Just trying my hand at capturing screenies from a patrol. :)
I happened across a convoy in the Java seas and got really lucky.
12 ships, 4 of them destroyers.
I got into position and had a bead on 2 of the escorts, let fly with 2 fish at each, and 2 fish at a large tanker.
Every single one scored a direct hit and the 2 escorts when down immediately, and the tanker is badly damaged. The remaining two escorts were on the other side and as they tried to get through, one of them collided with a merchant causing some damage. Managed to evade a couple of depth charge attacks then I saw an opportunity to take one out I went back full and rose to PD, just as they both came behind me... and the slowed down, either to avoid each other or get a bearing on me... 4 fish out the rear and both go down immediately.
This leaves the rest of the convoy unprotected... and out of the 12 ships, I sink 11 of them. The last one bugs out and heads south, and I have too much damage to pursue properly.
This along with the destroyer I happened across just 150m of the cost of Freemantle makes for a very successful patrol and the first time I virtually wiped out an entire convoy. :)

I did something silly... I pressed ctrl+shift+F11 by mistake and heard a ping from the PC which tells you a warning box has popped up. alt+tab out and it ask if I want to start a capture, so thinking this is to do with the screenies say yes.
Except I can't stop it... and in a very short time there are 1500 seq shots in my SH folder. I had to save and exit to stop it.
Anyone know how to turn it off, can't find any mention of this in the manual or on the reference cards
