Here is the initial shot of Mystery Subsim #7
http://www.subsim.com/mystery/ms7a.jpg


If you guess, and you are wrong, then you have only two wrong guesses left in the whole contest before your participation ends, so guess wisely (if you are really sure). If you don't know, don't waste a guess! :) You can only guess incorrectly three times in the contest.

Remember the rules!! (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=143829)

If no one tries to guess this shot, or no one guesses correctly, there will be an expanded shot to follow.

Good hunting!
Neal

This is just a wild guess...

Shells of Fury.


Aside from SH3 the last subsim I played was 688i. Before that it was Silent Service.
I guess I ain't as hardcore as I need to be for a contest like this. :lol:

From the review: (http://www.subsim.com/ssr/enigma/enigma_review.htm)

Enigma has AI that makes you say, "Ouch!"--enemy ships can put the hurt on you. Poke your periscope up in the middle of an armed convoy and you are plastered with tracer fire so dense, you can feel the hate and desperation of the crews aboard the merchants. Destroyers behave aggressively with tenacious, if somewhat predictable, tactics. The ships and planes are based on historical models with some modifications. Subs carry a realistic loadout of around 22-26 torpedoes. They reload much quicker than real WWII subs could, usually in a couple minutes. However, being that this is an alternate history, that can be explained by hydraulics that were actually employed on the German Type XXI U-boats that were developed at the end of the war (the real war). Destroyers, corvettes, and PT Boats (motor torpedo boats) have varying kinds of armaments-depth charges, torpedoes, hedgehogs, and guns.
