Peace. War. What's Your Experience?

Brag · 05-10-08, 10:09 PM

For those of us who have been playing SH3 for some time, the brief respite we get from war in GWX2.1 is a magic period. We can visit any port and feel free. Once the war begins things change.

I challenge every kaleun in SH3/GWX to start in Aug 39 and describe the experience between peace and war.

I think this picture describes it fairly well.

I started in Aug 39 and I've got to say it was pretty cool, especially sailing through the channel, surfaced of course but I couldn't enjoy it very much because of the weather.
The most annoying thing was that I was sailing next to some sweet ships like medium mercands and tankers and I couldn't shoot them

I took my IIA out on a test run to my assigned grid (AN26, I think) (U-1, under Jurgen Deecke - he was the real commander in August, although U-1 was a training boat at this time). On the way out I practiced with torps on the Kiel wreck; simulated navigational training through the canal while outbound; in open sea tested all speeds and ranges, diving times, depths, recharge times etc. In my assigned grid submerged and tested hydrophones - all contacts (mostly British whalers) I investigated silently and unobserved and sent reports back to BdU. Basically a training/reconnaissance patrol. Returned to Kiel, did another training patrol, then started my 3rd patrol mid-September, 1939.

The August start is a fantastic tool for complete familiarization with your boat and its capabilities, as well as practising stealthy approaches and ship identification (I'm kind of a noob).

In fact I enjoyed it so much I wish I could start in 1935 when some boats were commissioned

(yeah, I'm a realism nut

)

Would this be hard to mod :hmm:?
