My first run in with Dolphins!!

[sirbum69]

Lol i had just sunk a Hog island with guns no less. Seems only reason i missed on this one was because she changed her speed. She was doing 13 knots for ever then just before i sent the torps out she must have slowed down cause she was doing 11...Blah...i was too far away, should have been 1K or less and wouldnt have mattered.

Anyways on to the reason of the post, after i sent her to the bottom with my guns she sent up a flare so i took her down to 25 M in case help came, then my sonar says contact moving fast 355 degrees, im like huh, that is where the boat is i just sank. Then i thought well maybe he is picking up the life boat or something so i went to the scope and i see this small blip on the top of the water. Couldnt make it out tho, so i went to external camera, flew over there and Bam i see this porpuse pop out of the water. Then i noticed there was like 10 of them, HAHA...

What did they come to the aid of the boat that sent up the flair. Were they British Dolphins with sonar on there back looking for me LOL....Was too funny....Anyways i tried to get a pic of them and the sonar man saying contact moving fast but print screen didnt seem to take the pics...oh well

Ctrl + F11 is your friend (and your screencap key) :)

Hi Sirbum69,

Sound like a great experience.
I have never met any, neither in SH3 or SH5. :ahoy:

Yeah they come with the OH II mod, I picked them up on the sonar and they get shown as a merchant ship. I chased after them for a long time thinking it was ships and it was only til I was right on them and saw the surface of the water break while using the scope. Switched to external cam and.... I be damn, dolphins. The mod also mentions whales included but I haven't seen one of them yet. :)

my sonar guy picked these ones up but when i went to the sonor myself i heard only dolphin sounds. So i could tell right off what they were. That or i heard a whale. Anyways it wasnt a screw sound it was def a animal sound.

It happened to me a few times that I ended up chasing a flock of dolphins. That is why now I make it a habit to check the hydrophones myself. Gute Männer is what we need, unfortunately Benno isn't one of them.

Shame, OH makes SH5 from like crap for me.

It does load a lot of extra data compared to the stock game but its basically giving you a completely new campaign with a lot more going on. You got the mines, nets, new ships, dolphins, whales, icebergs and more. When you add up the other mods as well then it becomes quite a bit.

My specs are the following:

Xeon dual core 3.0 ghz running @ 4.07 ghzs (water cooled)
4gigs memory (overclocked)
Ati 6950 2gigs of vram (both gpu and vram overclocked)
150 gig velociraptor harddrive
Vista 64bit
Samsung 24" 1080p screen

Graphics are maxed and everything runs smooth, I do notice longer loading periods even with the 10,000 rpm velociraptor with the OH II mod installed. :)
