Ok Ive seen several screenies from wrecked ships or ships sinking where the camera has to be really close to the boat to the those shots.....

Is there a free external camera? Everytime I hit ctrl+F2 its snaps me back into the sub. I saw that the external camera was disabled. And I also searched and found a camera mod for height but not for proximity to objects. how is this done?

Tried to keep it to a parol report style. Beware, it's long. Enjoy!

------------

Tambor class submarine USS Thresher, first patrol.

Depart Pearl Harbor 12/2/41

Refit at Midway, where we take on one passenger, to be set ashore in Northern Japan. Agent insertion, they call it. Let's leave it a that, for now.

12/26/41
Outbound leg uneventful, no enemy contacts until off Akkeshi, dodging what appears to be several fishing boats as we proceed to the drop zone. Our guest disembarks without problems, but his raft soon capsizes in the surf. We see him swim to shore and signal he made it safely. After that we hightail out of the area. Decide to patrol south along the eastern coast of Japan, towards Tokyo.

12/27/41
Sound contact, possible merchant vessel. Surface to move towards contact at higher speed, repeated diving to establish that we are still closing. Target visually identified as large merchant with composite superstructure. TDC and position keeper work beautifully as we develop enemy speed and course to obtain firing solution.

14:47 ATTACK #1: fired tubes 1 through 4, depth 10 ft, high speed, magnetic detonators, spread as -1.5,. -0.5, 0.5, 1.5 degrees. Observed three hits, tube 2 appears to be a dud or ran too deep. Target lists to port and sinks bow first at 14:51 approximately 25 mi east of Ishinomaki. NAGARA MARU type ship, 7,200 tons.

18:12 SD radar contact, dive to avoid detection

12/28/41
Pearl Harbor alert to possible vessel in patrol area, only 130 nm from yesterdays sinking.
18:01 sonar contact
18:04 second sonar contact - TWO merchants
18:09 SD contact, closing fast, crash dive
Approach submerged, by sound only.
18:45 visual contact on two European style medium freighters in line astern formation

19:03 TORPEDO ATTACK #2a: tubes 7, 8, 9, depth 10 ft, high speed, magnetic detonators, spread as -1, 0, +1 degrees. All three torps hit and detonate, target sinks within one minute. ZINBU MARU type ship, 5,200 tons.

After firing all ahead flank and sharp turn to bring bow tubes to bear on second target. Target evades repeatedly, continued submerged approach, situation becomes confusing at times because of target's wild evasive actions. Cannot develop good TDC/PK solution due to targets constant helming.

19:21 TORPEDO ATTACK #2b: snapshot setup AOB 70, speed 7, range 1000 or less, tubes 1, 2, 3, depth 6 ft, high speed, magnetic detonators, spread as -1, 0, +1 degrees. Target turns sharply towards sub and all three torps hit and detonate in aft cargo hold. Damage insufficient to stop target.

Batteries are seriously drained, decided to surface and use deck gun to finish off target

19:31 Gun attack aborted because of rapidly closing SD contact. Plane spotted, heading straight for us. Evade at periscope depth, no bombs.

19:39 GUN ATTACK #1 after SD shows all-clear. 29 HE rounds in 4 minutes in calm sea sink target at 19:43. ZINBU MARU type ship, 5,200 tons.

19:51 SD reports two contacts, closing rapidly. Crash dive to evade, staying down until darkness, despite low battery. After battery charge, continue patrol south along coast in darkness.

12/30/41

13:05 SD contact, dive to evade.

12/31/41

11:23 Sound contact, warship to SE of our position, moving fast to N, position 40 nm E of Miyako.
12:25 Lost sound contact

13:34 Pearl Harbor alert to possible vessel in patrol area, NW and less than 20 nm from current position. Closing on surface in low visibility, running into two fishing vessels, leads to

14:08 GUN ATTACK #2a small fishing vessel (200 tons) sunk with 4 rounds HE, and

14:09 GUN ATTACK #2b small fishing vessel (200 tons) sunk with 5 rounds HE

Continue on surface towards reported merchant position.

14:12 SD contact, closing, dive to evade and listen for surface ships

14:28 Sound contact, dead ahead.

15:20 TORPEDO ATTACK #3 on large modern composite freighter, tubes 1 through 4 fired at medium range, depth 14 ft, high speed, magnetic detonators, spread as -1.5, -0.5, +0.5, +1.5 degrees. All torps hit well-spaced along target's port side: torpedo #3 hits under the funnel and causes large internal explosion. Target sinks on even keel at 15:27, 33 nm NE off Miyako. NAGARA MARU type ship, 7,200 tons.

Multiple and repeated SD contacts, move E submerged at 2 kts to surface after dark.

1/1/42

Continue patrol to N, retracing the earlier southbound route. No contacts all night and day until

19:45 SD contact, beyond visual range, estimated to fly NE along Kurile Islands chain. Position is 75 nm SE of Nemuro.

Decide to patrol Kurile Islands, going NE from current position and stay out of visual range of land.

1/6/42 Five days without surface or air contacts until

16:00 SD contact, out of visual range, position is 250 nm E of Hokkaido's NE tip.

1/9/42 Depart patrol area to Pearl Harbor, 31 days after leaving same at beginning of patrol.

1/10/42
11:35 SD contact, position 600 nm E of Hokkaido.

1/18/42 Stop at Midway to refuel and take on fresh provisions, preliminary patrol report to base commander.

11/21/42 Arrive Pearl Harbor 8 am, end of patrol.

PATROL SUMMARY:

Fired 14 MkXIV torpedos, 13 observed hits and detonations, one possible dud.
39 round of HE ammo expended.
Four merchant vessels sunk (two European-built medium freighters and two large modern composite freighters).
Two fishing vessels (est. 200 tons each)
TONNAGE ESTIMATE: 25,000 tons
No personnel injuries through combat.
Crew morale excellent, especially after 1st sinking.
No damage through enemy action.
No equipment malfunctions otherwise.

Ratings advanced at end of patrol:
Seaman 1st class Oscar M.D. Price to Petty Office 3rd class, aft torpedo room.
Seaman 1st class Edgar Garrison to Petty Officer 3rd class, forward torpedo room.
Seaman 1st class A.J. Carter to Petty Officer 3rd class, forward torpedo room.
All three will attend the torpedo training course held this month at the base.
Signed:

William J. Cecil, Lt. , commanding officer, USS Thresher

ADDENDUM:
Personal observations and conclusions for future operations.

The appointment to Thresher came on short notice, just the day after the Japanese attacked us at Pearl, and only one more day before departure on patrol. Nevertheless, new crew and captain got along very well.

What was command thinking? To send a fully armed submarine to deploy one agent in mainland Japan? The war was only two days old when I was given the order. That CANNOT be a well planned mission, hopefully something useful will come of it. I regard such missions as futile and a waste of time for the submarine force. Unless agents inserted are in territory held by the enemy and where they can have some local support. I doubt that was the case in our mission - the man appeared to be Japanese American. Maybe he just wanted to go home? He must know some high-ranking officers to pull this mission off.

Torpedoes performed as advertised. Serious issues with depth settings and detonators (impact and magnetic), as reported by many others, did not show on our patrol. Lucky us! And knock on wood!!!

Japanese merchant shipping seems largely unescorted. It appears there is little coordination between surface warships, merchants and air coverage. Lucky us again!!!

The Zinbu Maru sunk by gun fire was armed with a deck gun and heavy machine gun, less than a month into the war. The Japanese must have planned this for a while… Great care needs to be taken in the future to avoid damage and casualties from merchants in surface atacks.

The gun attack on the trawlers was dangerous. With the gun crew on deck we would have been slow to dive in an emergency. However, the deck gun was the only weapon for the purpose because the 20 mm AA gun is useless due to the high fairing of the conning tower. Damn bathtub! That needs to be modified ASAP. We could also use a larger caliber AA gun, say 40 mm, to sink small targets quickly, without endangering the deck gun crew unnecessarily. The 3" gun performed well, the gun crew is excellent!

Rumor has it that Thresher will do some reconnaissance work on her next patrol.

On a sad note: USS Swordfish was lost of Singapore with my cousin as CO. HQ let me see his file: it seems they sunk two merchants near Borneo and then encountered a large Japanese task force off Singapore. Radio traffic analysis indicates they may have damaged a battleship before being forced to surface. His last message sent was 'Forced to surface, heavy damage, gun fight'. May the Lord rest his soul and those of his shipmates, too.

Personal note to my XO: Please get the dock crew to change out the depth gauge in the control room. That gauge reads 'Depth Under Keep'. Dammit! It should say 'Depth Under Keel'. Where did the Navy buy that thing? Rumania or what?

I know how to get the external camera on.............but when I try to fly in really close to an enemy ship it the camera stops short. But there are alot of picture on this post that indicate other wise.
F11 gets you close, but before patch 1.2 you could use Shift+F2 to actually roam (or clip) ships to take a stoll on the decks (we miss this feature) Currently Shift+F2 only lefts you roam inside the sub.

Beery did a nice camera mod that gets you pretty close (included in his RFB v1.31)

I know how to get the external camera on.............but when I try to fly in really close to an enemy ship it the camera stops short. But there are alot of picture on this post that indicate other wise.

My post #902 for example is all F11, the only closer I know of is "shift + 2" and it's good only aboard your sub in SH4.

Here's a small tutorial from command room to conning tower via "shift + 2".
After pressing "shift + 2" keys, navigate by using the arrow up/down keys for forward/reverse movement and the mouse for all angles. When you press "shift + 2" you will be to the left side & down ( guess your on your knees ? ) from the CO. tilt your mouse up a little and move with the up arrow key.
I'm starting this across from Helms-Man and looking toward the rear hatch ( door ).

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/hatch.jpg

Use the up arrow and guide with your mouse toward and up to the hatch. Be Careful Here! Slowly head Through the hatch into a blue field area. Ease up a little to the right & forward ( up arrow & tilt mouse ) and you will see this view of periscope fully down.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/periscopedown.jpg

Ease up with the up arrow & mouse to this "under control" shot.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/undercontrol.jpg

Another shot in that area:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/another.jpg

Slowly scout around using "up arrow" forward, "down arrow" reverse. If you go through walls you will see "Camera out of area" ( I think those are the right words, but means the same. ) Do not go beyond this area.

Here's a very close shot of the radar.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/prettyclose.jpg

Here the Radar man is leaning on radar panel

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/closer.jpg

Now back to the command room and a real right in the kisser look at the depth gauge that you can not see very well unless you use the shift + 2 keys.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/inface.jpg

That's as close as I know you can get with out going through the bulkheads of the sub. As said before F11 key will get you fairly close to any ship within the , ( comma ) and . ( period ) keys vicinity but "shift + 2" is the sub only untill someone can mod it different. Or is it coded ???

Awesome stories. Especially the ones done in "military" format.

Are the patrols kept in detail this way. Lots to remember including times to place on paper?

Or

are the captains of thier boats really taking [paper] notes during thier patrols? :)

Returning from my fifth Photo Recon of Osaka Harbor. We were resting quitely at about 110 ft below the suface. We were waiting for night so we could make our run over the shallow entrance to the harbor before getting back to deep water.

Sonar calls out "Warship Closing Moving Fast Short Range". Hey, what do we care? We are at all stop, rigged for silent running, so no problem.

I decide to pop up just for a look see and sure enough one of them damn gun boats. Well I am not worried for sure now. He does not have D/C racks. All is well with the world.

I watch this little sucker, maybe it was a medium little sucker run right over my position. He runs over my little orange marker. "BOOM!!!" he blows sky high. What the hell? !!!

I take a dip back under the water. I see my boat way down below. I check for damage, no damage everyone but watch is asleep. Back above the water my little friend is starting to come apart and sink.

Sink? Where is he going to sink? He is right above my boat. O' Sh**!!! Quick, like a water logged bunny I duck down to the boat, sure enough he is going to land on my deck just in front of the conning tower. I hit GQ, go to all back emergency and just get enough away that the wreck glances off my bow, no damage. Close,,,But No Ccc-gar.

The crew thought it might be some sort of jap kamikazi trick. But I know now it was the deadly Orange Marker Mine we were issued, but never told about. You know, Top Secrect, Hush Hush stuff. That is what blows up the Jap DDs when they ram us. It seems to only work on warships.

That my friends, is my little tale of the close call at Osaka and The Deadly Orange Marker Mine.

In real life the captains kept a log book. The navigation charts kept track of where they were at what time throughout the patrol. Once contact with the enemy was made the tracking party and fire control worked out enemy course and speed in relation to your own position. All the above was done on paper and the combined records should have been enough to come up with a fairly detailed patrol report.

Does anyone know if subs had a person in the control room that kept dedicated notes on what happened? I would think not. In surface ships, maybe? Too crowded in subs to have non-essential personnel around the control room and conning tower.

Awesome stories. Especially the ones done in "military" format.

-Deep encounter of the third kind- :|\\

Torpedo fired from close range in dense fog, so close I almost rammed her going underneath. I then raced her to the bottom hoping to meet up down below. I got a good head start so I made it deep before we met. I don't remember the exact depth, but it was deep enough to ensure that light conditions sucked so I was forced to use Photoshop to bring out the details. Then I thought why not mess with it some more, and, well, blue: :roll: :lol:

Good job Chopped and nice screen.

How come whenever I take screens my game freezes for about 5 minutes or crashes? The screens get taken I think but it's really annoying and dont say its your computer because I've got a pretty good one that SH4 runs great on except for screens. And also where the hell do screen shots save to? lol I cant seem to find them anywhere :damn:

. And also where the hell do screen shots save to? lol I cant seem to find them anywhere :damn:
There is a folder in your "My documents" called SH4, in there you will find a folder called pictures I think.

On the crash thing: I don't know what it could be, but for me the Ctrl+F11 method doesn't work so I have to use the traditional Alt+Prt Scr, then exit and paste it into MSpaint or something. Anyway to the point: I had to enable windowed mode because it crashed every time I tried to get back, so even though your problem seem to be of a different nature I suggest you try ticking windowed mode if you haven't already. Note it isn't windowed mode in its traditional Windows sense. It still takes up the full screen. At least I'm sure it will look the same as full screen mode if your game and desktop resolution match. The only downsides I guess is that I've read that your resolution options are limited in windowed mode, but I've haven't been bothered by it personally. Logically I can't see the connection to your crash, but in my experience I get less crash to desktop in general when in windowed mode, so maybe try windowed.....?

Sneaking into Rabaul is actually easy :( All you need to do for that CV recon is to hug the south shoreline and you won't run into mines or subnets. Just at about the tip of the south shoreline , you're like 3-4nm from the CVs -- enough for a photo. You may even take a shot at them with slow mk 14s, since by the time they strike you'll be quite some distance away and the DDs won't have a clue where you fired from.

This is method is better than putting the image in the clipboard because you don't have to pause the game and switch to Paint to save the image.

Got my first command. USS Triton in Pearl Harbour and to celebrate my very first command they send me to Japan! Not to patrol some area to familiarise myself with ship and crew but to infiltrate Hiroshima port and take pictures of the ships!

I knew seducing that admirals daughter was a bad move...

Here we are... In the middle of ocean and sailing towards Japan. We are getting close, if amount of aircraft is any signal. Have even shot down few when we couldn't dive quickly enough. Met last night nice old medium sized split freighter. Went down nicely with deck gun. Crew is so much happier now.

Ah, the beautiful Hiroshima. Or what would be beautiful Hiroshima if it was daytime. Managed to sneak close running on surface during day and diving constantly when planes were coming too close. Had to go to periscope depth during last leg though, those shore batteries would be dangerous. I was delighted to see harbour area undefended. Depth is too shallow to avoid attacking destroyers, but this far I have seen only one and it's anchored out in the open.

Ok, got the picture. One large container ship, that's all we could find. What a waste! Oh well, got plenty of torpedoes, night is nice and that destroyer is sitting duck... Battle stations men! Started by shooting one fish into destroyer and two at cargo ship, one set to run deep for magnetic and one for contact. Both contacts worked like charm, magnetic failed to detonate under the ship and instead attempted to sink concrete pier. One more torpedo for destroyer and couple more to cargo ship and we head out.

Cargo ship and destroyer are down, I took chance and went to look at other piers nearby and hit jackpot! Fuso class battleship along with two midsize cargoships and medium size tanker. Since battleship was in bad angle and I have plenty of fish to spare I sent each merchant one torpedo as a greeting using only contacts. Three hits! Not bad... Now to battleship. Riddled the huge ship with torpedoes to side, trying to use unreliable magnetics just in case. Two in the middle, one under front turrets and one under rear turret. After that it's time to reload, wait... Nevermind. Fuso is resting in the bottom of harbour, qualifies as a kill in my book! Since there are no shore batteries, we surface and finish merchants with deck gun.

Good hunt this far. On my way out I give in to temptation and check one more harbour on my way. This time it is close to batteries so I have to use my last torpedoes to sink one large split freighter and one medium split freighter.

All in all, damn good first patrol. Even if return home means running gauntlet of japanese aircraft.

OK guys, it's strictly fictional format here, no military report form. There's just too much editorial comment that would be lost if I did it that way and if there's anything about me you know it's that I always have some kind of opinion.;) OK, one, two, three, GO!

************************************************** *

OK, I'm playing with destroyers again. Here's something different. I was stalking radar contacts in fog, driving rain, 10 m/sec wind, overcast and daytime. Visibility is about 450 yards, sometimes less. I'm shooting torpedoes on sonar only and just sank 2 freighters that way, six torpedoes, 5 hits, thank you WernerSobe!

Two more radar contacts running six knots north, freighters, right? So I set up ahead, 1000 yards off track and wait for my stern shots. Hehehehehehehehehehe! Watch the radar until they're a mile away. Submerge to periscope depth and acquire em on sonar. Wait for the bearing to be about 350 and it's time to start pinging. Ping. Ping. Target speeding up. Approaching fast!

Hmmmmmmm..... That's not very freighter-like conduct... Oh, @#$@#$%@!!! crash dive. At 110 ft or so hit full right rudder pull back to ahead 1/3 at 180 or so and straighen out the rudder. Ahhhhh a nice thermal layer, rig for silent running, hit the RPM at exactly 100 RPM, the quietest (that isn't exactly 1/3 throttle, by the way Ducimus) and just wait to slink away.

Three minutes later here's that high speed freight train overhead and he's dropping ashcans right on top of me. Good thing I'm at 260 and have some time. Full left, ahead emergency for a couple seconds and back to 1000 RPM. The event camera came on so he must have been pretty close. He didn't ping once.

Lets go down to 300, change course 90º, lalalalalalalalalalalala. Freight train again. Here comes the depth charges. Right on top of me and I slink out again because depth is my buddy.

This has happened four times now in a 45 minute period. From the beginning mr destroyer has not pinged once. Unless he has Superman up there using his x-ray vision, this is totally impossible. I'm in lousy sonar conditions with a great thermal layer above me, silent running trying both 1000 RPM and your ahead 1/3. He follows me around like a good puppy dog.

Even in GWX they have to ping you to find you running silent at 1 kt (although these depth charges don't seem as deadly as GWX). Editor's comment: Wrong Bozo!

Other than this event, I really have enjoyed TM. Coming from RFB I didn't really expect to, but it seems to me reality is well served here if you ignore Superman up there. Have any kryptonite?:huh:

*****************************************
Arrrrrrrrrrr! Gave em the slip. :arrgh!:Hey, next time a Zero crashes in your neighborhood, can you get me one of those Mitsubishi tachs? Editor: Ducimus has just finished explaining that these tachs aren't too accurate. They're like Edsel tachs or something, maybe Studebaker, since Edsel hadn't been born yet. Oh yeah, I couldn't use it anyway because I left my metric screwdriver in Pearl. Guess I'm stuck with these Oldsmobile tachometers. I couldn't read metric RPM or whatever they use anyway. I was onboard one of those Limey subs and their tachs said "REVS." Keep me away from those things too.

OK, I'm up here on the surface taking a shower again. Radar says Superpoop is a mile away and not moving. It's mighty tempting to go see what I can do with him but I have a shade over 15,000 tons and 8 stern torps left, one in tube 1 up front. I have half a tank of diesel. "Mass tonnage" will never come up when talking about this cruise. Seems to me the uber-AI results in much more realistic tonnage per patrol. Of course you could cheat and return to Midway for refits to extend it. In R/L Admiral Lockwood would have something to say about that.

No sign of any tractor beams or phazers. The destroyers can be dealt with and survival is not that difficult for me. Editor: hold that thought, BOZO, until after the NEXT destroyer. He served you for bad suchi. Of course I'm trained on GWX where there are no thermal layers and the U-Boats are slower running silent at 1 kt instead of the American Gato's 2 kt at quietest speed. I'm not going to change a thing because I'm just having too much fun. I'd say if you're getting killed too much you ought to work on your tactics.

Remember, when the destroyer is pinging, he's not listening. Pinging is your signal to hit the throttle and maneuver yourself quickly to a new hidey spot at a different depth and get back to silent running. Pinging does not mean he necessarily knows where you are, either. Inaction is fatal here. Keep twisting. Vary depths with the realization that deeper is better most of the time.

When the charges hit the water, remember his stern is now facing you. Do a radical turn and hit the throttle because you're in the clear for a bit. If he's on top of you dropping ashcans and you sit there, your patrol is over. He can't hear you, he can't ping you right now. Hit the jets and get out of there. After a short spurt, go back to silent running again.

If there are two or more destroyers you can be sure that at least one is always backed away listening. That means much shorter bursts of power reluctantly used only when survival is in the balance. Stay deep, quiet and zigzag like the drunken sailor you are in Pearl. Your goal is to put both destroyers back of bearings 135º/225º and the angles progressing toward 180º, showing you are leaving them safely astern.

Remember you are moving. When the bearing to the destroyer stays the same, that means you would be on a collision course if you were on the surface. In this case it means that he is either moving straight away from you or is going to pass right overhead. There's a freight train a'comin'. Try to change course to see if his bearing then begins to change, showing he will pass ahead or astern. If the bearing does not change, he's following your turn. Then you have to time the drop and run out from under it as the ashcans fall.

Ducimus, you're the expert! Anything to add? Am I making you want to get out here?:up: I can tell you one thing. RFB is gonna have to wait. This is too much fun.

*****************************************

This cruise with SH 1.3 and TM 1.4 no convoys sighted. Twice I have encountered two destroyers together with no convoy, one group of 2 unescorted merchants, 3 fishing boats and the bad guy I've been dancing with for 2 hours now, who seems to have run out of depth charges but still makes runs on me.

Had two-thirds battery left and was playing pattycake with Mr Destroyer. After the tenth dry run or so, I figured he's lost his teeth, so I came up to periscope depth. It seemed like he had a harder time tracking me at periscope depth! Anybody have any info on that? So I poked up the scope to see how he conducted business.

I'm still freakin about running him clear out of ashcans, but he's still plenty dangerous. Probably on the radio with his little airplane buddies or other tin cans. Earlier in the battle, when he was running at me and I shot three in a spread he outmaneuvered the torps and just ran over me. That was bad because he wasn't out of depth charges yet.:down:

Don't want to do that again. So I waited to see how he conducted his attack. High speed approach and run over me. Lets off on the throttle after he's a hundred yards beyond me and lolligags out there. Hmmmmmm... I'll try one torpedo and see what I can do next run.

Stuck up the scope so he saw it, and just like old Ferdinand the bull he charges at 30 kt! I just lowered the scope and stayed put. Raised it after he passed. Angle on the bow 180º. Speed who cares!!! Range, mark! 400 yards. Wait one... Fire three. One up the poop chute while he's pickin his nose, eh? BOOOOOOOOOM! He lifted up and came down in two flaming pieces. (How do I do this?.... @#$@##!!!! Who'da thought Google would have problems linking.) Photobucket time!!!!

Ah, tis better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. This Japanese destroyer was worthy of any Limey tin can in the English Channel. It was Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier. One mistake and somebody dies. He got first shot with over 100 depth charges in dozens of deadly accurate runs with me in only 200' of water. I tried him earlier with that spread of 3 and came up empty. He almost killed me there. But he was the one that made his allotted one fatal mistake this time. Everybody's entitled to just ONE of those, you know.

I machine gunned the lifeboat. It isn't enough to destroy the boat, you must kill men who are that dangerous before they kill your friends on a future patrol. War is hell and sometimes we love it so. I'll apologize to the man upstairs when I get there, but our meeting has been posponed for now. Let me just breathe the fresh surface air and smell the smoke of victory.

"Hey Cookie, fire up that oven and get to work on our victory cake!"

"Cap, there ain't no oven on this lousy simulation. You should never buy another Ubisoft product. This damn thing ain't finished until I have an oven!"

"You should talk, Cookie, you were in the conning tower all during the attack whining about no periscope animations. Get a life, would ya? Now bake that cake. That's an order."

"Surface the boat. Course 90, speed 2/3, I'm going below. Wake me at 0500 or if we detect any aircraft ."

Man did I ever just rock a convoy. Its mid 1942 and I'm on my way to the coast of Japan to drop of an agent in my gato class sub. Its around 3am in the morning and I'm running on the surface finally safe from the dive bombers. I get a warship sound contact at long range. I decide to ignore it for the time being. Soon I get sound contacts for several merchants and a couple more destroyers. It turns out they're heading directly for me so I go to periscope depth and plot a course towards the convoy. Once within 3000m I empty my fore reserves into the merchants. 3 torpedoes to a large merchant, two to a medium merchant and one to a small merchant. The two smaller merchants are destroyed with no problem but the large merchant is able to limp away (after 3 torpedoes!).

This first volley complete, I reposition myself to be in a better way to shoot my aft torpedoes (moving at 1/3 the whole time naturally) while the fore tubes reload. As I'm reading for my second volley, two mitsuki class destroyers are basically right on top of me. I'm able to stick a torpedo in the side of one but fail to sink it. The damaged destroyer is baring down on me from behind. I decide to play for all the marbles. I accelerate to flank and open the door on an aft torpedo. The destroyer lines up right behind me as I expected following my incredibly audible at flank. Hook line and sinker, he finally goes down. The second destroyer follows a similar fate in pursuit of me and goes down with two torpedoes to the bow.

The last destroyer is stuck behind a half dozen merchants on the other side of the convoy. I finally get my second volley. I manage to take out one more ship but miss two shots. The final destroyer is finally coming up to me and I manage to sink it with one lucky shot to the side. It is now open season on the rest of the merchants. I only have four torpedoes left any how so I surface the boat and sink the remaining 5 ships with my deck gun with minimal resistance.

I was very proud of myself. Not a single ship survived my fury and not one destroyer managed to get close enough to harm me. Total victory!

Not much to this one really just a really bad day

Anyway I was driving along at about 140ft when I hear the sonar start to beep so I surface to see what it was and lone behold I surfaced right in the middle of a Japanese task force with about 20 battleships 18 destroyers 13 destroyer escorts 8 carriers and at least 15 merchants.

Well I managed to dive (somehow) while being shelled by every single ship. (weird thing is they all missed) I got down to about 80ft then a single *********g depth charge hit my *********g conning tower and I got the submarine destoyed screen.(after spending almost a week on this 1 patrol)

I learned something new that day and that is...

DO NOT SURFACE WHEN YOUR SONAR BEEPS!!

Alas fellow sailors. The USS Sargo has been sunk. December 5th, 1943. All crew lost.

On a return voyage of dropping off intel then patroling the East China Sea, the USS Sargo was sunk by a Japanese unknown destroyer at approxomately 1:00 am (4am in Pearl). We were all asleep.

In reality...I run this game at 1x TC when I can...so I did while asleep. I was running deep and silent....and at 4am my time I was woken up by pinging and alarms and the sonarman practically screaming his lungs off....but it was too late. The pings came in at the last second, somehow the destroyer found us by sound.

I have opened up new command back in March 1942. Tambor class, SS-200....the USS Thresher.

I was out on my third patrol, after being demoted to a porpoise class, because I got my Gato all shot up and it had to be scrapped. I compleated dropping of my agent in Hishashou, I was headed home and came across a convoy, 3 tankers some mediums a few smalls and 4 destroyers in the common for the era diamond pattern protection screen. I sunk two of the tankers one with 5 torps ( one was a dud) and the other with 4, I took down a medium with three, and while attacking the third tanker, was becoming a target of interest for the escorts. I did some quick reasearch and figured out the draft of the tanker, and then decided to try something I read about them doing back in the day. I got on the same course as the tanker met its speed at 6 knots, dove deep enought to be under it, advanced to 7 knots to get under it and then matched it's speed again. I was not lost to the destroyers but I became impossible to get untill I left my hiding spot. I stayed there under the tanker for 5 hours game time and waited for it to get dark, I then dove and advanced speed to full to get out from under my metal rock. I managed to get away with only one round of depth charges that were set too high to impact my sub. I lost them and returned back to PH with nothing but a scratch. It's a tricky manuever, and even trickier to stay underneath, but if you can do it, it can be a lifesaver in times of trouble.

Just found me a small task force in my latest Patrol (Sargo, USS Spearfish) :arrgh!:

A Mogami heavy cruiser and 2 destroyers

Here the first 3 torpedo's on the Mogami..

I was enjoying the sinking of the Mogami so much, I forgot about the rest :damn:

He got me, but just minor damage.. after that I nailed him.
http://www.oldsmobile1958.com/extra/hit4.jpg

Then a cat and mouse game started that last about 2 hours with the 2nd destroyer..
I was out of torpedo's, so hiding was the only option :down:
In the end he gave up, and sailed away.. and I returned to Pearl after 3 days.

This quiet and peaceful night, cruising close inshore to japan, was soon punctuated by shore batteries. Which forced me to turn on my heel and head out into deeper water where i was out of range of the shore guns.

http://www.ducimus.net/sh4/tautog/p3-1.jpg
http://www.ducimus.net/sh4/tautog/p3-2.jpg

What follows was a night surface engagement against a convoy. In the first attack i hit a freighter, and evaded the escort who insisted on staying around to find me. I surfaced about 6,000 yards away and then gave chase to the remainder of the convoy. I didnt think to screencapture the entire thing, so i only have little bits and pieces of it.

http://www.ducimus.net/sh4/tautog/p3-3.jpg
I think at this point i had taken out the tin can with a down the throat shot with my stern tubes, which left the rest of the convoy utterly undefended.

http://www.ducimus.net/sh4/tautog/p3-4.jpg
Surfacing, and how you know you crash dived in a BIG hurry. Being super ballsy, i chased after the remainder of the convoy, guns blazing. Naturally this got the tin cans attention and i had to crash dive at the last minute. Somewhere on this crash dive, i shot out a rear salvo which i was setting up before i pulled the plug. Once i had the solution with the tin can all too close with shells splashing everwhere, i pulled the plug and shot my fish on the way down. All the while i was continuing to plug away at the merchants. I guess the crew didnt have time to secure the gun when i pullled the plug :rotfl:

http://www.ducimus.net/sh4/tautog/p3-5.jpg
They're sinking, and i'm moving on before any help arrives.

I decide to do a little test on an Asashio class DD, due to the fact they only have a DC rack, I added a few DC throwers around, and the results, there too good for me, sunk me almost three times testing a new improved version.

Great shots in this thread, I'm new to SH4 but here are a few of my favorite shots so far...

Actually felt bad when I saw this...

You're correct, this seatexture mod is part of the reflection mod.
It's a work in progress mod that covers a lot of stuff like sea, sky, sun, moon, reflections and much more..

Took a few photos through the scope while on patrol hope you like them.

Jap destroyer goes down, just north of Truk. Hit her right on the bow she just carried on down and
was gone in literally 1 maybe 2 minutes!

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/7393/closeupmarugu8.png
Came in close on this one trying to ID her no escorts about so thought I'd take a picture while I was at it. She took all day to sink had to finish her off with a shot from the stern tubes. Negative got a bit scratched on this one.

Kimposan Maru. Sorry for the quality of this one but my sound man just told me an escort was turing towards me, so had little time to line up the photo, before I headed deep.

People...STOP posting images in PNG format. The file sizes are WAY too big that way. Convert them over to JPEG before posting them.

mrbeast

09-15-07, 08:32 AM

Yes I used Arcsoft Photo Impression 4 on them. Cool program very easy to use. Was a bit bored one day so decided to have a play and see what I could do. My inspiration came from some of the 'through the scope' shots from real patrols, especially with the sinking destroyer.

Mrbeast, your shots are quite realistic, especially that last...no, wait...:rotfl:

No, I really do like them. Have you checked out (or contributed to) the 'Realistic Screenshots' thread on the SH3 boards?

I've had a look, some very good stuff on there, really good faded old photo effects.

Not a problem, man. It doesn't affect me as much, since I'm on DSL, but I know there's a lot of others here on slow connections. Just trying to look out for them. :yep:

Battled the huge task force from the Midway mission, took down 2 carriers before my sub got some unplanned ventilation. This big carrier took 2 fish, t-bone the heavy cruiser and didn't even slow down to apologize..

I am blown away by all these fantastic screen shots. I really need to save some pennies for a better graphics card (ATI 1550 256mb at present). Keep up the excellent posts. I think that the modders should all feel very proud of their work. IMHO, They really have done a lot to help Ubi with this game and to retain so many fans after the issues with SHIV.
