I play just career and am into 1940 with several hundred tons and a happy crew - we enjoy ourselves. We perform our obligatory assignment then head to our favorite lanes to hunt.

Today I accidentally hit a quick mission and found myself in a friggen gun battle with the Bismark and the Brits - almost had my knickers in a twist. I spotted capital ships that were easy targets but opted to take out the escorts that carried depth charges on their arses.

I took a stern shot on one so I could push away full ahead and sunk the squirt. The other came tootin fast but I was well clear and he seemed to be looking for survivors - I quickly put my bow to him as he circled and slammed him with 2.

By then the capital ships were aways away and I surfaced and bore down to within range and put one belly up. I lost the other and tried an intercept but came on 2 merchants and dispatched them both.

When I headed for the barn - not even a stinkin commendation, candy bar, or strudel on a stick. Stinkincheapinskattens.

Helga was there of course waiting for me.

The first time I played that Bismarck mission I saw that I started submerged and decided to pop up for a quick look around. So I popped up...right next to the Nelson! Mission over.

In the early development of GWX we tested a mission (Iceland or something similar) and the U-boat starting position was a couple of hundred metres away from the Howe or the Anson....but surfaced

way to go Sailor. You must have been a fresh noobie to SH3 when u did this

What are persicope and hydrophone for then ? :hmm:

Sailor Steve · 08-22-08, 09:30 PM

It was a single mission! I played single missions in SH2, and they always started you submerged, and the ships you had to sink were always off in the distance somewhere! How was I to know this would be different? Yes, I was new to the game! It's not like the time in the Naval Acadamy when I was shelling a merchant and got too close and he blew up right next to me and killed me and my career and one of the Acadamy's best instuctors!

Wait...did I say that out loud?

:rotfl:
