Actually that 90 degree attack works perfectly for convoys allowing you to hit the entire first row of ships at the same time. Simply set your scope on the 000 gyroangle and fire as the ships pass it. Due to the angles you'll fire at the farthest ships first but all the torpedoes will hit at the same time.

You can see this concept at work in this image.

Episode 9 up on Youtube!

Woo, 52 minutes! Meaty! Gonna let the 1080p load up for a while to prevent buffering. I do agree with the comments though, 30 minutes or so is usually good for both you and your viewers.

I think one day you should totally give sauenkalle his wish and release 30 one minute long episodes. But keep a full length intro recap so each episode is like 8 seconds long. It'll be glorious!

Well, 20% loaded. Gonna get a drink and come back to watch.

Congrats on getting to number 7 of the Top 10 U-boat Aces of all time, in one patrol. :) You've just edged out Kapitän zur See Karl-Friedrich Merten beating his 5 patrols, 27 ships sunk for 170,151 GRT in U-68.

Wow. That's awesome. I should have a statue built in my honor. And then place it on my conning tower. Forget painted emblems. I want a statue of me guiding the way. Let the Allies take a look at that!

In other news, episodes 10 and 11 are now up on Youtube!

Episode 10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjvId6X-fCs

Episode 11: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9waUtZI-_Rk

Quote from ep 10 "I am going to save when close to ships. lets see what happens"

Ep 11 = ctd:hmmm: not only close to ships but land and a base.:D



Could the ctds be because the ships were respawning before the one before went down:hmmm:

Anyway - there was some thinking that the scapa ctd (many has had this) was due to OHII - perhaps this could be fixed by clearing out some of those spawn nodes:hmmm:

MODs
 

I cant help but have to say that i cant find half of these mods :/
maybe they're not there anymore, just wondering :)

Hi Michael,

Try to google them, just add the word Subsim after the mod's name.
You should get some hits.
:up:

Episode 12 uploaded.

And with the disaster at Scapa Flow, I think I'm going to take a break for a little bit again. :)

I've also decided to stop playing for now due to the CTDs. The game is amazing, in my opinion, and has the potential to become the best in the SH series, but right now I'm too afraid of random and unpredictable CTDs to try spending hours on a patrol that might just crash as I'm plotting a target's course or getting ready to fire. I'll keep checking in just to see what the modders are up to, since right now they're the only ones who can take the game to a whole new level, what with TDW's relentless work.:salute:

thats awsome
 

you are good.how about the crew management

I understand your frustration but I hate to see you leave SH5. You should try and explore some alternatives or something, maybe just restart the campaign without the mega mod.

Oh lord, that would be a horrible choice. :) As gallant as attacks on Scapa Flow might be, they aren't what the u-boat service was designed for. Also SH5 has issues with CTDs in harbors, so they are really best left alone.

Not to drag this out but......your "boat bearing" is the definition of Relative bearing. Aka Bearings Relative to the bow of your Boat. Contacts are always called out (and plotted) on relative bearings. Hope that makes sense.

I've went to Scapa Flow and sunk the HMS Hood no CTDs.

@ JKEnehaug! Welcome to SubSim, :arrgh!:
