n order to make a mini series from one mission in the game Silent hunter 5 I am playing I need to experiment with shots and using the free moving camera within the game. The Pilot I was working on was 4:3 due to the fact I have a 1280x1024 screen. Might redo that entirely. So now I downsampled my screen to 1920x725 as well as 1280x720 to see what worked best and tested some free camera shots. I made a short video (showreel) out of the test shots.


Hope you like the shots and angles. I know they could be better but well, they are test shots for a reason.

The music rights for the Das Boot music are Klaus Doldinger's and remain his. I thank him for his great score. The spn Kalimba is by mr. scruff who made that song as sample music for Windows 7 (Creative Commons license invoked since i am not planning to earn money with my video's)

The Atlantic Ocean is a big place when trying to find small ships! :hmph:

Thank you Jim !!


Tonight the poignant realism and sobering character of the game Silent Hunter 5 hit me hard after I torpedoed a ship in the dark night.


That is why I made this :

I saw the Light!
 

This little beauty nearly bought the farm but was saved when her nav lights and red crosses suddenly became visible through the gloom.

It pays to zoom the nav map sometimes!
 

Enroute to the patrol area in the "Atlantic Air Gap", the TC dropped to 1. I checked the log and then I noticed the "shallow waters" icon flashing. Wondering
why that icon would be flashing in the middle of the ocean, I climbed up to the bridge to be presented with this sight! The only deserted island in the
middle of nowhere and I was about to run aground on it! :oops: It's situated about 150 Klm NbW of Loch Ewe in the waters North of Scotland and is not visible
on the map unless you zoom right in. Back Emergency saved the day and I didn't have to sit out the remainder of the war on a small island with 43 blokes
and no women! :D

Hahahaha awesome !!

Lucky you !

I managed to beach my boat near Wilhelmshaven due to forgetting TC was at 512.


It was hilarious.

I wasn't as lucky on a previous patrol...this is what happened when I left the XO in charge while I went and made some lunch while transiting the Kiel canal! :oops:
(It was a very short patrol)

OMG Kevin ! Never make lunch without pausing the game. It is not like when I fly my He-111 in IL2 CLOD on ridiculously long stints and strange routes to avoid those Spits and Hurries where I can autopilot for hours and at times even going out to get groceries ;)


Yesterday..... Ventured into a harbor area :


"Yeah..... Let's decide to lure that sub in and sink it...."

"Oh, wait, I know, I will go lie in wait blowing my horn at regular intervals while the two of you circle around with your floodlights and pings and throw random depth charges. Maybve he will show himself then........"

Heinz Joachim Kirk, descendant of the Illustrious Wener Kirk who survived world war two, decided to honor his great great great great great great great grandfather when he got his own commission..........
