Air-raid!!!!

flakmonkey · 04-25-08, 06:46 AM

Ahh my first patrol in a shiny new type XXI boat, just after midnight, leaving Bergen.

"Ooh all the twinkling lights of the town look lovely in the moonlight, Bernard, fetch my camera!"
2 mins later
"Whats that damn buzzing, bloody luftwaffe what time do you call this, people are sleeping down here!!... And wheres Bernard with my camera!"
30 seconds later
"Why has the air-raid siren started up and whats with all those searchlights..... Oh dear."

What followed was possibly the coolest and most chaotic moment ive experienced while playing SHIII.
Pitch black, stuff exploding everywhere, searchlights and AA guns making for a pretty spectacular display over the hills surrounding the harbour.
I escaped with only a few bullet holes in the tower and no real damage.

Little moments like this one are why i love GWX and SHIII and keep coming back long after other games have lost their appeal.

Thought id post a screenshot, its a bit dark i know but it was the middle of the night...

Can't wait to see this. Thanks for the heads up I probably would have been sunk while watching.

You wanna try a harbour raid
When you are detected most ports sound of the siren too
Quite eerie as the searchlights dance over the sea looking for you

In some harbors there's some out of the way places that are blind spots to all the lookouts, giving you time to unload those annoying external eels.

If you'd visited the GWX website prior to yesterday you would have experienced the same but with the addition of sound
