Was bored in middle of unproductive patrol (03/40) so my sh3 generator map showed iceberg markings in uncharted (ungraphed) artic waters............week later (game time) no icebergs found after exhausting my crew in the frigid north

:rotfl: .

But, i did run into three different taskforces----one ran almost over me while submerged and i got a lucky shot off at an illustorious carrier---6000 away and shot the torp aimed about 20 ft in front of it. immediatley went deep and away at 1kt due to the mutiple dds but had external cam on the carrier (i know-cheating) the torp actually hit the carrier bow but no visible damage effect. a while later the cam showed the carrier front dipping in the surf at full speed so i tried to shadow the tf. right as it appeared that the carrier was getting ready to drive itself under-i lost sonar contact of the tf and also the cam view---thus no credit for assured kill

.

1.)Is there a certain range limit you have to be in (other then obviously view,sonar) for the game to record your sinking?

2.)has anyone ever seen an iceberg?
