The Whole Freaking British Navy!!

[madmike81]

Oct 15, 1939
Loch Ewe...

I decided to poke my head into the port for a look-see.
And low and behold...the whole freaking Navy was there!!

Have i mentioned how much i love GWX today??

i got the Nelson, Hood, Indomitable, and put the Rodney out of action for a bit!!

Nice! Might just have to pay it a visit!

[mlp071]

I am not sure is that set in stone date , i runned into same task force 200 miles NW from LE on Oct 10th.They were coming from Skapa Flow and were heading towards Rocknall Bank. It was still in RB area when i reached it 4 days later.Then they went south.

[madmike81]

I made a save file just prior to attacking this group of course.

This way i can relive this...over and over and over...

I was going to post some screenies of the mess i left. But all they really did was settle to the bottom with it being so shallow there and all.

But it was definately the best eye candy out the periscope i have seen.

The only thing that comes close is those non-escorted big oiler convoys down by Cuba.

[Sledgehammer427]

after gunther prien raided scapa flow, britain moved the whoooole fleet into loch ewe...lucky bas****:rotfl:

[madmike81]

Funny thing was that i raided Scapa just before this one...got a BB there too.

HMS Revenge I believe it was.

[bookworm_020]

Such a target rich enviroment! I'm sure you got awarm welcome when you got home. Hope you like it, as you are now enemy No.1 as far as the Royal Navy is concerned!:arrgh!:

[Packerton]

How did you escape Scapa flow? I always manage to sneak in early war but after I let loose the fish I get sent down under.

[madmike81]

I would chalk it all up to luck in Scapa. That place is a nightmare but fun and challenging to get into in the same breath.

I just try to hug the coast after i raid the chicken coop.

Either that or just run like mad for the west exit.

Just stay away from the south entrance and you should be good.


PS...im a GWX user....

[Hakahura]

Yes Madmike I think the date is set in stone.

Check out this SH3 Commander report,

[Mooncatt]

well ive seen scapa very busy in my time but never as busy as that lol. nice find ill be taking a peek.

[Hakahura]

Not Scapa!

Loch Ewe!

Wish I could find some old screenshots I took.
Almost the same as Madmike's only with lots of explosions.

I decided to take them as they left port.
The narrow channel they are forced to use helps greatly.
Plus you get slightly more depth under the keel.

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

LOL. the second who finds it
i gave destruction to them a while ago ;)

its posted here somwhere to :hmm:

oops i must be obsessed with scape :oops:

[Steel_Tomb]

Oooooohhhhh....I think I might start a new career just to sink this little lot lol. If I go on the same date will they be there yeah? Or is it a random thing?

[Hakahura]

Pretty sure it's scripted.
Same time, same place every career.

[papa_smurf]

Next career I start my first 3 patrols will going near to Loch Ewe.

Talk about a target rich enviroment!

(looks like I'll be joining the harbour raiding suicide squad!)

[Hakahura]

Don't go into the harbour! Thats suicide!

Take them down as they leave, just outside the minefield.

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

i took em out IN the harbour. and got away with it :arrgh!:

[Hakahura]

Ballsy! Well done!

Try that with a uboat sim
As we are
Not some floating tiger tamk

:roll:

Your exploits count for f**k all
We can all play the twunt with a 37kts fully tweaked uberboot with 10000 DG shells

Meh

[Hakahura]

37 kts, WTF?

10,000 DG shells, eh?

[Biggles]

The only thing that comes close is those non-escorted big oiler convoys down by Cuba.

Hang on: you know something I don't know? Tanker convoys with no escorts?!:o

[Kriegsmarinesalior1942]

One time I entered the harbor at Rejavik and saw 15 Sunderlands flying in formation i hitailed it outta there!

[Foghladh_mhara]

Its probably mutual paranoia.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr is paranoid and BBW is a Leeds fan which is the same thing. And also a very bad speller. The 'h' is silent:yep:

[Biggles]

This is a bit off topic, but Kriegsmarinesalior1942, you got one heck of a big signature!:o

LMAO
Not paranoid
Not my fault if they are all out to get me
:rotfl:

What " h " would that be

[madmike81]

if you go the area just south of cuba just after the US gets into the war, some of the early convoys down there are not escorted or lightly escorted.

Usually there are 6-8 oilers and a couple of large merchants thrown in for fun.

:roll:........OMG :lol: ....gotta be the misspell of the century :rotfl: :rotfl:

How apt :yep:

[Brag]

Mohr, you run around with a fantasy U-boat, then compare your achievements with those who are subsimers. There is no connection. Two different worlds, planets.
It's your game. You can do anything you want with it. But if you want the respect of the realism Kaleuns, you have to use standard boats and reasonable realism settings

so you say its impossible to have loads of shells when reducing food and more important TORPEDO'S (and bernard) ? :hmm:
btw. the reloading time is back to 5 seconds. relism is cranked up to 80+ (forgot is it was 82, 84 or 86)

i suppose il throw away the file's then... :shifty:
but then il still be feared in SH3 :arrgh!:

[Packerton]

I dont understand how 10k deck gun shells even help a submarine...DD will beat you in a gunfight anyway.

[melnibonian]

Guys play the game however you like it. The important thing is to have fun with it. I do understand BBW's point and I agree that playing in very low realism settings creates totally unrealistic results. Still what can we do. Some people like it "real" some like it......"unreal" it's a matter of opinion and taste. Thank God the Ocean is quite big for all of us ;)

[Jimbuna]

Is that the phone I hear ringing ? :hmm:

Does that mean I've gotta stop work on my Type I Deathray? Its only at the design stage right now but I've got great plans for it. It can vapourise a Light Cruiser at 10 km and is powered by seagull droppings.
