A MOD funny of sorts... And a sea story

Havan_IronOak · 12-22-14, 11:44 AM

Finally settled on using the following mods for this campaign.

Improved Stock Environmentv2
Dark Recognitionmanual
Max Optics IV for SH4 1.5
OM_SH3_Command_Keys (from the OpMun mega mod)
3000 Meter Bearing Tool (1920x)

It all seemed to work great in a mini-test, so i started a real u-boat campaign.
First T3 Tanker I encountered I got to within 1000 Meters and couldn't lock on target - too foggy!
Even though I'd opted for assisted-targeting I adjusted using manual controls and got 2 for 2 hits.
Of course, being that close it was easier.

Next contact, another T3 Tanker still too foggy, 2 misses outta 2 surfaced and gunned em down.
If I couldn't see them, they couldn't see me well enough to target guns. Not a single shot returned.

Third contact two large freighters.
Set up on auto (lock worked fine once the fog cleared) fired on first and set up a solution on second.
As I was finishing set up for second, planes dove in and sank both ships! I was robbed!

I'm STILL not sure that my assisted targeting is working as planned but... on with the voyage.
Gives a whole new meaning to "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"

btw... the u-boat captain's name is Alex T Sinkstöff

I realized after I posted this that it would be more appropriately placed under the sticky thread Stories and Patrol Logs.

I posted it there but when I came back here to delete this thread I see that delete has been disabled? Or am I missing something obvious?
