Found Iceberg!

Reece · 08-09-08, 10:21 AM

Hi, Wow, this is a huge fluke, coming back from refueling from U-461 to Lorient I came across 2 merchants in grid BC65, I took my IXC to periscope depth and my Hydraphone operator reported the 2 merchants plus another, I sunk the first 2 then checked hydraphones, the fix had no sound whatsoever, so I plotted a course and found it was an Iceberg, couldn't believe my eyes after complaining about never seeing them an there it is!!

Quite spectacular, I was about to move on but thought I'd go down first and check out what it would look like below!

Damn amazing this game, the detail is great!

What's strange about wanting some blubber to wax up the torpedos?

Reece · 08-11-08, 08:33 AM

Cripes Jim, where did you dig up that old picture of me?
