I wanted to try the magnetic torps since I had 3 torpedoes impact and explode on a coastal, but it still managed to float & pull 3 kts. The weather was bad so I couldn't use the deck gun to finish her off. After about an hour of game time, I nailed her with another eel and she went down..

I'm already hooked.. I find things to do near the computer so I can run missions.. My son hit the 'c' key for some reason and I heard the 'ALAAAARM' all the way across the house (speaks were up a tad high :rotfl: )
Sounds to me like a new video card will cure your ills but yeah, port traffice does stress the hardware. In the open sea it is much better. Anyway, stay away from the coast/small tramp steamers. They are torpedo/cannon shell wasters. Go for the big boys.

Anyway, a lot of great cards are on sale at Best Buy. Might be worth a look and small investment for the gains you will get. Besides you will be hooked on this like crack:rotfl:
