Raid on scapa!!
 
I did it, haha, But nothing too big was in it, But i managed to sneak in pass the half sunk ships and through the mines and subnets. My first contacts were two VW DDs one was moving the other was stationary. Then i moved north to the port. Two tankers, a troop transport, a Fuji Class Cruiser and two medium cargo ships. Then i moved west and noticed a little craft heading towards me, PT boat. Took it out with my deck gun. Then i found an AUX Crusier, easy one shot kill, and a Dido (I think) Cruiser. This all happend at night sooo i was fun. I thought i took awhole bunch of screenshots but i was pushing the wrong buttons, soo im a little pissed about that. Scapa Flow Is too easy, where are some other "easy" harbors to raid?

I was only able to get into Scapa Flow once and it was so long ago, I forget what I sunk. I do remember that one ship I sunk, I didn't get credit for because it was too shallow.

In order to avoid pushing the wrong buttons to take screen shots, I use a program called HypersnapDX and it works great. It requires a folder to put the snaps in and they will stay there untill you delete them. It does a great job for me.

Congratz!

I did Scapa with SHII, that was enough.
I just got back from 2nd patrol with a IX. Will have to resign from the Second Patrol you're Dead Club and see if Warhawk will let me join the Third Patrol You're Dead Club. :arrgh!:

That's an impressive haul!

I've gotten into Scapa more times than I've gotten out, and I'll leave it at that.

Yeah yeah we all probably tried to raid Scapa Flow. :stare:
I found it anti-climatic. Now try to raid Dover or Lock Ewe :hmm:

Last time I was anywhere near Scappa the game was mid `40 I think. I tried to short-cut through the lower channel ... screw that noise now.

i'll try again once i can afford a sub with a deck gun

Ummm, I think the notion of bringing more than one torpedo is a good one. Sound thinking.

But, uh, yeah, um, a deck gun? You planning a duel?

I'm ashamed to admit... I've been playing SHIII for months now.. and I havn't raided Scapa Flow yet.:oops:

I went in to scapa 4 times in 1 career and the largest ship there out of all the times was a V&W and the last time i hit a min and started flooding and had to surface so the DDs made short work of me.

Its better if u go to scapa early in the war so u can get the Big Boys there. I got the Hood on my 3-4 patrol to scapa.

Deep-Six 02-27-07 12:03 AM

Anytime I hit SF, the biggest ship I see is a AuxCA and a Troopship.

Yet to see any Cap ships in the Flow.:damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:
