AAR - rowi58's reports of patrols

[rowi58]

Hi folks,


this is just a report from my patrols – you can call it an AAR (After Action Report) or what you would like to call it.


I'm not a friend of many words, so I would like the picture to talk to you. But it is (they are) always taken from the actual patrol within our almost favourite SH3. I know, there is a special thread for “screenshots”, with great “shots” at all. But I think – a little bit closer to “real” career - will enhance this good old game.


First of all – i'm playing with my “private” MOD CCoM – which is the mother of LSH3 V3-V5. Next – i'm always starting with “SH3_Commander,” a tool without SH3 would have been nothing. And all 54 releases of CCoM are activated with JSGME.


That's all as a foreword. The “rest” will come in this thread as picture and small text.




Career name: Erich Topp
Starting time: 01. September 193


First patrol:
Starting before the war at 01 clock AM. Got full ammunition and was wondering why at that time. We were told that there will not be a war against Great Britain. Someone lies! Leaving Kiel at night:



My dear “old” and big fat uncle – the “Sperrbrecher”. He helps me get out of Kiel.



The never finished “Graf Zeppelin” is returning from a machine trial to Kiel. What a kind of ship! Sad to say that we will never see him again:



At he dawn of day: a small German convoy heading to Kiel. Nice to see good old sailing ships:



At the first day of hostility, i've sunk a ferry ship (AG124's “Chatham Transport”). Got a 5.000 GRT+ “HighScore”:



Next “victim”. A large freighter, with some “critical” loading. But the North Sea is deep enough to hide this “freight” :



Those damned “birds” are thrilling me every time. Just in September 1939, they are still above you, keep clear of that “birds” (it is a SH5 conversion of the “Swordfish”):





Returning home to Kiel after 3 weeks of challenge. Now i've to spend 3 weeks in harbour to refit my boat. Let's see what Kiel can “offer”:



That's for the first patrol. If you would like a continuation of this “report”, i'll do it. Sorry for my “bad” English – i'll try to do it as well as possible.


Let me say: “SilentHunterIII” is still the best subsim i've ever played. Folks – keep that thing alive! I'll do so – and I know many of the great contributors to SH3 will do so, too. So – THANKS to all. Here and all over the world of SH3.


Greetings
