my screenie got deleted but i made a post awhile back. I saw mine just north of the outside of the AF sector. not to far from land either. It came as an unknown sound contact and as i went to ship cam...a big iceberg. Its weird because i was stalking a convoy at the time. Now i need dolphins. Off to spain.

They're quick little buggers, so keep a watchful eye

Just like Telgriff said... I get one with hydrophone as a single merchant, slow... I was in some winter month, near "Greenland" (or "Gröenland", don't know). It was just an iceberg... I like to find it, even when it takes me out of m course for a while... Seeya!

In the Atlantic,sure have I been there lots of times...but never ran into one.Iceberg's are sneaky to sink your sub rather than a boat if you're not paying any attention to the hydrophone or whatever else..Just have your WO say "Iceberg spotted!"

Icebergs are an interesting novelty; just make certain you are awake when you are cruising in those Arctic regions.

My first iceberg I never saw. One morning I awoke to find my monitor reporting my career ended due to collision. The area was adjacent to Iceland (ironic), one hundred kilometers from anywhere.

My second iceberg I nearly missed. A month of real time later, heading for the same area, I turned in and, as is not unusual, let the boat run through my sleep. I awoke to the hoopla of massive damage and slow sinking, half of my crew wounded or dead. We managed to save the boat, and with if I remember 12% hull integrity I was ready to acquiesce to my attacker. We had no choice but to pop to the surface, and scanning the horizon...I see my first iceberg. My only regret is giving up the career, rather than trying my luck getting back to port.

If you really want to see one you should be be running with GWX. You should be in the Arctic region; I experienced mine in Spring, think it was 1940.
If you Time-Compress for travel you may be speeding by them without knowing it.
I would prefer you discover them spontaneously, like Easter Eggs in Flight Simulator. But if you can't wait, run with SH3Commander, and after you're some distance from Port, Stop, Save, Exit, Rollback SH3C's Mod files, and set your Time Compression Near Land to "One". Then ReStart, and Time-Compress your way all you want through the Arctic. Given that you have enough fuel, and you stay away from the Mainlands, any proximity to a land mass will slow the sim to Real-Time One. Scanning the area around your boat in relatively clear weather should produce a lumbering iceberg "just passing through".

I've seen some just outside Trondheim.

Kpt. Lehmann · 09-05-07, 03:57 AM

Just encountered over the last two days of testing... Icebergs in TWO's!!!

This was in Career mode... Grids AJ and BC... encountered total of four.

One went below 200 meters depth. (The one with the flat top.)
