Still, any attack you limp away from is a good one. Well, done kaleun.

Yeah, I think I got a bit cocky, thinking I had borked my sensor settings. I guess I didn't.

Hey, I see your a modeler. A 1/144 scale VIIC/41, Good Stuff.

I don't think I could do one now. I used to do miniatures painting and 1/72 and 1/48 scale aircraft in my day until my eyes went bad and computer games came along. Think I'll send off for a Squadron Shop catalogue and see whats new.

Do you think I should switch to pink or put a racing stripe on it?

I find the Umark helpful for testing and setting up screenshots. I'll remove it someday.

I am slowly working on an environment mod that I started from scratch that use my own settings and is not based on others. I am trying to make the North Atlantic in the game look somewhat realistic and like the ocean that I know, and it ain't green. I am going to call it Beaufort 7 as I am trying to adhere to the Beaufort Scale where 15m/s winds are just high winds and not a Gale, Storm, Hurricane or what have you. You can see some of the results in the above pictures.

Oh, pay me no attention......play the game whatever way you prefer......I used it for long enough in the beginning and still use it on occasion when modding my installation, especially if you are checking your boats position on multiple occasions.

I knew you were joking (I saw the wink), so was I (should have winked back).

Speaking of racing stripes, lately I have been thinking the fender decal for the 1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge" would make an awesome U-Boat emblem. What do you think?

TBH I prefer the more realistic emblems....but each to their own, I have had a good chuckle in the past at some of the humerous selections

I was joking again. I wouldn't dare plaster my U-Boat with that thing. A P-51 maybe, but not a U-Boat. I like the name though.

People say I am too dry and laconic and can't tell a story or a joke, I guess they are right.

Possibly but that isn't a crime
