Default New hunter here...

Hey yall, new hunter and having a blast sinking pratacly everything in sight or reach of my Torpedeos. I'm playing SHIII on my main computer and my Laptop and man does it kill time. Just yesterday I touched basis with the community and downloaded a few mods. One is the Ail Sky Mod, but it doesn't seem to be working. I just keep seeing clear skies everywhere I go except the damn storms. Any pointers or other mods to fix this??

Other than that, just returned in my IIVB from terrorizing the North Sea. Was sent to Patrol AN52, but went else where with all this fuel to burn, but not far. Went in to the Gulf where the that Frith is on the North Sea. (Forgot the name) Sunk 3 Destroyes, one patrol craft, and a bunch of fishing boats, trawlers, and small merchants. Some coming from Norway but are still Neutral. Over all I sunk about 42000 Tons, and smoked 6 planes. Even went head to head with an Armed Trawler on the surface. Kept missing him with my Torpedos, so I blasted him to the four winds.

I am running on a 46% realism, haven't qiut mastered the torpedos just yet. Is there a Distance before the torpedos have to become active? I am enegaging targets sometimes at 200Meters or less and the fishs just bounce off. I do practice splitting the Keels with the Magnetic detonation. I find it easier to sink a ship this way, specially a DD type. I have way to much fun bagging destroyers. Unfortunaly I have to dive and hid from the Corvettes. I nailed one straight on at the bow with a Torp, but the thing kept comming. Ended up having to lay on the bottom, 96 meters down and wait this thing to stop charging me. After a while he kept circling, so everytime he his baffles obstructed his hydrophone, I raised up a couple of meters and went all ahead slow. When he cirlced back, I'd stop and wait for him to move on. Talk about nail bitting. When I first targeted this thing, I thought I was going up against a trawler. My surprise when my Pinghead yelled out "Splashes!"
