well that was interesting!

Having finally got GWX 2.0 installed late last night, I just HAD to begin a patrol today before getting down to the mundane landlubbery jobs we mostly have to do in this world. I am in Kiel, of course, so off we tootle,me admiring the scenery and noting the new bits and pieces and once I was happy that we were clear of any immediate hazards ( like the quay wall for instance!), I went below to plot the course (snazzy new tool there). No sooner had I got there than I heard some explosions. Being somewhat cowardly, my first move was to go to peri depth and peer about. I could still hear planes, but no more bangs, and other craft were still continuing along as normal, so I came up again. Over to the starboard there was something burning in the water, and I couldn't quite make it out, but as an investigate would mean crossing the bows of another boat, I decided to mind me own business and carry on. Well, lining up for the bridge I heard a further explosion and looking astern see a boat that had been cruising peacefully along now stopped dead and in flames - and the original burning something was moving around it, low in the water, still with flames and smoke coming out of it.

Hmm sez I to first mate ( do we have first mates on subs?) gotta get a closer look at this, so, leaping up topside, I grab the legs of a passing albatross and wing my way over to the burning boat. I then see that the thing circling around the burning boat, like a shark is... a plane, his prop still turning even though only just the top of the plane is visible in the water. What??! Is this some new sort of SEA-plane? So did its pilot down the approaching boat with a burst from its guns even from its own watery grave? Made I laugh! Great fun, even if it isn't meant.
Very pleased with the new mod, even though hardly into it yet. great work team- how do you do these amazing things? Thank you

Sounds busy

No first mates in subs. First watch officer (or simply first officer) in German Boots.
Of course, you always have Bernard.

You'd best apply for a desk job ashore then.

If you talk about project "Exocoetidae", the SS will have to kill you.

Remember, if you save your game in harbor regions, a stock SH3 bug kicks in and all scripted traffic loses their waypoints... causing them to drive in a straight line until they hit something.

Nothing we can do about it.

[She-Wolf]

ho-hum......

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Sorry She-Wolf, wasn't trying to be flippant.

[She-Wolf]

s'okay Kpt Lehman, didn't think you were.

I say though, we DO have to be a bit on our toes coming out of Kiel now. I told of that downed plane earlier, and since I have been back, there seems to have been an attack on Kiel as one ship has been sunk.. perhaps I ought to keep the gun manned.....
