SH3 advice: Gibraltar by daylight

If you're underwater, then I'm 99.99% sure that that's a bug.

Gibraltar isn't that bad. It was the first mission I finished in SH3 when I bought it back in 2010. Day or night doesn't matter much. All one has to do is plot a course along the African coast, go as deep as you are able and go silent. It takes several hours and you will deplete a bunch of your air, but it is manageable. I would not want to try Gibraltar on the surface at all. Radar ignores fog and darkness.

I wonder if this is a "great escape" ... (periscope depth)

Turn that external camera off, best thing I ever did, makes the game so much more fun. Not so good for screenshots I suppose though

Just make sure you don't run a ground, that is hitting shallow ground. That's definitely going to ruin your day.

I would congratulate you on your way to crossing the strait but I might only jynx you.

So if luck has anything to do with this then I hope your luck continues.

Good luck and good hunting
