I invested nearly a full half hour setting up an attack and waiting for the target to come into position. I never use time compression except for long distance travel so each attack is a real investment in time.

I was in shallow water, just outside the harbor in Iceland waiting out a M31B. The ship got to about 10 degress from my hitting the fire button....and it just disappearred. Vanished. Poof. Gone.:o

No explosion. No Smoke. Just no ship.

Jumped to the hydrophone...dead quite all 'round the dial.


I couldn't begin to guess the number of attacks I've been through with SHIII.... has to be thousands...but I never...ever saw this one before.....:nope:


Don't really care to see it again. Klingon Cloaking Device on board I suppose...:-?

Using the Mission Editor they can be told not to, but then when they hit the last waypoint they would just stop. Not much challenge there.

You know you would have sunk it. Everyone on board agrees.

Write it up in the log as a catch. Congratulations. :hmmm:

I thought about the "delete on last waypoint." factor. Unusual that the last WP was so far from the logical ending point..the port facility.

You have to know when you can go where...:yep:

Early in the war the merchants waddle into Iceland like ducks at the carnival shooting gallery. No bad guys around to give one grief either.


I had just been worked over by a DE I ran into in heavy fog trying to penetrate a convoy. Iceland seemed just the place to recoup and rack up some easy kills. It was.

I'd check around Philadelphia and Norfolk to see if it reappeared at either of those places. :yep:
