One of the first "mods" I did (before GW) was to change that key setting.

I mean cmon fire torpedo key right next to one of the most used keys in the game (time compression).

In an earlier post I mentioned I fired off three torps while still in the mooring trying to get the full screen view ( Keypad delete/. key)

TC at 1024 returning port and crashing in some unknown object and destroying sub and crew. Happened more than once.... very dumb. But also leaving port with TC at 8 and sub being destroyed. Found out I kept plotting a course right into Lorient's minefields. :roll: Dumber.

And worst of all... being in a big hurry to install a cool mod only to lose the whole career.... I was at sea. :damn: Dumb was the first time I did that and lost 24 patrols in a very good career. Second time was dumber, but I lost only 14. :damn: :damn:

I sunk the Hospital Ship.... :damn: , when attempt to play the next patrol i have a "die" sentence in the campaign.

I cant remember when i sunk it, may be into a night attack or with a missed homing torp... :hmm:

Why did i go thru the channel . How many times have i been told by BDU not to do it .

You know the funny thing was back when I was playing vanilla I sunk at least 5 ships just by accidently hitting the enter key......:hmm:

So I was a green captain out on my first patrol. Sunny skies, smooth sailing, so I left Bernard in charge. We come up on a lone merchant, and decide to take him out the deck gun. Bernard manuevers alongside: me -> || <- merch and sinks him. The explosion sinks me too.

Yep, done that one too.

Welcome aboard, Kaleun stars.:sunny:

Well, when I first started making vids from SH3 I had assigned the "v" button to fraps. Its safe to say I crashdived alot back then. :cry:

I once tried to take a screenshot but hit 'Shift F11' instead of 'Control F11'. Talk about slow FPS-it turned into a photo album. I had to Alt-Tab out of the game and figure out how to make it stop, then I ended up with about 50 screenshots in my folder, all of them taken 1/10 second apart.:damn: :rotfl:

going throught english channel (a big no-no anyway) and getting attacked by 3 or 4 warships, so instinctively i press crash dive. In about 20 metres of water.

I was rammed by a completely lone C3 in the middle of the sea. On the surface after 10 min of trailing it.... It can happen:rock:

I got greedy last night and went after a convoy in Feb43 :damn: dive plane smashed could only travel in a strait line, those destroyers never had it so easy. I should had settled on the two ships I found but no I had to chase that convoy. The times I have done that.:damn: :damn: :damn:

I keep managing to hit the seawalls that stick out into the Kiel canal.

I know where they are, and each time I get near there I manage to be afk just long enough for the boat to slam into it bow first and then slide down the wall.

First time I played SH3 I messed with the rudder controls and proceeded to christen U-50 by grinding her hull down the side of the Kiel docks as nurses dropped flowers and the band played. :arrgh!:

Accidently sank a blockade runner in port via the badly placed enter button, I eventually pried the numpad enter off of the keyboard.

When I first started playing SH3 I would get incredibly high tonnage values (80k a patrol) because I abide by the doctrine of 'unrestricted submarine warfare' and sink everything that I could find (except axis boats) departing/returning from Kiel.

More recently:

I hit the damn seawall in the Kiel Canal again, this time at night...:damn:

Collided with a returning U-boat leaving Wilemshaven in a storm at night...

Almost rammed by a cargo vessel in a convoy because I was too concerned with getting a dead set 1 shot kill with the forward tubes that I forgot I was WITHIN the convoy and that there was a ship line behind me.

Crash Dived to avoid enemy planes leaving Lorient in a 1944 campaign....in 16 meter water.

When I started playing I had no idea lock-on inputed everything in the TDC, so I made random guesses and shot my torpedos at a random spot in the path of a ship and hoped it hit.

I felt like the coolest person on earth whenever I sank something :cool:

I'm also very clumsy when it comes to hotkeys, so I always end up shooting torpedos at nothing and stuff like that.

Edit the basic.cfg file. The hot-key for torpedo-firing is in there someplace.

Oh my God, Bernard is in the Romanian Dev Team!

So I was entering that infamous "mini-English Channel" between England/Scottland and Ireland, and one of those cute little Armed Trawlers spotted me. I was outrunning it easy as Heck, and pretty soon lost it in the fog (it was also dark and rainy and altogether quite terrible vision-wise).

Some time later I spotted a medium-sized merchant. I decided to attack it, and shortly after I spot a search-light behind me. The merchant is partially in-between me and it, so I can't identify the new ship with the UZO, but I assume it's my friend the armed ex-fishing boat again. I decide to give up the attack on the merchant - the water's shallow and a trawler's just not worth scrapping with. I go to flank speed away from there and switch to the map, setting time compression to maximum.

Shortly after I'm dead from artillery fire, ramming, and depth-charges. It was not my friend the trawler in the fog. It was ein Verdamte Zestörer:damn:!

Remember, kids: Destroyers and trawlers may have the same search-lights, but one's significantly faster and stronger than the other:lol:!

Did the classic "Crash-Dive-in-shallow-water" today.

After that Bernard was standing next to me when chasing 2 merchants. When I spotted the US flag Bernard whispered in my ear that they were enemies so I fired some torps. After seeing 2 green "ship-sunk" marks on my map I compared the current date and the date when America entered the war :oops:

Who says Blackout dicipline isn't required?

I was motoring to close in on a small canvoy, still about 6km away.

Bright clear calm night, lookout calling contacts as they close. Me clicking "Maintain orders".... We've got time for a quick smoke, right?

One of those contacts was a verry annoyed V&W.

From astern. At 36 kts.

At least we went quick, and didn't have to sink 1000m.

Boy, they must have been ardent non smokers:lol:

It was about midnight (real and game time) June 1940 and I have a C2 crippled and listing, but it refuses to sink. So I bring the boat in close on her starboard side and open up with the deck gun.

Suddenly my watchman starts yelling that we're under attack. I take a quick look around, but there isn't anything in the vicinity, so I figure that it's lack of caffiene on his part and content myself with blasting away at this stubborn C2.

The watchmen yells out again that we're under attack, and I continue to ignore him. "Must be a bug", says I. He continues to yell, and I ignore him. Thought I heard a big splash behind us, but figured that was just an errant wave.

Finally the C2 settles by the stern to reveal a destroyer bearing down straight at us, searchlight blinding. I know that I'm dead to rights, so I order the deck gun crew to fire. They take out the destroyer's searchlight on the first round and the forward battery on the second. I start to think "Hey, I just might pull this off and surive!" when I realized that my boat wasn't moving and that despite not having any forward armament, a destroyer bearing down at 34 knots can still be dangerous. :oops:

Rammed. Sunk. Kaput.
