Here's a look inside the tower of TMO1.8. Basically the same, officer in shorts. Good thing is most of the dials are clickable and you can drive and dive the sub just using the dials inside the sub without the game icons. The diving angle is improved, really tilts better. I'm headed up now..Just took my Gar down to 600 ft.

Nice shots, Flegmatica. Did you know that if you pause it right when you want take the shot, then hit NumLock and then the Del key on the numpad it will remove all of the guages and stuff, plus the 'Game Paused' sign, and let you make a clean picture?

Undefined · 08-17-09, 12:24 PM

Now i know! Thanks!

E:

One question tough, i would really want to get camera closer to the ships, like through 3D model etc to get nice shots, is this somehow possible?

i don't rember where i was at the time, but i decided to sneek into the enemy's port to shoot some fish in a barrel (i always love to see T3 tankers just sitting still) as i get closer to the port sonar picks up one contact, warship and is was darting all over the place. i pop up the scope to see who is in the port and who the little speed racer is. the port only had 2 good targets(a T3 and a good sized warship) and the warship that is flying around the port keeping uboat at bay turns out to be a PT boat. so i sit a wait too see how the PT runs around untill i find a good little gap i can sneek thou without being heard. so i take it and sneek right past the PT. as i enter the port i pop up my scope once more to see who is in town for the night. when i was all ready i fire 2 sets of 2, one set for each of my targets. as soon as the fish hit the water the larger warship starts ping me but that last for a very short time before he is hit and sinks. so i did take too much time to care about it. both targets are hit and down, but when i last had my scope my up i saw that there was a smaller ship off to the side of the port. so i slowly start turning my sub to line up for a shot from my rear. i come to a stop and pop up the scope to confirm all the numbers and she is all ready to fire with my scope blacked out. i was destoryed. so i go to the other scope and move it up just so i can see under water, and there she is, the PT sitting right over my bow. she was just sitting there, not moveing, nothing. so i fire of one fish to the target i had locked in and it whent down with a perfect keel snapper. so i go to look back to by buddy who seems to be having a BBQ one the back of his boat, he has moved a bit and dosn't seem to care that i fired from right under him. so i start trying to think of a way to get rid of him, running away probly would not work and trying to take him with the gun would not work cuz my gun is on the rear and he is over my bow. so i think back to a time were i was taking a DD on with my main gun, we end up running into eachother and the DD whent up in smoke and split in 2 were i was all fine besided a few hit from the DD guns. so i have a plan. i lower my uboat down a few to the bottom. i look up and he still has not moved at all. so i blow ballast and go ahead flank. SMACK! the side of her hall hits the tower and the bottom lands right on the bow. it sits there for a few short seconds then slides off and keeps going down. i head back to port with the best kill in my book to date.

timwatson · 08-25-09, 02:02 PM

Would any one out there be interested in this topic?

There is a way to reliably gain access to a 33,200 ton naval unit in Scapa Flow....

timwatson · 08-25-09, 02:54 PM

If there is a better place to post this topic, please advise....

Or, how does one start a new thread on gaining access to the western approaches to Scapa Flow, and to Loch Ewe?

These are the two locations known to have floating docks, at least during the first 15 months of the war....

Are you talking about Silent Hunter 3 ? cause SH4 is about the Pacific submarine war, not the atlantic one, head over to the SH3 Forums and ask there, im sure someone will help ya out.
