the best course of action in that scenario would be to have at least one other person here with me who was as into SH3 as i am... this way we could monitor the game in shifts.
the course of action would be much the same as in real life... stalk the convoy and wait for the weather to break. frequent sound checks to keep an eye on them. and a realization that the weather might not break before the convoy reaches the shallows. at which point if that is the case... plan B: return to course and hope for another encounter.
1x TC is maddening in that regard. right now im about 400KM west of Brest... and i have been at sea now for 22 hours. my last ship contact was the escort from port which turned around and faded into the distance behind us... after that the gulls gave up interest and headed inland... after that the light house outside of brest faded steadily away and at that point it was just U-202 and the sound of the ocean.
this morning i set my alarm for 4:00 am to follow my routine, cook breakfast, check on the progress and crew etc doing a sound check so close to france was pointless so i skipped it.
I was worried about the threat of aircraft but gambled and remained on the surface throughout most of the night last night and thoughout today
i have done three crossword puzzles now, cooked lunch and about to have dinner and my main source of any scenery in SH3 is an endless sprawl of blue waves.
im currently past my 10th save game. with mnay many more to go for sure.
the computer has not missed a beat fortunately. I have dual monitors and through the past 22 hours and 14 minutes of game play i have "task switched" about a thousand times without any problem.
given sea state and wind conditions the use of the deck gun is out of the question right now. its unfortunate that we cant forecast weather on here because as of yet... no matter what target i come across it will have to be hit with torpedoes.
one thing is for sure... whatever ship i encounter is going to the bottom... come hell or high tide!
