they did it again

[GoldenRivet]

Once more my sub has secumbed to the depth charges of the Japanese Navy.

This time i was running silent at 1 knot at a depth of 200 feet. after an hour of depth charging a location about 2 or 3 miles north of me the three destroyers suddenly made a B-line for my position and dropped a lethally accurate pattern of DCs right on me.

heavy flooding in a couple of compartments, light flooding in all compartments. tried my best with the POS damage control interface. no results

sank to 1300 feet, struck the bottom. blew every cubic inch of compressed air in the tank all the way down.

BUT - according to the end game footage ... somehow i have retired from the navy - taken a staff position - wrote memiors about my exploits in the navy and lived long enough to have grand children.

WHAT - THE - F - EVER im going to set up a cooler of beer and watch TV for a while

SH4 has some issues to work through . I'll continue to play this GAME though but only when taking a break from the SIMULATION called SH3

LOL

They need to fix those end-game screens haha.

[GoldenRivet]

PS - i KNOW i was under the thermal layer - because some damned fool on the sub said "PASSING THERMAL LAYER" about 247 times in a row.

hey- UBI!!! IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT

Very odd, when I get blasted the end game screen shows a statue and a salute to my crew and sub. I do not see the brig thing that 1.1 had. I'm surprised anyone is seeing this screen with installation of patch 1.2.

I was D/C'd to death last night and was told I recieved a Purple Heart, and the admiral was somewhat relieved to hear of my death before my lackluster performance went into the National Archives.

Relieved? That kind of hacked me off. I'd love to be able to mod these end game screens. I doubt any admiral would feel "relieved" to lose a boat, regardless of performance.

I have not see that one yet Relieved is a little too screwy. Maybe the wrong word used from our developers?

I think i saw somewhere that the DCs in SHIV can sometimes have a damage radius of 40ft. If you can go silent at 250-300ft. Atleast early on in the war the IJN should be only setting DCs to about 150ft at most...just deep enough to possibly get you at 200ft.

Thanks to Beery, I've found the entry in question in menu.txt:

"Although the Admiral wrote that he regretted to inform your next of kin of your demise at sea, something makes you suspect that he was actually a bit relieved. Thankfully, and maybe out of respect for someone that ultimately gave their life in the service, your abysmal record was scrubbed before making it to the National Archives. Your family still thinks of you as a hero at least."

I'll be changing that to something a bit more appropriate

I want an end game screen that reads

"ALL YOUR BASES ARE BELONG TO US !"

maybe in japaneese :p

Heard during a depth charge attack:

"Sir, Someone set us up the bomb!!"

We can mod the text in these end game screens. The texts are near the end of the menu.txt file. It's a simple text file so you can edit it in any way you like. Unfortunately the devs still haven't fixed the issue that causes the wrong message and images to play for certain end screens.

[Chock]

I want one that says: 'Congratulations, you have destroyed another Yankee imperialist aggressor submarine - the Emperor is well pleased with your efforts and will be along shortly to shower you with cherry blossoms - Banzai!'

SH3 is only a simulation because of 3 patches or so and the dedicated work of dozens of modders. Give it time, SH4 might even surpass it in some areas.

Once more my sub has secumbed to the depth charges of the Japanese Navy.

When did that happen to you? '42, '43, '44? What do you all think? Does the game take into account that the Japanese had more experience in the later war years? Do they get tougher? I started my two careers at the early war and so far i didn't face much danger.
