Tonnage record .
:) Hi everyone :)
I ' m in April - may 1943 , in my IXD/2 . BDU want me down to grid area " EK " , but I change my mind , and headed up to Murmansk . did I regret it :o NOOOOO !!!!!!!:woot::D It is my best patrol ever in SH3 + GWX 2.1/3.0 GOLD + SH3Cmndr3.2 + JSGME:yawn: Believe it or not I sunk over 122000 tons :o:o the first ship I run into was " HMS " Aquitania , and after that full speed ahead up to Murmansk . Ok , so the question is this : Do I have the tonnage record or what ?? Thanks:salute: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/964...hottonnage.jpg |
Can't touch that. I think my highest was ~44k.

However, nobody can answer your question? How do you play the game? Example: I use OLC "Gold" MkII, if you try this GUI mod you cannot use the deck gun as in SH3 with GWX. You need an experienced crew to hit targets (only close ones) and it is impossible (in my case) to destroy over 122000 tonnage. I am happy if my patrol ends with 35000 tons. Higher is in my case almost impossible. :o Maybe in the future ... because I never reached 1943. I always die in 1942. Good hunting skipper! :arrgh!: |
Thats nothing. I once got 4,5 trillion tonns when I torpedoed the british isles :DL
And congratz on the 122k :salute: |

I once sank 10 trillion tons....just with the deck gun :smug: http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/9501/liarrv1ed9.gif |
10 trillion? What he's not telling you is that they were the remnants of my round the world sinking tour of '98. I remember the day I took-out the Forrestal by lugging tins of bully-beef at it (we'd run out of torps months before) while Bernard kept the defences confused with his impromptu mooning exhibition. The flak crew had to work overtime of course, but being out of ammo, they were forced to use spit wads powered with a feed from the O2 cylinders. U.S. govt. hushed it all up, though Fox News were allowed to blame the "mysterious disapperance" of the carrier on the Democrats. After that, removing the rest of the world's fleets was comparatively easy. One day I'll get it all written down, but that'll be dependant on the nice nurses letting me have a sharp pencil, I'm only allowed crayons atm.

No You don't have the Tonnage record.. sorry...
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c9...kEndPatrol.jpg March of 44 as you can plainly see. 456K... I would have broke a million..but alas SH3 would not allow it. SH3+GWX3.0+SH3 Commander3.2 74% realism.. Have external view, map contacts, weapon officer asst and manual targeting is OFF. And I will never tell my hunting grounds.. AND NO HARBOR RAIDING AT ALL! Open water only. I can only say ...Be More Aggressive Herr Kaluen!! :arrgh!: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c9...k/GWX3457k.jpg Actually had eels left but had to return to base due to CTD and game instability. |
Those large passenger liners get everywhere.
|
pah thats nothing, i once sank the entire combined british, indian, australian, canadian american and french merchant fleets and navy fleets from a single 2cm flak gun round.
na, GWX i'm happy to break 10k! seriously well done :yeah: |

I once commanded the Death Star. 6 whole planets, worth 143 thousand million trillion gazillion megasupercalifragilisticexpialidocious tons! So there! In SH3, I think my max was eight ships totalling about 25,000 tons.:oops: And that was exceptional. I usually get two or three for a total of 8-12 thousand. |

Pthth..do that when you're not in geosynchronous orbit around the planets and don't have to worry about relative motion then I would be impressed :) Oh and no external view! |
just scored my highest tonnage in GWX so far, 62523grt on only 4 ships!
one was a BB :rock::rock::rock: |
GWX3.0 GOLD 100% realism setting. 161169GRT. All ordinary cargo ships. Gotta admit, this is 1940. Had a previous GWX2.1 patrol @ 250,000 GRT (during Bismark operation), but that was with foresight of where I can find big game to hunt. (which is kinda cheating, I am getting out of that business). Had a patrol 2 careers ago at around 180,000 during second happy time when I met and sunk Aquitania sailing alone (but very fast) right in the middle of the Atlantic, and numerous fat tankers on their way from Caracas to New York.

This got to be a record, 130,000 a day!
Dig through a previous career. Captain Georg Jahn was hunting west of Gibraltar and hit 1 task force, 2 convoys and a lone cruiser in the same day... GWX3.0 Gold. 100%. Unfortunately, Captain Jahn's aggressive ways got him killed on August 1941. See his death card on http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ht=jahn&page=6
