hahaha funny bismark mission

[GoldenRivet]

i made a mission with the bismark just to see what would happen i surrounded the bismark with a dozen fast moving corvettes.

the corvettes were all history within the first 25 seconds.

the bismark had like 3 small burn marks and had one life boat blown off.

thought about surrounding her with like 20 elco boats... now that would be funny.

Now, if those elcos really fired their torpedoes... I guess it would no longer get funny for the Bismark, not at all. Dodging some 40 torps...:dead:

any photo? :rotfl:
p.s. elco rulez!

[GoldenRivet]

yikes - put 20 elcos and 20 swordfish bombers heading for bismark at max speed.

4 of the swordfish put bombs on target with little effect.

the elcos didnt even close to within 900 meters.

was kinda funny seeing all the little guys go flying off the elco boats though. im sure they were all like "Why the ******* are we doing this!?!"

You could have sent them in row boats. As long as the Elcos don't fire torpedoes (like with the virtual torpedo mod) they're pretty useless against anything larger than a sailing boat *g*

Those elcos acutally got some pretty good hits in

but here was the way the mission was eventually set up...

there were 5 waves.

wave one was 15 elco boats

wave two was 15 swordfish planes

wave three was a destroyer escort

wave four was a battle cruiser

wave five was an Iowa class battleship

i played it several times just to watch the fireworks, in all but one occasion the Bismark won the engagemnt. during that one loss the bismark took several direct hits from the swordfish bombs which gave it a severe list to port, the Iowa finished her off from long range within the first few salvos.

its FUNNY watching those elco boats charge the bismark with no sign of fear with the big shell splashes landing all around them... then one of the big shells finds its mark and the elco explodes in a massive fireball with a hand full of the little men going flying high into the air. i wanted to record the game and set it to the benny hill theme.

Ok. Why is it then, that I see no link, so we can download the mission and all enjoy this little encounter? :smug:

Thanks in advance. :up:

[GoldenRivet]

Sure, i could take the time to link it if you want.

the mission is 100% POINTLESS though as all you do is watch to see the fireworks without firing a single shot yourself.

I have also changed the units around so that it is now an Iowa class BB vs. German schnell boats and planes and destroyers etc.

stop talking and hook us up... :)

here you go.

the file name is USS Iowa Gauntlet.

as i mentioned in the earlier post this was changed from bismark to Iowa. I believe you MUST have GWX installed for this to work.

to install this file.

1. Go to your SH3 directory

Ubisoft/Silent Hunter III/ Data/ Single Missions/ english

2. Create a folder called "USS Iowa Gauntlet" ensure correct spelling and capitalization of letters.

3. Put the file from file front called "USS Iowa Gauntlet.mis" into the folder you just created

4. Play the game, it should be in your single missions menu in SH3

NOTE: There is no puprose to this mission other than to watch the battle, you have no objectives to complete. The last ship shows up by 1400 hours to engage Iowa... the mission starts at 12:00 noon. enjoy watching this just for fun battle!!!
