I'm changing my work towards Silent Hunter 4. BTW jollyroger that helps me out a LOT.
Main reason why I switched game versions is because SH4 just operates so much smoother. The load times aren't nearly as ridiculous. Plus the graphics are incredible. Check this out.
This is my Ise losing a fight to a Iowa. Each one of the 6 gun turrets were disabled. This fight happened at 7,500 yards. There was fire everywhere, 80% crew dead, all fuel gone, etc... A glorious fight. Working on getting it to flood quicker at the moment.
P.S. I was still in control of the ship at this point.
