Finally Taking the Plunge! (GWX)

[Schöneboom]

Guten Tag, Alle,

Naja, after taking the Type VIIB out and sinking 15 freighters in one month at sea, I figured: even with my 1WO doing the math for the surface shots, this is whack -- totally unreal tonnage. So I'm d/ling GWX 1.03 and installing it tonight. Hoo-Ahh!

One of these days, you might hear I've gone to Penang! (I'll try to avoid the Conning Tower of Death!)

Tschuss!

[java`s revenge]

The best choise you made.

I find shIII + GWX muuuuccchhhh better than shIV.

[STEED]

Just one question, what took you so long?

Any way you will be blown away. ;)

[Schöneboom]

Indeed, what took me so long?? :hmm: Well, I like to get thoroughly acquainted with the stock version first -- then I can fully appreciate what the mods do. I've added a lot of them individually (which I'll remove before the GWX install, naturlich).

Oh yeah, I just read the GWX book yesterday. Mensch, that was the clincher! Looks like I'm not getting much sleep tonight! :D

[ReM]

You will love it....

Just remember where the button for silent running is...!

... and the button for crashdive!:yep:

'Z' and 'C', I love thee!:lol:

@Schöneboom:
Am I guessing right that you are NOT a German who lives in America?:hmm:
Because some of the German words you use seem to be a little bit displaced. Maybe you spent some time in Germany where you picked up some of those words?
I don't want to offend you, I'm just curious.:know:
Where are you from? Holland?

So, my accent gave me away, eh, Thniper?

Ich bin eigentlich Amerikaner, aber ich studierte Deutsch an der Uni (2 Jahre, hier in Kalifornien). Et je parle un peu du francais, un poco de espanol, e un po d'italiano. Ma non parlo niente bene! :lol:
I'm starting to think I won't sleep at all tonight! :sunny:

GWX is the game. Silent Hunter III is the add-on :rotfl:

Welcome aboard, :up: :up: :up:

[Growler]

Schoneboom, forget sleep. It's over-rated. Besides, you're in a GWX sub now... you can sleep when you're dead.:D

Oh, and before you set out of that first patrol, remember that there's a reason why they call Kpt. Lehmann "Darth":D

Schöneboom's posts are most entertaining, with those German words like:

junge, junge!
Naja!

:lol: looking forward to more posts, Schoneboom! Tschuss!

Guten Tag, Alle,

Naja, after taking the Type VIIB out and sinking 15 freighters in one month at sea, I figured: even with my 1WO doing the math for the surface shots, this is whack -- totally unreal tonnage. So I'm d/ling GWX 1.03 and installing it tonight. Hoo-Ahh!

Tschuss!
You can get good tonnage even with GWX, this happened to me yesterday starting a new career in 1939 VIIB. I head out to ordered patrol Grid BE31, on the way there i came across two taskforces!
First one in AN13 with the HOOD!!! and another BB. I sunk the hood, & evaded a very poor depth charge attack. Couple of days later i come across another Taskforce in AM35 - this TF is always around heads from the Gib straight up around ireland then back again, if you know where its heading you could probably sink this TF in every patrol :rotfl:I sunk the Carrier and evaded another poor escort attack.

So this last attack was a bit of a cheat as i knew where to ly in wait for it. But the Hood taskforce i never knew about, plus another BB was travelling with her, once i sunk the hood I left.

Oh yeah notice my speed - 6 knts, this is early in the war attacking a TF at 6 knots would be suicide later on, but early in the war you can risk it. Escorts only pinged me after i hit the Hood/Carrier.

First patrol 1939, tonnage sunk 72000.

Don't forget to put GWX over a clean install of SH III

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Don't forget to put GWX over a clean install of SH III

Two years of Uni study was only the beginning, meine Herren. Here's the secret for learning German:

Way aye man....and it works canny well :()1:

[Canovaro]

offtopic but interesting posts. :hmm:

[Schöneboom]

Back on topic, then :D

My first reaction to GWX w/ SH3 Cmdr: "Oh... My... God!" :o
Mensch! So this is what I've been missing!!! :rock:

Tonight I'm adding the sub skin pack, the Engine Telegraph sound, and oh yes, the Open Hatch... :up:

In profound gratitude to you all, here's one of my fave links -- for Edith Piaf mp3's, the biggest totally free collection out there. I know you Kaleuns love playing that French music on your gramophones! Meine Herren, the Little Sparrow:

http://edith-piaf.narod.ru/pesni.html

I'll be back with a screenshot from my 1st patrol. Just passing north of Lerwick now... Ooo, my 1WO's spotted a Frachter! Come to Papa... :arrgh!:

Tschuss!

[Brag]

Thanks for the Piaff links!
(though, I think she was post-war)
Gute jagd :up:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: We are glad you like it.

[Schöneboom]

We are glad you like it.

And I'm not even dead yet! :lol:

Und mein lieber Brag, look at the dates on the Piaf site -- her career really started in the '30s -- by 1940 she was a huge hit in France. "L`accordeoniste" is one of my faves from '40.

Alors, mes amis, enjoy!

[Jimbuna]

And I'm not even dead yet! :lol:

Tell us that in 44 :up:
