First patrol completed ^-^

Herazio · 07-18-06, 05:36 PM

Grusse !

I've completed the naval academy and have done my first patrol succesfully ! Since I remembered some stuff of SH II I didn't need to learn too much of that. However my first patrol I've encountered 3 warships which I all sank and 3 merchants. For me this is very good since in Silent Hunter II I never even got a torpedo hit :P. But it's all more easy now I suppose. Anyhow

Good hunting !

Welcome Herr Herazio !! We're proud of you, let us know of your deeds in the future. Have you tried yet one of the mods NYGM or GW ? What realism settings are you playing with ? Feel free to ask anything...we try to help each other as much as we can, and there are many special people around here.

Very good, indeed! In my first patrol I sank Dover or Calais and blew up some sardins.

Congratulations of your first combat patrol!

Hopefully you enjoy your stay here at the SubSim.

Congrats on a successful 1st patrol! I sure as hell didn't sink 6 ships in my first go. Welcome to the forum, and we look forward to helping you out and answering any questions in the future

Thank you all for the kind replies. I've read the manuals of how to intercept a ship and such which is very handy when I get a report from BdU and such and manual targetting which is very handy for when I put my realism higher. Till now my realism settings are on normal. And I do not use any mod except for SH III Commander cause I finally know what it's for. I wanted to download the Grey Wolves mod but that was way too big. We have a limited amount of Download Space (Telenet Belgium tsk) but hey. For the rest I'm in the midst of my Second patrol to AN11. Let's see what we can find there

.

Thank you all !

Well done Herazio!

I just completed my first patrol tonight as well.

6 merchants and one warship on the bottom, I found a big convoy with lots of tankers in it, and managed to sink a T3, T2 some cargo's before I ran out of torpedoes. Then I attacked the Corvette coming at me with my deck gun, sustaining some damage, but no casualties. I was able to sink 2 more small cargo ships before I ran out of 88 shells too. Then it was back to base.

Not to bad for a first patrol eh?
I'm only using the patched vanilla atm, with 79% realism.
