U-571 is right up there with Pearl Harbor as the kind of movies that make fans of the genre cringe. The true story is always better, but they have to make it for the average moviegoer.:dead:

This movie is one of the typical "U.S. - we´re bigger, the best, better than the rest - style" which really annoys me. Nothing against Americans in general but the way hollywood change historical facts make me sick. In combination with all that wrong technical things...
I know it´s only a movie, i don´t have to watch it :D

Maybe it´s the way things go. More and more younger germans believe that Hitler was from Switzerland and he builds the Autobahn... :damn:

However... the pics are great. I need some fresh loading screens :D

Pearl harbour is by FAR the worst movie I've ever seen. I was delighted when bombs start dropping as it was about to finish. Unfortunately we had to endure another hour or so and the Doolitrle Raid :damn: :down:

A couple of good sights for U-571 fans ;)

I see, thanks for sharing your anger at the movie! :arrgh!: I didn't know the klaxon blasts thing, and as a bilge rat IRL I'll probably never be able to spot some absurd in such films (I hardly remember which is port and which is starboard; my last time on a ship was 10 years ago).

But I'll disagree with you at 1 point: U-571 is still much better than the "Pearl Harbour" one, that I'll never try to see again. :D

These good words need to be spoken for HELMUT. He has made this work and has asked me to place it here.

(I´m waited this moment very loong and now here it is:)

I´m the next guy in row who hate this movie, i also did not notice klaxon event(not informed about sub procedures too well) but here is my observation report whitch i add on Sailor Steve list: Look now....americans are fighting with germans on U-571 after few moments they are being attacked from another submarine, now here is the catch....americans maked up to dive, overstepp the language barrier on german instruments(not to include new soroundings and different placings of instruments, etc..) AND THEN they are in heroic manner sucseeded to sunk attacking german submarine(NOTE this: german sub was submerged and on good firing position, ready for battle, crew on Jerry sub was obviously expirienced submariners, but they did not sucseeded to outfight comfused(high close combat fatiqued) US submariners in surfaced (and damaged) U-571).

Another Hollywood unrealistic(americans are the greatest - i dont have anything against americans, actualy i have good friends on this forum who is from US, but movie industry is something else) RAMBO style movie.

About Pearl Harbour i even dont wana talk.....only this: expensive war soap!

Did you know that Das Boot firstly is planed to get produced in Hollywood and main actor needed to be Harrison Ford(or sombody similar, i don´t remeber..sorry).
You have this info on U-boat.net..just search related issues about Das Boot.
Luckily this is not realised, and movie are produced by germans.
Can you imaginate this movie how he will look.....i´m only certain that actors will have tons of gel in his hair.:rotfl: :rotfl:

Help needed
 
I am having some difficulty using these loading screens. I can ofcourse name any of the TGAs to intro.tga and use them one at a time as intro screens.

But is it posible to use all intro1.tga-intro7.tga screens at the same time so that they get used randomly?

I inserted all of them in Menu\loading folder through JGME, but it didnt work. So any ideas??

Thanks.

Sailor Steve 03-04-09 01:45 PM

1) Get SH3 Commander

2) Follow the link in my sig to get my Random Load Screens Mod

3) Follow the simple instructions (I'll be glad to help if there's any trouble)

You will then have 100 different loading screens come up at random, a different one every time you load the game, including those ones from U-571!

@ Sailor Steve

Thank you for the reply. The Loading screens mod is 135Mb and I have a slow connection. So before downloading, i'd like to know if using SH3 Commander is the only option, because I don't like to use SH3 Commander to launch my games (like to avoid the random changes it makes) and only use it for Nightclub and updating personal files.

Thanks for your time.

Sailor Steve 03-04-09 02:44 PM

If you're using Commander you can do it yourself with just those screens. Inside the 'Random' folder make seven folders, and number them 1-7. Inside each folder you'll need another folder, each one labelled with the same date: 1-9-39. There should be at least one already there so you can see what it should look like. Place one of your Screen files in each folder. Make sure you take the numbers off of the individual files, as it won't work if they're numbered.

The bad news is you will have to load through Commander to make it work.

YES I CAN, I SAW HIM IN K-19: The widowmaker :rotfl:

Though I'm still undecided about who looked more ridiculous, him as a russian or Tom Cruise as a german in his last movie :damn:

The only thing I quite liked in PH were the special effects of the dogfights by Ben Affleck in a Spitfire over the channel. The BF 109 & the Spits looked gorgeous, and the special effects were nice.

What almost killed me was seeing the scene of the japanese attack, as there was a moment you could clearly identify many of the ships anchored at PH as .... modern Oliver Hazard Perry frigates :damn: Obviously a shot of current day PH, reworked in some areas to put the japanese airplanes over it....geeeez couldn't they have retouched a bit the frigates??? With some work they would have looked like WW2 Light cruisers, why the hell spend so much money in other stupid things and then leave the modern frigates there??

Oh, OK it's just Hollywood....
