Einbäume

[ParaB]

After I installed the NYGM mod and a couple of other addons I decided to start a new campaign, this time in one of the "Einbäume", the type II. After spending quite a long time in the type XIs during my last campaign the little boats definitely feel a bit strange at first. But I'm slowly starting to love those brave little boats. Three patrols so far, 12,000ts sunk, no casualties and most importantly:I'm having a ton of fun again with SH3. A big thanks to all the modders who've done so much to improve this game!

:yep:

Here are some shots from my last patrol, hope you like them:

You edited those shots right? They look really great, so real :D

[ParaB]

Thanks. Yes, I played a bit with them in PaintShopPro. Tried to get that "WW2 colour photo"-feeling. Saturated, high-contrast grainy photos. :yep:

[CCIP]

I love those little bastards :up:

I also enjoy the IIs, but they are easier to evade destroyers with since they are a smaller pnging target.

There is no doubt SH3 is a difficult and different game all togather with the type IIs.

I have yet to get a type IX I am going out of my mind trying to get one now, currently in a type VII w/ 2nd Ft

My favorite boat. :up: Had my first successful career in the IIA: U-14. Sept 1 1939 to Feb 21, 1940

I was able to sink >15000GRT in 6 patrols. 1 C class destroyer also. Since I have SH3 commander, I was retired before my 7th patrol. :nope:

Only problem with the IIA is the lack of range: could only patrol for a few days before the fuel ran out...but torpedoes (only 5)would run out well before that... :lol:

That first screenshot looks like a photograph. Amazing.

Makes me want to try my hand at it.

Dimitrius, unfortunately I only have one of the original screenshots left, I deleted the other ones by mistake. Anyway, here is the large version of the one I still had:

BTW, this is U-2, with Cuxhaven in the distance, October 11th 1939.

The new version (2.5) modifies this, so it's patrols x days at sea. A type II captain has a lot better chance at more patrols.

Also, if you're unhappy with the retirement you can always use the 'unretire' option, which resets the retirement counter.

I thought the type II had no reflections ? Is that just a feature of my vid card ? I would play an entire career in a II if they didn't look so unnatural to me...

[Sailor Steve]

Look in the mods section. The reflections fix for II and XXI have been out for several months.

[U-Bones]

Danke. I am just back to game after about a year away and missed those nuggets !

Yes Steve. But it was OK. I was looking to move to a larger boat :up:
