1945 is a great year for me and it just gets better. I got away with these raids as the Japanese went in to some sort of panic.

The lesson of the day don't get clever and sneak back in to the same port you hit a month earlier. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h254/RS42/B3-1.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h254/RS42/B2-1.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h254/RS42/B1-1.jpg |
Very very devious . To paint the picture , it was at night and a rain squall had started . I was on the surface and couldnt even see the watch officer on deck because the visibility was so bad . My radar operator had previously picked up 2 merchants (frequency set to 8000) and i got into position when the rain squall started . All of a sudden i get a report from the radar operator of another ship.

Resser I set your forth pic as my desktop. Great pic, I'm consistently amazed at how stunning the visuals in this game can be with the right hardware. Sadly I'm unable to play with the setting up much below minimum but thanks to everyone here I can still see some of the stellar images. :up:

Well here I go again on my second career in my little old S-Class.

Is the heading of this new ship different? If so . . . in the rain squall . . . will you be able to engage the ship? For as posted in my original thread in this posting . . . during really dark rain squalls . . . there's a possibility that visual range maybe reduce to one or tow boat lengths.

Although I have sunk more important vessels in one day, namely a Hiryu class CV south of Davao . . . this has to be one of the highest single day ship totals that I have sank ever.
---- OK It's 0300 the next day at the shoal located near Long 147 E Lat 7 20' N . . . time for some R&R http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...sexy_party.gif |

So I'm on my way to the Caroline Islands, 60 ft down, and on TC. I'm in the middle of the Pacific so i guess I'm safe, right? WRONG. Bam-slam-wham-boing-bong-clunk-scrape-screech WE HAVE FLOODING, SIR! MEDIIIC! Sub sunk.
FTW???? Bungo Pete out here, DC-ing me? I load my save (made 5 minutes earlier), and I go slowly to the approximate position where I sank, at PD and keeping the same heading. All i see on the map is this: http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/9876/wtf0uk5.jpg Hmmm... what's that spec, at my 10 o'clock? Let's zoom in: http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/893/wtf1oh7.jpg Okay, aside from the fact that this is proof that we evolved from the primordial soup and that evolution is obviously still going on, it seems I might have hit a sand bank or reef. So I go to the esxternal cam as I'm passing right over it, and I see this HUUUGE mountain ridge smack dab in the middle of the Pacific: http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/669/wtf2fn7.jpg http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/4915/wtf3jx5.jpg Note that you CAN pass it safely at PD at no more than SLOW, otherwise you WILL scrape or hit the top of the mountain as the sub bobs up and down at higher speeds. This was at PD and FULL speed: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5323/wtf4ty8.jpg I saved right after this scrape, and looked in the ActivePlayerUnits.upc file. The damage was Damage=0.042255 The mountains are not continuous, though, but you have to zoom in real close to see where you can pass safely while submerged. These gaps are clear all the way down, so you can sink freely and not hit anything on the way :lol: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7301/wtf5bk9.jpg So just mind where you run silent, run deep, mates! Edit: hmmm, so not only suck at sinking merchants, but at posting screens, too... don't know why my pics don't show up here. Edit2: sorted that out. Hey, how come my pics suck vs. everyone else's? |
