944 you may want to trade that type 9 in for a 7c, would give you a much better chance of surviving in the late war. Deck it out with all the late war goodies and be careful out there

nice :cool: now try a career without extenal view and see if you can match it:|\\

Mature apparently your parents didn't teach you manners when you were a young lad please refrain from posting in this thread if you have nothing constructive to say or I will be a dibby dobber in your eyes and contact an admin.

I use the outside shots to document my story nothing more. :D.

[melnibonian]

Well done mate:up: Now stop showing off and go out there to make the tonnage 2,000,000;) :D :up:

BTW out of curiosity, what realism settings are you using? (I'm not saying this to put you down, I just want to see how different realism settings affect the tonnage)

[Spray]

74% as posted above also.

Also posted above.

I still gotta figure how to use Auto aim and use an outside view for documenting so thats where thats from.

Now stop distracting me and let me sink 2 million :P.

Break out the bottle, I say bring out the barrels.:up:
As for me I use the “outside shots” to quench my eye-candy thirst. And it’s a big one.:p

I bought a PC just for gaming and I find SH3 lacking in the eye candy department. Maybe ive been playing too much BF2 GFX settings maxed as high as they will go. I also don't like the blurring instead of AA effects.

I think we would all be speaking German if I historically accomplished that cause in that tonnage is 2 Nelsons and 2 King George V's scattered with all the merchant ships and tankers I destroyed. No thankyou I prefer speaking english :smug:. However it would be cool if you could have a 3d simulator sort of thing where it actually looks like your a sub captain and you can feel all the different effects but pain. However I see some mental problems which could come around with that fairly easily.

[11Bravo]

Wow! :o

Congratulations!

I worked out your tons per torp for each boat (assuming you use them all). I took your tons and divided by the number of patrols and then divided by the number of torps carried by the boat...

Type IIA 1563 tons/torp
Type VIIB 1954 tons/torp
Type IXB 2859 tons/torp

My question is....what is it about these boats that allow you to achieve such different average tons per torp? You should be in a good position to shed some light on this...

I didn't used to use all my torps with the VIIB and the IIA because I was always running out of fuel before I could sue them all. With the IXB I dont have to worry and normally use all 21 torps unless I take a beating.
