Congratulations!
My first sinking was in Silent Service, almost 25 years ago, so I don't remember. My first manual sinking? I haven't done it yet.

Yeay, first sinkings are great...since my very first sinking on Up Periscope on the C64 it was about 15 years ago...and I was too young and no english skillz too understand what was going on...must have been a training mission.
But what I can brag about here is probably my first choreographed manual attack on a convoy in the atlantic with Silent Hunter III. It took me three hours of map-drawing and calculating to figure it out. I was tracking a convoy..during that time it zigged two times until I finally got a chance to intercept into the perfect shooting position. I was targeting the first row (or column??) of the convoy...meaning the front row. Four mearchants. Then the moment arrived to send torpedo after torpedo...with well calculated pauses in between each launch. The hardest part was the timing of it all, but to see the first row getting hit by torpedoes AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME was awesome. Well they were maybe 1 second off, but all manual Trageting!!! No reloading savegames!!! I felt like the King and Queen of Cheese!! I never tried to do this ever again, as I felt that I was pretty lucky to get it right the first time! Probably all luck !! Still...It was a great feeling!!! |
