My first Dolphin contact!

[Reece]

Hi, after all this time, well over a year since the dolphin mod was done, I finally made contact!
I was starting off a new patrol and passing through AN67, thought I'd take her down & listen for possable ship contacts, what I heard was the sound of dolphins. I noted their position, waited a few minutes then noted again, this gave me their course, so I surfaced & headed out at flank speed, I really wanted to see this, I caught up with the group and wasn't dissapointed, the picture doesn't do it justice, you have to see it in motion on & below surface:

Thanks to the creators/editors & the GWX team for including this!

I have not seen any out at sea but there was one in the Cadiz harbor area. I can't wait to come across a whale as well.
Cool screen shot anyway.

Saw one near a milch cow I was heading towards. Have`nt spotted any whales yet.

I've seen them in a few habours first sighting I got was just north of Bergen. They randomly pop up from time to time in various places.

I've seen them often when pulling away from the Bessel anchored at Vigo as well, a very nice touch indeed.

The two most amazing things that GWX did to me concerned the 1.3 version. The first was hearing the dolphins on the sonar. The second was hearing another submarine/uboat on the sonar. I was absolutely floored when I heard these two sounds on the sonar. Talk about cool, creative and immersive. Needless to say, I investigated the dolphins but I slunk away from the unknown submerged contact. I knew something was there but was not going to find out if friend or foe.....

Wow, I've only taken note of dolphin when surfaced in-harbor, I had no idea the team had included a sonar signature for them as well. I'll be on the listen-out. Thx for the heads-up AVGWarhawk.

You remember what the "Dolphin-Gun" in the back of the conning tower is for?

Great picture!

Did you use impact or magnetic fusing....??

(SORRY....)

Yeah.
When I had my first dolphin sound contact I thought that there was a birds below the surface!

Don't forget to store a harpoon or two

The real sad part is there are probably more whales in GWX than there are currently in the worlds oceans. It royally pisses me off when countries continue to hunt whales, most of which are considered endangered... when there is absolutely no fecking need to. Its an outrage.

Some animals are endangered by way of natural selection pure and simple. Whales are endangered because of the actions of human kind. Its sick, and one of the things I will probably be upset about till my dying day.

EDIT:
Sorry didn't want to drag the thread down but that was on my mind so out it came. Congrats on your dolphin, still waiting to see one I am...

[von Kinderei]

That is so cool ...

Is this already in the sim or is there a separate mod for this ... I like it

Not at all, I totally agree!
@ Jim, I haven't seen any whales yet, probably be another year!
@ Von Kinderei, it's standard in both GWX 1.03 & 2.0.

Sounds like a good job for a freelancing u-boat, doesn't it! Sail the high seas, meet interesting people and sink their whaling ship. Adventure and a service to several species...yeah :hmm:
