Had to tell someone.
 

Hey guys (and Avon Lady)

As a married man I have to tell you all that it is hard to find the time to game for long periods. Commitments, kids, work, fixer-ups, traffic, honey-do's....

I finally found a day to actually just take off work and sim.

I play with the U-Boat realism mod so these figures won't reflect SHIII for casual players with low realism modes.

I do my own TMAs and attacks without any aid from the AI. I'm not as INCREDIBLE as a lot of the prodigies on this site but I can definitely hold my own.

Found an eastward-bound convoy with 4 escorts (1943 era, no snorkles but decoys). Daytime encounter after sonar tracking at long range.

Sank the following:

small merchant 2422 tons
small merchant 2423 tons
C3 cargo 7902 tons
C2 cargo 6447 tons
T2 tanker 10,821 tons (woah!)
C2 cargo 6448 ton

total 36,463 tons


I've still got it.

Good patrol, mate!!:up::up: Time is a valuable resource, mate, but as long as your priorities are with your family, i dont think you should worry! :up::up:

Congratz! Great work.

Nice result.:up:

P.s. Honey do's and don't's... oh yeah, damn right we've got the blues sometimes.

Can't really say a lot...I'm divorced:roll:

Good hunting mate. :up: Well done:up:

I have honey do lists. I say, Honey, I'm doing this today, what are you doing?

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Man that's mean...
I quite like it.

Super patrol! :rock:

I'm guessing you make all range estimates with the stadimeter? If so - hardcore. I still rely on the WO for my estimates, and i tell you - i'm ashamed of it. Doing manual TMA with stad readings would be _challenging_.

Edit: P.S. NICE TONNAGE

My wife is out of town for the next three days...
YYYYYYYIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
:rock::rock::rock::rock:

:rotfl:
I hope she never looks over your shoulder when you're reading this thread! :dead:

It's not as hard as you think to use the manual systems. Give it a try on your next run. Use spreads if you are not sure of target aspect angle. When you get it down you'll realize the thrill of not hunting ducks with a ZSU-23.

Congratz! Good patrol -- wives can be as challenging as a bunch of DDs out to get your bonkums. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I can relate to Snakeeyes. Im a college student, taking a full load of classes plus i work part time 15-20 hours a week driving a zamboni. When im not in school or at work, im either doing homework, writing essays for English Comp or doing math, Calculus. So on a good day i might play about 1-2 hours of SH3, but when i play i kick ass.

Um... "driving a zamboni?"

That's not prison-lingo is it?
