GWX Dolphins? Whales?

[VIICDriver]

LOL, I do not know what it was. Cruising due west along the northernmost edge of AF87 in my trusty type IIA early Sep. 1939. I perform a routine trim dive, cut the engines and stop by the hydrophone room.

I'm getting an unknown contact at about 010 and it sounds like nothing I have heard on a hydrophone before. A very high pitched high frequency whistling/whirring. If it was a prop I'd say it was turning about 18000 rpm!

Was able to plot it on the map and after tracking it (sonar man would track it even though it was 'unknown') I give it a course of 160 or so and doing speeds anywhere of 2-4 knots varying. I pull within 1000m of said contact and surface, jump to the bridge and start scanning...nothing at all there.

Start running more or less parallel to this anomaly and get myself within 100m of it. Cannot see anything on the surface, periscope depth and listen and this 'thing' is now screaming on the hydrophones and I can tell by its direction it is pretty much all around me now. Quick surface, nothing there. I tried to free view and look around but it was about 0300 and the water was very murky so could not see anything.

Gave up the hunt of it. Cant kill what I cannot see. If you guys have stuck dolphins and/or whale sounds in there hats off to you. I just encountered them! If not I have no idea in hell what it was but we are back on patrol and have heard nothing else of the anomaly since.

Don't you dare torpedo Flipper! :huh:

[AVGWarhawk]

That dolphin has a magnetic bomb that he is attaching to the pressure hull. Harpoon that bugger:arrgh!:

[VIICDriver]

It isnt flipper. He's dead. Its Bernards very fat pet-dolphin "Flubber". Here seen after a local fish-eating contest:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Good one Seth!


Yes ther are dolphins in GWX, it's listed in the manual, but I don't think there is any renown in puting a torpedo into them!:lol:

[Sailor Steve]

IS NOT! IS NOT! IS NOT! How can you say that? Flipper is my hero!:oops:

Actually, like Lassie, Flipper will likely live forever.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Anyone caught shooting dolphins will be shot at dawn.

By order of the Kpt. :stare:

Dammit, tuna does not taste the same if the big chunks of dolphin are missing!:rotfl:

If it tasted like tuna, then it was Flipper. But if it tasted like chicken, I'm afraid that you need a new dog.:p

Would be cool to have the Whale Factory chasing the whales.....just to be torpedoed by by the first greenpeace activist in history.....some german U-boat-commander :D

Would be a better tactic against those whalers than THIS:

[peterloo]

Well, dophins sounds cool, but seeing whale factory ships chasing after whales are much better. We will become there heroes by sinking the whale factory ships!!!

[danlisa]

Where are the..."Sharks with fricking Lazer Beams attached to their heads"? That I requested.

Mutated Sea Bass will not do.:stare: Even if they are ill-tempered.

:rotfl:

[Mooncatt]

i seen dolphins on GW never heard em on hydraphone before though

[JU_88]

whats wrong flipper? dont you like depth charges?? :D

[AVGWarhawk]

Oh, we love Flipper.......marinaded in red wine and garlic. :o

[FlyinS]

"Doubtful our sonar would even pick it up. And if it did, it would sound like whales humping or some kind of seismic anomoly"

My I ask, just what do whales humping sound like?:o

[K_Sea6]

If whales are hummping in the Ocean and there is nobody around do they still make noise?

YOU DISGUSTING PEASANT!!! That's just sick!

Any Frenchman will tell you it's WHITE WINE with fish!

[MRV]

Dolphins arent fishes :D I think they taste more like beef with seawater.....

[Sailor Steve]

True, but it was just for the sake of...oh, never mind.:rotfl:

Yeah, never mind....please pass the wine:doh:

Could be nice have wales in the sim like that :lol:

I don't see a whale in that picture, just 2 kilo class subs and the latest invention in submarine stealth technology in die middle:D

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Anyone caught shooting humping whales, or shooting whales while humping, will also be shot at dawn! :stare:

[AVGWarhawk]

How much hump would a hump whale hump if a hump whale could hump hump?

[ref]

Could be nice have wales in the sim like that :lol:

I have the model, Gibs made it a long time ago,but I'm still trying to crack the animation format, perhaps after a few "not modding, just playing days" I'll start trying to implement a few ideas Diving Duck gave me.

Btw, I didn't check if it was changed, but my original dolphin files had a -10000 renown

"Doubtful our sonar would even pick it up. And if it did, it would sound like whales humping or some kind of seismic anomoly"

Or as once posted way back..."a shrimp farting" :D

Dont worry. my sub follow the wale and looking for whale factory ships :rotfl: :rotfl:

[MRV]

This is what I consider armed escort......

.....as long as Whalers notice this and are protected by DD's on their hunt ;-)

Apparently, like a seismic anomoly.

Or a russian sub! Nice quote from "The Hunt for Red October"!

As for people eating flipper - Your Sick!:doh:

I love all animals, especialy cats! _ when there BBQ!:p

[AS]

How did you know the distance when you were submerged and just using the sonar??? Cheers, AS

[Enigma]

I seen me a mermaid once. Even saw me an Octopus kill a shark. But I aint never seen no phantom Russian Submarine....
