I watched far too many damaged ships sail away from me whilst I shadowed them with empty torp tubes for my liking.

*sings*

Extra room from side to side
And extra space above
With this Kaleun and his Type IX
There's more of each to love!

:O:

The wind was low the sea state weak
As those above on watch would keep
A steady eye for any prey
To make their Kaleuns perfect day

:haha: Nice songs.

Btw. Is there a lightmap for VIIb, like those by Flakmonkey for VIIc and IIa?

Hi everyone. (first post!) :salute:

Just started a new career with type II and I love the tiny sub.
I'm biased though when it comes to the boat because it's the only submarine I have seen in RL.
Finnish Type II "Vesikko" currently serves as a museum ship in Suomenlinna (open during summertime) and I visited it when I was just a kid. It did not look so small back when I was around 8 years old!

She is the only remaining type II submarine in the world by the way.

Welcome to Subsim! :salute:
I saw a picture spread of that sub on U-boat.net (19 pics). I wish I could afford to go see it in real life. :) http://www.uboat.net/gallery/index.html?gallery=Vesikko

WELCOME ABOARD, arctic! :sunny:

Nice to see someone else who likes the Type II. I just like the older, more primitive hardware. In SH4 it's the 'S' class for me.

Many of us are very familiar with Vesikko, and some members in the past have posted many photographs of her.

Thanks.
Amazing forum you guys have. I was more than supprised to see that game as old as SH3 had such a active forum and loyal community. I'm very glad to join you.

Yeah, it's quite amazing when you think about it in terms of age/longevity http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Kaleuns follow along...everybody.

If you don't know what to do, then its training for you, in a type two, fits like glove and bobs like a dutch wooden shoe.

But when your at sea you will get quite dizzy, bobbing about, just listen to me.......
you will get a bit pissed and throw up your fists when your torpedo missed cause you only have three!

The u boat you want is like a sports car, go for the VII cause its driven by the stars. It can go deep where you can creep, away from the cans that want to blow you apart!

You will be just like Prein, ya know what I mean, in this submarine that's a German piece of art.

In the type IX you should do just fine as long as you don't have to dive they will never take you alive. It can be found by sonar whether near or really far, its just to large like an undersea barge!:haha:
