Yeah, I've heard he's aces at detecting incoming aircraft.

I've been trying to recruit him, but they keep telling me I can't. Something about him being American. And apparently still in grade school.

Pregnant seacow is very descrptive name for type IXD2

I did same mistake too.

Hmmm. Night Surface Attack on a Convoy in 1943, eh?

Definately playing with fire there but, on a moonless night it's either that or, wait for some light for a Submerged Attack. One can easily get burned either way.
Just trying to hold contact in itself is dangeriouse in '43.

Sorry you lost your boat, and freedom.
On a more positive note, that IXD2 may have been what kept you alive long enough to blow ballast, and make it to the surface.

How do you surrender in SH3? If you come to the surface, don't they just blast you to smithereens? I don't see an abandon ship order.

Threesixtyci · 02-19-10, 03:45 PM

You can't surrender. But I think with Sh Commander it'll deem it a surrender if you're surfaced when you die, or something. I don't remember the details.

Actualy . . . you don't.
Making it to the surface before being destroyed is just a "feel good" thing.
When you get there they still ram and gun you. No need to scuttle.

Psha! When enemy ships see my lovely pregnant sea cow on radar, they think its a whale and run away. They don't want another Essex incident!
On another note/ bright side, I actually got torpedoes off at the tanker I was aiming at, fired a spread of 2, 1 hit and I got 10k tons. Another 10k ton career, woot!

Edit: Weird thing was, there were no planes attack me throughout the battle, until I resurfaced and surrendered.
I was right in range of British air bases, so I was slightly amazed.

This would have been two nice touches to the game.

If you die on the surface, an animation showing some kind of capture/surrender scheme would have been cool.

If you did underwater, some animation showing a crippled sub slowly sinking, leaking oil and bubbles, followed by an implosion would have been cool.

The instant black stat screen is a let-down.
