March 1942:

Found a convoy, got detected, depthcharged (2 destroyers, 1 Black Swan and 1 Flower) and survived. While the escorts tried to find me again I rose up to PD and managed to sink a Pyro and a whalefactory ship. When the Whalefactory ship sank I saw the following:

Cool mate! But please change the first pic, mate. Its size is 1471.27KB, and for those with dial up, this would be a nightmare... Just convert it to .jpeg, and repost it, mate!:up:
Edit: the second is also a .png format, please use .jpeg...

I'm such a newb :nope:


1. The water isn't on fire, it's an explosion beneath the surface.

2. Screenshots are quite easy to take: Ctrl + F11, they are stored in your SH3 folder.

And welcome aboard.:up:

I'm such a newb :nope: Just press Ctrl +F11, that will do the trick. You could also download FRAPS, to capture video and/or screenshots. :up:

Dial up? yes it exists.. its been used from an old telephone system at Hamburg-Finkenwerder.
Recently they discovered a deserted underground bunker, with a 1200 baud modem left to find.
It was still operative and connected to subsim.com.

The story goes that farmers till 1997 reported to local police to see suspicious people going in and out the bunker.

In 2006, december an 85 year old disturbed person was taken in, he called himself Kaleun.

(CNN) -- The Pentagon replied on the uprising story of the arrested 85 year old man who claimed to be suspect in Germany of a Nazi forbidden organisation. Mr Bernard Heimlich, (85) was taken in custody after disturbing the neighborghood at night on a historic u-boat bunker site. Mr Heimlich, supported by many local citizen, claimed to be the last man standing in the u-boat war after 1945.
Heimlich, also kept a steady internet connection to a certain well know u-boat website, where he dropped his knowledge in the faint hope to raise the war against the old war enemies. (link)
After the search in his ''bunker'' police officials found documents, diary's, and most supprising, a working u-boat, ready to be manned and bring under sail.
Mr Heimlich, stated also in front of the press the following statement: "With all the followers the war will continue, we will sink them all, und einmal kommen wie wieder (we will come back)".
Official German response is that the whole story is placed out of its context, and never such thing happened. Its all been out of proportians.
An English historian mr Irving, found documents who contradicts, and his new book titled ''war forever'' (amazon.com/7883773/html)will go in depth on Hitlers secret followers.:rotfl:

I really dont know what you are talking about, but this story is on the net and real. The link works well here, maybe your ISP or are you at dail in???

Anyhow, I have an unauthorized copy of ''war forever" and the intro is like:

"No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope
studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered
the possibility of survivors off the past and yet, across the gulf of the atlantic, minds
immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Allies with envious eyes, and slowly and
surely, they drew their plans against us"

do I need to say more?
