What is your tonnage record?

WAKDADDY · 09-05-09, 01:35 PM

OK,,, in a single mission,,, 140,000 tons. I'm new to the game, so it doesn't really count as I have the realism low,,, around 30%. I've had the game about 3 weeks,,,so I'm still learning. Actually I've had it for years,,, but never even opened it. But,, a few broken bones and some recoup time,,, and this bad boy has made the last three weeks fly by. So far,,,

30 missions, late 1942, and I'm close to 2,000,000 tons. And yes,,, it's starting to get boring. I'm torn between running it out to the end of the war,,, or starting over with a higher realism.

But,,, I'm still in nube mode.

Well, WELCOME ABOARD!

Hope you heal fast and right (but not fast enough that your play time ends too soon).

For more realism, try GWX3 and SH3 Commander. The one will change how you play the game, and the other will change how you think of it.

WAKDADDY · 09-05-09, 02:11 PM

Well,,, I've been thinking about it. But I don't know if the hardware can handle it. I've got a magic cheat working right now,,,,

if I get within a hex of a convoy,,, running max compression,,, the puter lags. Hence,,, slow down,,, periscope depth,,, and work the sonor guy until you find it. Then cherry pick the fat tankers,,, dive deep,,, and get the heck out of there.

Where can I find more info on the mod's you mentioned?

oh,,, and is this a site for "purist",,, the 100% all the time realism guys,,,, or is there room for "hackers" too?

If you want to 'cheat' (your word not mine) then try the SpySat mod for GWX3.0 and you'll be able to see EVERY convoy on the map.

Welcome aboard btw.

On the other hand SH3Gen would be an excellent substitute for SpySat. This program creates quite a realistic atmosphere. All one has to do is to adjust the amount of intelligence he's going to receive and its reliability depending on the year he sails with his U-boat. IMHO its fun.

I started in '39 full realism (as far as possible

) and to date 14 august '42 i have sunk 664167 tons of shiping. Few neutrals but all in rules of engagement. Total of 126 ships (2 of witch warships (no BB,CV , only a DD and an aux.cruiser).

If we assume i survive to the end of the war i guess i can get really close to the milion but that is a loooong shot.

I forgot to mention GWX3 + OLC

I've used SH3Gen for about 2 year now and continue to use it on one of my installs....but one thing it can't do is show you the precise location in real time and update it regularly whilst your out on patrol.

SH3Gen is a great programme btw

I wouldn't like that 'cause it seems fairly unrealistic to me. But that's just me.
