Good work Jim!
 

:salute:

Tell you what lad, wind your neck in and stop making out you're something you clearly ain't. You're not impressing anyone - in fact, you're coming across as very sad. People here will happily take you for who you are, not who you pretend to be.

"Tell you what lad, wind your neck in and stop making out you're something you clearly ain't. You're not impressing anyone - in fact, you're coming across as very sad. People here will happily take you for who you are, not who you pretend to be."

I'm not even know how to react to that... I'm not here to impress people... may you explain further on the "who you pretend to be" bit?

Ok well i dont even know your deal, but you do come across as a "sad" person.. Your last paragraph explaining about someone that died to prove a point about a game?? No one does that, and if it is true it sounds really disrespectful.. I should know...

I seriously doubt anyone who actually experienced such would use it as an example on a forum, and anyone who has, would certainly have had such a life that they would have other more relevant and believable events to recall.
This forum is full of good people, mostly adults, unlike many other forums, and people here act accordingly.
You have tied yourself up in a matter of a month and have shown no evidence to prove otherwise.
Even if you cant take a screenshot through the game, there are many other methods that could be used to do so, and someone as 'experienced' as you claim to be would certainly know at least one of them.

To stay relevant to the thread:
As mentioned by others, turning off the UI makes a screenshot look 'nicer' and may have more undisturbed content (IE no clutter on it).
I often take multiple screenshots of a single event and often will get what I consider a presentable one out of it.
I wouldn't know how to describe how to make something look dramatic; often when i'm getting screenshots with the camera I'll just see something that makes me thing 'woah! that looks cool!' so i'll get a dozen screenshots of it from different places.

Some examples:

@ Jimbuna: Yes, I have seen warships turtle. I love seeing the keel of a capsized BB or CV and have done it a few times myself. The varied sinkings of this game add so much interest to the game.

@ Timmy: Of course! Multiple angles can add great drama to an otherwise mundane pic. I like to freeze the action and then manipulate the free view until I get just the right perspective. It helps if you have had photographic experience.

OK!! Question time!! This last picture right here.. Is it my eyes, or does it look like there is serious damage to that ship.. I have enhanced damage fir a mod enabled and NOTHING looks like that.. I am big into damage modeling (one of my biggest gripes with SH series)

WHATS GOING ON HERE?!? :) THANKS

"Ok well i dont even know your deal, but you do come across as a "sad" person.. Your last paragraph explaining about someone that died to prove a point about a game?? No one does that, and if it is true it sounds really disrespectful.. I should know..."

Let me start off by saying I'm sorry for your loss and I will not ask into it. I am a sad person, I've seen too many people die in-vain to care, after I came home I lost a lot of good friends because I'd changed too much to add to that I can't walk properly due to the hit I took in my leg and last night I found out my dads going to die(liver failure), there's why I'm such a sad person. Not to prove a point about the game, I just like reminding people that some of us are in hell right now and some aren't going to get out so you can drive your car to work in the morning, I've had a bad life and I'm not even 25 yet, my friend never even made 20.

I've really had a great time here but I need to recover.

What is going on here, you could always ask,
 

in the last picture you're referring to so, was this former DD,an angry wasp that got me to send, 3 eels,and all met in a way that this resulted in a large explosions and the damage was there after, (photo taken after I went up to the surface) it may seem to look a little strange but she was pretty hard pressed in the forward part,and this was the price she had to pay :yep:

This was good, I had fun reading it.

"This forum is full of good people, mostly adults, unlike many other forums, and people here act accordingly."
It is, thats true and the fact you sent this message telling me I'm a lier and a fake makes you a very good person.

"I seriously doubt anyone who actually experienced such would use it as an example on a forum"
...Go join the army go fight for two years come back and then give me your answer...


"Even if you cant take a screenshot through the game, there are many other methods that could be used to do so, and someone as 'experienced' as you claim to be would certainly know at least one of them."
Just because I know what I'm doing does not mean I know everything


"relevant and believable events to recall"
It is relevant its to tell you this is a game, ok, bugs, glitches and crashes
that allow you to do impossible thing happen but not in real life.

Believable,ha, go check the news see if any more kids have died out there because theres no try again button for them.

Also its a example to people like you who don't care that there are people out there dieing and I think you own those boys out there a little goddamn respect.

By the way while I was reading your message couldn't help feeling as if you were pulling rank there.

I'm going to end this now its gone on for too long.
If any one posts any more "hate" I will not won't reply because this is not good for the forum.

So I hope that we can all calm down now.

You'd call bull**** on something as outrageous as this too, I wasn't the only one to do so, no question about it.
Go join the army and fight? Sorry, Marines for me.
However, if you're trying to boast some traumatic experiences, I have been a firefighter for 4 years and an EMT for 2. I'm 20. I've saved more than my fair share of lives and lost more than my fair share of friends, one of which died on tour in Afghanistan, and another of which is crippled from the same.
Part of basic communication is using relevant examples, not pulling something from way out there in order to be dramatic.
What part of anything that I wrote says I don't appreciate our military? That is exactly what I'm talking about when I mean 'use relevant examples', how can it be relevant when the person using it is completely ignorant of it? If you'd like to 'prove' that too, then go ahead, tell me what you know about me.
I don't pull rank, I've only been here a few months, most have been here years, doing so would be like you having a fng tell you that you need to get some headlight fluid.

fng :har: thats good.

"What part of anything that I wrote says I don't appreciate our military?"
It was just the way you said "relevant and believable events" as if someone getting killed out there is rare.

"I have been a firefighter for 4 years and an EMT for 2"
:DL Then I have to I'm sorry,my girlfriend was trapped in a burning building
they got her out so I guess I owe firefighters a bit respect. An EMT I know what they are but never seen one or met one.

"I don't pull rank, I've only been here a few months"
It was just how you said it, I'm over in London helping a friend so I feel a bit out classed here.

"However, if you're trying to boast some traumatic experiences"
No, really what happened was I got snapped at and I snapped back and here we are now.

"then go ahead, tell me what you know about me"
I know a bit about you,
You've been a Firefighter and an EMT
Your smart and have a good sense of humor
Most likely live in the USA, 20 years old
Guess that you may not be married or have kids
You've only been on here for a few months
Lost a lot of friends to your job
and to be honest with you your not a bad guy
:salute:
