Icebergs and ice

[Falcon666]

I've seen icebergs in movies made by community members, but I've never seen one in SH3. I went all the way up to Greenland once, in February... I assumed it'd soon be impossible to advance, but I got all the way to Greenland and even checked out here green grass. So, where are icebergs to be found? And shouldn't there be an ice barrier in the northern atlantic in the winter?

[bigboywooly]

Depends on the mod you are using
The stock game icebergs didnt work very well

No Ice isnt modelled in SH3
Pity

[Madox58]

I went North once to the
GREAT WALL! :o

I suppose it's meant to be the Ice Sheet?:hmm:

[Kingcobra24]

In the stock SHIII sim, ice/icebergs are only modeled and seen when playing the single missions. The campaign never received the "finished product" of having ice floes in the northern regions.
:lurk:

[Falcon666]

And what about with GWX, which is what I play. No ice either?

[bookworm_020]

Yes there is icebergs in GWX. Look in the humor photos sticky at the top of the page and look at the post for the 31st of January to see some.

The only thing you get for sinking them is some ice cubes!

I once found an Iceberg on Sept.12, 1943 at AE828 (playing GWX). Pretty exciting. Shows up like a ship contact, but without sound in the hydrophone, of course. If there hadn't been storm, I'd had fired some shots at it for gunnery training. ;)

Cheers,

:o That middle shot is really something else!! :rock:

[melnibonian]

I've never seen an iceberg in GWX or GW, but hope dies last as they say:cry:

[Woof1701]

Are those shots real?? If so I gotta take my U-78 to the Greenland next winter.

[rasmus1896]

Why to wait?
Go straight to the North Pole!:lol:

SH3Gen should mark their areas for you :yep:

That's true but they tend to appear in areas with minimal traffic. I'm on my way to the Carribean for some pina coladas and some juicy Tankers;) :D

hope you're not wasting your time then. for two reasons:

1. No icebergs in that area. belive me: I was there not too long ago, didn't find a single one! (not that I really searched for them down there....)

2. If it's too close the americans joining in the war, you won't find much traffic....I didn't.......:shifty:

[Reinhard Hardegen]

I am off the grid map and along the greenland coast, but still no ice? It is Feb 1940... Were is all this ice in GWX?:hmm:

[Jimbuna]

I heard that March is the iceberg season ;)

[Reinhard Hardegen]

Thanks I will try then.:up:

[GT182]

Nice screenshots Tuddley. :up:

But as BDU would say, "You're not out there to find and sink icebergs. You are there to sink der enemy's shipping!! Then you can play with der ice." Ya? :yep:

[Corrupt_File]

I had an iceberg at BC6X in September on my last patrol. Deck gun crew couldnt sink her, go figure. I can drop a 2,500,000 quid, 30000t BB, but a chunk of ice defies me.

EDIT: This is in GWX

[Sailor Steve]

That iceberg is a lot more than thirty thousand tons. Probably a lot more than thirty million.

[Iron Budokan]

WOW, those were some awesome pics! :rock:

[Hartmann]

Could be possible change the ugly brown colour texture of the Ice cap to another in white like icebergs ??? :hmm:

Hmm... Icebergs are like holograms. :D Every little piece of an iceberg is a little iceberg on itself. And none of them is sinkable, as ice is lighter than water and always floats. Oh yes, they are all floating. ;) The only way to sink'em all is to melt'em all. Take some nuclear torpedoes with you and maybe after like tousandth trip you'll sink the bastard and a few of his brothers. Good luck!

Awesome! :rock:

[Jimbuna]

But did you find any enemy ships ? :hmm:

[Brag]

But did you find any enemy ships ? :hmm:

When you go for the ice, you take some beers with you and load your tubes with vodka and caviar. Let the icebergs sink ships. If they can sink the Titanic, they can do a job on a Nelson. Cheers! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
