British Demolishion Derby!

Finally - after 18 months!

Late November 1943 - 23rd patrol in my third career - in my type VIIC hunting Murmansk convoys well north of Trondheim. After several days of seeing nothing at all, I decided on a lark to pop up to the bridge one afternoon and scan the horizon with my binoculars, when I spotted a dark shape at long range off my port quarter. Altering course to investigate, I finally saw one - - ICEBERG, RIGHT AHEAD!

what grid?!?!?!?!?

You are kidding, right?

panthercules you are a very lucky guy the only iceburgs i have ever seen have in MP games. I though they were the lord lucan of SH3 when i comes to career mode.

What a mess...

Wow that is a great pic sergbuto:yep: :up:
I cant wait to get back to sea to take some more pics:arrgh!:

Murmansk next it is! I can't belive you've seen an iceberg! That's so amazing!!!


[edit]

Mobygrape, do you mean that you met that taskforce outside China?:o:o:o

Wow, loaded up GW with the Spy Sat mod. It really is alot out there:

Spy sat mod never heard of that one Stabiz how does that work?

Does it show all the shipping routes on the map? I'll keep that picture, thank you:up:

Even if it doesn't, then it's still valueable since you can see where the convoys probably go every time.

It basically show you where the enemy is, so you can cheat and go kill them. :D I`ve never tried it before, but I`m guessing I will only use it for making vids, since playing with this gods eye mod probably will get boring. The picture updates every few seconds, by the way, but to my shock its not showing everything.

I was surfing along towards the shipping lanes when a task force (!) came out of nowhere. Have anyone else met a task force in grid BF?! I was talking on the phone and smoking a cigarette when all hell broke loose. I now have ashes everywhere. Oh, and I`m dead.

Edit: You can find it in the general section on UBRS. Its called Spy Sat (1.4b ready)

Yeah - when I scanned back through this thread to see other screenshots of icebergs, it did seem like folks had only seen icebergs in MP games and not in careers. But I can now attest that indeed at least one exists in career mode (still running my tweaked version of GW1.0, including UC for GW by Rubini, in case that matters).

There are no grids marked this far north on the map. I am about 950km NNW of Narvik (bearing about 325 degrees from Narvik), but this one seems to be drifting slowly with the current or something so no telling where it might be on another date.

BTW - this iceberg did not register as anything that the watch officer sights/spots, so apparently you have to spot them yourself, so navigating these waters could be a little dangerous. I 'm going to try cruising past it at high TC to see if it will drop you out of TC so you won't run into one of these.

NEWSFLASH - be careful out there - this thing didn't seem to register as land either - it let me crash right into it at TC = 256 and killed my sub - never dropped down to my "near land" TC setting (or at least, not in time).
