Icebergs....can't find any?

gary1701 · 09-16-05, 06:32 AM

I know it sounds like a silly question, but where can you find the picturesque icebergs for a good background to a screenshot? Have seen a few in screenshots on this forum so they must be about somewhere. I've been up North, way past Greenland and Iceland as far as you can go with no luck. Do you have to head down South (could be difficult with a mark VII!)?

Its hard to find them, I think that there are only 12 of them at the entire planet (in SH3), and you have to be very lucky to find one, especialy because of TC we are using.

custom missions i made myself. i haven't encountered them in normal game. They actually made like units and can move up to 5knots in whatever direction, so technically they can ram into you if you are on course. But they are not anywhere as they should be.

Never seen them in the campaign North pole or South Pole been there no bergs.But I could be wrong.
But if you d/load the custom missions Ice baby I think it's available on this site there's bucket full of Icebergs.The MIssion unfolds SSE of Iceland and Iv'e been there so many times in a campaign and never found one,

Thanks for the info guys. Found them on the downloaded mission - very nice. Good screen shot that.

Go north young man,go north.

gary1701 · 09-18-05, 04:44 PM

Gone north .... and didn't so much as fall of the edge as I hit it! Tooling along on 'map' at time compression and bang, U-802 destroyed with all hands - try again! Went up 'orth again slowly and just come across a big dark grey mass stretching all across the horizon - cheats! Back to the drawing board!

?? Only 12?? For crying out loud.. Can we mod this so when sailing high North in winter you will find sailing there VERY hazardous by all the icebergs floating around, and perhaps even some icebergs near Greenland.

*Allready dreams about a suicidal cat 'n mouse chase with a DD in the mids of icebergs *

Again..only 12? how about 1200..

Fire up the Campaign.RND in the editor and stick them in. No different from adding a ship.

Hey I have just found one. It was about 350 km East from Iceland (AE5694), at 11 Sept. 1940. Maybe we should evidence when and where icebergs was found.

Here are a bunch of screens:

That is incorrect

There are seven (7) different types.

Granted, they are not often sighted in game but (in GWX for sure) they are there and they do spawn

Have a look on this thread

Don't be too keen to see an iceberg, look what happened when the titanic saw one.

NiclDoe · 10-07-07, 09:29 AM

go to the north pole and ask Santa for one. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've found them more frequently than I expected on missions along the Murmansk convoy route north of Norway. Typically when I'm at periscope depth listening on sonar I'm tipped off by the report of a merchant that's dead in the water. These are icebergs. I'd say at least once (sometimes 2-3 times) on each mission along this route I come across an iceberg.
