1st time 100% realism - Page 2

Today on 5th patrol, my submarine and crew became casualty of war. Two destroyers were too much to handle. Quite sad actually, crew and officers repairing the sub and she's slowly sinking in the depths of the abyss. When I realized that I can't control the sub, I took my headphones and looked at screen. Funny, there was quite sad music from TV (what my wife watched), on that point I recalled scene from movie "Das Boot". Altogether, last 10 seconds of the game was very... I don't know word for it so I'll say emotional.
Well, a new career awaits.

Check out Rockin Robin's video tutorial in the SH4 forum,the John P Cromwell attack,he draws out a vector analysis diagram of the attack which really made it clear,finally got my head round it,though I've never actually tried it yet.
If only I knew in school that I would end up playing subsims and I would finally have a practical use for all that angles and stuff I might have listened more

@ceki,
A sad end indeed.Funny how we can bond with our boat and her crew and the feeling of helplessness we have as the boat sinks out of control.
Anyway,good luck with the new career

Sorry you lost the boat, Ceki but thumbs up on going 100%.
It realy does give SH3 a whole new thrill, and every achievement is a high.

Just having to figure out the direction of travel for a contact (friend or foe) is a whole new world without the WE's help.

Enjoy your "new" SH3. It only gets better.

Mine says 99%, because I like to have 'Teleport' should I actually need it.

When I make contact I travel to it with full speed on surface, than when I reach the approximately spotting position, then dive and listen. I follow contact until I make visual contact with target. Then I make all necessary preparations for attack.

This method I use, although I can't say that my procedure is correct. Maybe, someone more experienced can give you more info.

Nothing wrong with that Steve, I like the external for screenshots.

Each to their own

If it works for you and your happy then I would say it is the correct procedure
