Iceberg?

[Flying Dutchman]

Hi all!

I've tried to find myself an Iceberg and set course for the far far North...
I was washing my dishes and suddenly I hear all kind of damage and ran to my computer to find the this 'thing' outside my sub. Hull-integrety was down to 10% (cruising at 6 kts) and damage all over the forward part of my sub.

Dowly, all I get from your post is a broken picture icon. :-j

[Umfuld]

To all U-Boat commanders / Atlantic theater: There has been a rash of ‘dish washing mishaps’ to boats of late. From now on, all subs will be fitted with Maytag dishwashers and you are forbidden to wash dish by hand.

That's his pic. Looks like one to me, ya.

That´s one of those big ice bergs.

[Nippelspanner]

nope, that so eisberg... it looks like...well...like land. because the SH3 icebergs all look like a "typical" iceberg...high, white and like on dowlys pic.

the one on the first pic is grey (not because of night) has a "surface" and is formed like the norhthpole in SH3...

icebergs dont have a surface...

[Type941]

Oi, what the heck is that????? Can you show properly on the map where you found it? I'd like to go there and check it out. This thing looks wicked. :88) :up: :cool:

[Dowly]

Maybe it´s the thing from the 2001: Space Odyssey :-j

[U-Dog]

Looks kinda like Churchill's iceberg aircraft carrier no?

[CCIP]

It's the northern ice cap, beyond which you can't get :hmm:

Dowly, that pic looks so bright and colorful... what mods are you using?

[Seminole]

This is the second incident I ran across today detailing careless commanders whose boats have been damage while washing dishes.

BDU must issue an immediate directive dealing with this issue :yep:

[Khayman]

I always do my dishes when submerged at 50m or more. Surface washing can lead to breakages unless in very calm seas.

SH3 Gen said there was a possible iceberg near where I was patrolling. When I reached the area it was supposed to be in there was heavy fog, heavy rain and high winds. I didn't think it wise to keep looking in case I ran into the damn thing. Do the crew give a warning?

[Dowly]

Do the crew give a warning?

Nope, the crew is from Titanic. :up:

This is getting spooky...

And why "Perkele" in your sig? You guys made a *monster* :hulk: hit in the Eurovision Grad Prox!

But, again - you didn't win icehockey VM...So "Perkele" may be all right :)

This all assuming "Perkele" means what I think it means...

Why the heck that water color is so wierd on those pic's? :doh:

[GreyOctober]

GAH! Me thinks its the "Das Boot water mod". Really Steed dont ye think thats a tad greenish mate? :lol:

[Dowly]

The first one is in bad quality with maybe automatic color correction or brightness.

[STEED]

Why the heck that water color is so wierd on those pic's? :doh:

I am running the Atlantic water mod makes it look more real. :up:

Yes the first one was dark so I auto corrected the brightness.

The second one untouched, as for the water see previous post.

i dont talk about UNDER water, but the surface of the mod u use is...a bit glowing, dont you think?

[STEED]

.a bit glowing, dont you think?

Not really, here a day shot.

[GreyOctober]

OMG its the NippleSpanker again!! :rotfl: Dude you gotta change your nickname to nipplespanker! :P

About "ze water". I think the greenish tint is more appropriate for shallow regions (coastal, reef whatnot) but for deeper one the dark blue one i think is more realistic. My 2 eurocents.

[STEED]

Hey you got give these Mods ago and any way I don't have it anymore those screen shots were old ones. :P :-j

[Nippelspanner]

ok this looks cool! (at day)...
it wasnt an attack, use what you want... i was just shocked by the glowing water ;)

[GreyOctober]

Getting deeper into the problem in question: water color

http://science.hq.nasa.gov/oceans/living/color.html (god bless google)

It seems that the greenish tit is mostlly given off by the phytoplancton but there are usually patches of green. So im right :up:

edit: no intention to start a polemic..im just curious myself because

[STEED]

Hey don't panic I'm not offended I got a good laugh from every one. Yea the North Pole one was very dark so I corrected it and yes the sea did look like you needed to slap on the sun glasses. :cool: :rotfl:

[Uber Gruber]

Can I just point out that there are NO TREES on Antarctica...none, nada, zilch, not a sausage. There just aint any....not even in the summer! :nope:

[STEED]

Well I did not plant them there. :rotfl:

I know. I didnt know that they can be that big! The ice goes waaaaay deeper than what is shown on the pics. :o

[kiwi_2005]

It aint a iceburg its a alien mothership from the abliss!!! :D

[deadactionman]

An iceberg that big should have propellers put on it and used as a battering ram. :rock:

[Type941]

now that's awesome!

howdyou make it look all old like that in Photoshop?

[Dowly]

howdyou make it look all old like that in Photoshop?

There´s lots of ways doing it.

For this pic, I first played around with colors and the brightness.

Then I added the lighting effect filter, to darker the bottom.

Then applied the.. ummm... what is it, I cant remember!! The '---- glow' under the Distort in filters!

But the result on this was pure luck, that I have to say. :rotfl:

Edit:

Oh and dont forget the motion blur. Just a little, 2-3 will do. :up:

Edit2:

One more thing! :rotfl:

Just a OT tip for you photo editors out there.

If you want to have a glow on your image, duplicate the image and add gaussian blur to the duplicated one. So that the image is blurred. Then change the images blending option. I cant remember which one it is. Try the different ones. :up: Off to work now.

[tbarak]

:lol: :rotfl:

A think Albiss is the x-rated one, Abyss is the one with the alien mother ship.

[svenks]

Can I just point out that there are NO TREES on Antarctica

...and can I point out that this ARCTICA, not ANTARCTICA :know:

Still no trees though...and no land either. Could it be...Atlantis??? :o

Typically 90% of the icebergs volume is under water! Hence the term "Tip of the Iceberg"

[STEED]

I knew that. :up:

Hi, Ive been away for a few days so only read the reactions tonight.
Here is the mapscreenshot of the location where I found the object.

[sid-dt]

Anyway ... Back to the Burgs ... Does anyone know the location/s of any iceburgs?
or are they a randomly created (geographically speaking) phenomina in SH3? or could
even just recommend a good area to search in? Its just that after seeing all these
great shots plus reading online (somewhere?) about some crazy guy who suggested
taking the risk of crush depth and trying to "hide" underneath one (tho he did state
that they are B I G) - I want to see :o one of these suckers up close & personal!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, TIA.

They are randomly placed and to make it harder to find one, they are slowly moving. Oh and there´s maybe 2 or 3 icebergs in the whole sea. Good luck.:up::D

[Safe-Keeper]

On second thought, yes, I actually have seen an iceberg in Silent Hunter III. And on my last patrol, I saw a UFO abducting mermaids:-?.

[Rilder]

I wonder if an alien saw a u-boat he'd make a space ship that looks like one :hmm:
