[Sailor Steve]

I was honestly struggling to remember if the original/stock version had barrage balloons in or not :doh:
No, I think you guys created those. I always found it funny when a ship was flying four or even eight of them.

Oh, I finally started watching the new Doctor Who a few weeks ago. I only mention it here because I just remembered the episode in 1941 London with Rose hanging from the drifting balloon, looking down on a flock of Heinkels on a bombing run.

[Sailor Steve]

September 7, 1939. U-64 finally sees another ship in the distance.

After closing the gap, it turns out to be another American! Don't they know there's a war on?

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a325/SailorSteve/Silent%20Hunter%20Screenshots/SH3Img1-10-2011_193936_796.jpg

After checking their papers the ship is allowed to continue on her way. Almost certainly bound for England, but we have no orders to interdict neutral ships at this point.

[VONHARRIS]

Well, obviously it's from GWX. The balloons are new, the harbor is unchanged. Sorry I mistyped my meaning. It's not the completely redone new version, which is so much better. But I like seeing the old one again just the same.

I have a question here.
What is the completely redone new version of the harbor?
Is there a mod I am missing?
Thank you.

[JazzJR]

Thats what i found on my way back the my base. I had no Torpedos left. :damn::nope::shifty: :stare::o You know these Ships? :DL

I would like to ask something about the community Units mod.
I am trying to import im my game one or two ships from that mod but the game crashes every time.
It is not a memory issue since I added two more ships of the MFM.
Are the MFM and the CU mods incompatable since they both change files in the Library folder?
Thank you.

Are the MFM and the CU mods incompatable since they both change files in the Library folder?

I'm familiar with the first but not the latter, so please don't take this as gospel. That being said, the fact they both add to the library folder is unlikely to be a cause for incompatibility unless they happen to be altering the exact same files. More often than not, various mods add different files to the 'library' and all co-exist quite nicely.

In the case you've described, I would suspect a configuration issue as the likely cause for the CTD's. Again I'm saying this from a distance, but based on my experience this has usually been the culprit when I've backtracked to discover why new units are causing a crash.

The CU doesn't change the same files in the Library folder as MFM but it changes files like gun_radars.dat etc.

Hi VONHARRIS,

Thanks. The last one is a converted "Fishing Trawler" from SH4. Trainer1942 aka Nautilus did this job. I'm not absolutly sure, but you can find this converted ship here: ftp://hartmuthaas.no-ip.org/Volume_2/Sharing/SH3COMMUNITYMODS/TRAINER1942_NAUTILUS42/

Click on the "Fishing_Trawler.rar". But before, remember the "username" and "password" to enter Maik's FTP-server:

Hope that this will help.

[VONHARRIS]

Hi VONHARRIS,

Thanks. The last one is a converted "Fishing Trawler" from SH4. Trainer1942 aka Nautilus did this job. I'm not absolutly sure, but you can find this converted ship here: ftp://hartmuthaas.no-ip.org/Volume_2/Sharing/SH3COMMUNITYMODS/TRAINER1942_NAUTILUS42/

Click on the "Fishing_Trawler.rar". But before, remember the "username" and "password" to enter Maik's FTP-server:
- Maik

Hope that this will help.

Reminded me of the Jervis Bay.

Quite the story that...

A suicidal charge to give the convoy time to scatter... The Captain goes down with his ship... Decorated posthumously... :salute:

Yeah, those were the days when the RN were still the most powerful navy in the world and as befitting an age old British naval tradition....engage the enemy on sight!!

Straying even further from topic, I know, but I just gave the War Ships mod a go last night and those lone ASW Trawlers invariably engage my pocket battleship with their 4"?

You've got to admire that level of bravery... :salute:

Goering was hardly a pilot at all by the time WW2 came around, being too old, too fat, and too addicted. But in WW1 he scored 22 aerial victories, hardly near the top of the list but certainly no slouch.

Well the best one was "Major" Erich Hartmann. He claimed 352 aerial victories and is the highest-scoring fighter ace in the history of aerial warfare. Goering was just talking, i bet they didn't had a fitting plane for him so he had to quit. :O:

[Sailor Steve]

Yes, I'm aware of Hartmann and his record. There were more than 100 German aces during the war with 100 kills or more. My point was that in his prime Goering was a fine pilot, and a good squadron leader.

Do you know how can I turn them in an introscreen?

If you're talking about the 'start campaign' splash screen, (the one with the start button on the bottom right), then you can simply take a blank template and add your own art.

Once done, you'll need to convert and rename the image to startcampain.tga and place it in the 'SH3\data\Menu\Data' folder.

Here's a template you can work from:

Given the tactical situation , no
The destroyer should have called for backup and soon more of his friends would arrive either to sink the Unoot or to pick up survivors.
Moreover the proximity to land increaces the chances of them being rescued.

[Hans Uberman]

I've tried SH5 Water a few times, but it seems unrealistically bright under the surface. Is it that way it is with you guys? Maybe it's because I have M.E.P. going, but I did apply the water afterwards.

[Sailor Steve]

Check out my 'Brunsbuttel' pictures in Post #9700. That's the way it looks for me most of the time. My pictures just above are not as good because it's at an angle in very bright daytime, so there's more glare.

[Hans Uberman]

The water looks the same as your images in post #9700, above the water. It's when I view the sub with the camera underwater where it's an excessively bright blue, where I can see the boat quite a distance.

In any case, it's dark while viewing it underwater now, so I'm good. (Got it working halfway between posting this.) Before it was extremely light-colored baby blue.

[Sailor Steve]

Ah, I see. I used SH3 Commander to make the water so foggy that from the bow of the boat you can barely make out the conning tower. Then again I take some screenshots, but other than that never use the underwater view.

[Fish In The Water]

I've tried SH5 Water a few times, but it seems unrealistically bright under the surface. Is it that way it is with you guys?

I adjust the gamma and turn the clarity down in Commander so I don't really have an issue with it. For me the 'dark blue' surface helps seal the deal. Much better than anything I've tried before. :yep:

[Sailor Steve]

Hans, I apologize. It wasn't until I read Fish quoting you that I realized you said "under the surface" the first time.

Old and blind - that's me. :oops:

[Missing Name]

I have something that will blow you all out of the water!

Okay. Returning home from Narvik, I come across a lone S-class submarine (unfortunately, I didn't record the time). Attack! Two torpedoes, boom. Deck gun and AA gone, leaving me to attack with the deck gun.

2 in game hours go by. After hitting it with an additional 5 torpedoes, 180 rounds of 10.5 cm, 800 rounds of 2cm and 350 rounds of 3.7cm AP, I resort to ramming the damn thing.

http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/MissingName/S1.png

Now note how light it has gotten on my 4th successful ramming (and 700 3.7cm AA rounds).

http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/MissingName/S2.png

Finally, at around 4:00, reinforcements arrive. 4 Stukas come in and swoop in on the target.

http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/MissingName/S3.png

That didn't work. At around 5:10, the Luftwaffle tries again with 16 Stukas.

http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/MissingName/S4.png

http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/MissingName/S5.png

And again at 5:40 with three more.

http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab303/MissingName/S6.png

At this point, the damn thing is making maybe 5 rpm's and the entire boat is black with impacts. How can anyone even be alive on that thing?

I get impatient and crank up the time acceleration. Crash to desktop at around 6:30 - I think another wave of aircraft were inbound. Where can we get one of these boats? :hmmm: I took out the HMS Nelson with "only" four torpedoes earlier in the patrol!

I've got removing the S class from the campaign files on my to-do list. The first time I torpedoed one, (and then proceeded to watch it stay afloat seemingly indefinitely), it was mildly amusing. Trouble is, it wears thin awfully fast.

I'm hoping to get to this soon, so I can wave bye-bye to the little buggers once and for all. :O:

March 1941 West of Rockall Bank - from my current patrol - met an other IXB at sea

Doesn't that feel so cool when you run into another boat out there?! Ok it's just a AI boat, but still it always gets me yelling THOMSEN!!!! myself.:DL

Never seen a type IX though. I only seem to find type VIICs. Did see a 'flak trap turm' boat off Africa one time. That was interesting.
