I have joined the club

STEED · 06-23-15, 09:54 AM

After many years of playing SH4 I have finally become a member of that special club, the ghost ship spotters club.

Not once but twice I spotted the ghost ship at night and day, couple of pictures here and the rest I will post on the screenshot thread soon. Too help out my fellow Captains I first spotted this ghost ship NE of Luzon June 3rd 1944. That ghost ship goes like a rocket no wonder its hard to come across.

Why does everyone keep posting screenshots of empty ocean?

The ocean is never empty.

she is fast but if you time it correctly and get within that magical distance it will slow down so you can circle it and have a good close look with your boat.

Myself, I think there's something in the torpedo juice.

Crazy Japs taking pot shots.

Second pic is so cool.

Maybe one day I shall get to see her up close with luck.

A passing patrol and plane came by as I was hanging around the Dutchman. The Japanese just saw her as another target but even hit after hit they can't touch her.

I was hiding under her during the whole barrage.

That is too cool.

Has anyone sailed though her?
