New to the forum - only recently started playing SH3 again after a long hiatus.
Pleased I started my new career in 1940 as it been a year since I been seriously playing ANY S/H game and even then i been using SH2 as my machine is only really capable of running SH3 and I thus I haven't bought SH4 or SH5!
I recently completed a patrol of AL67 and was back & forth-ing between that and SW england, without spotting anything except for Hi-Sea's and strong winds.
So decided to potter around off northern Ireland - got stalked by a couple of torpedo patrol boats for a considerable while and took slight damage from thier small arms cannons. I submerged and slipped away managing to shake off thier patrol.
Later in the Irish sea SW of Douglas on the I.O.M my crew spotted a lone merchant. I closed to within firing distance and managed to sink him with my second shot (only pic I took was this one with his stern slowly sinking - confirmed by crew as a kill and was given credit)
I attempted to chase other contact's given to me, but was too far away to get anywhere near them.
I ended my opening patrol with the sinking of that lone merchant (results s/s below).
Couple of night's ago I started my second patrol and this has started alot like my first - vast expanses of open water, nothing in sight but open ocean and large waves - save for the odd FAST patrol off the UK coast!
When I saved up @ 2am when I went to bed early hrs of thursday (upon last playing it) I was hovering around the external's of Grids AM and AL trying to pickup some convoy contacts without any luck.
