Playing the Narwhal

Reading that gets me fired up and wanting to play, thats cool.

Do you run at high realism, and did you get away from that port afterwards?

I would like to try the new boat. Not sure how to get it. I have only donated to the end of the year fund raiser thing and wonder if that would be enough.

Thanx.

I'm playing the Narwhal in RFB (with a fix for the nonexistent crew) and man, those 6" guns are maniacal.

I sank a couple merchants within a few minutes of opening fire, and, a patrol boat that looked like an akikaze destroyer O_O

with RFB's damage model...it's an accomplishment, and a hats off to keltos and peabody, who made the guns work.

speaking of which, Keltos, have you tried angling the guns (forward gun up 1-2 degrees, stern 2-3 degrees down) so they are flush with the deck? if you don't get what I mean the pictures of the White Narwhal shows what I'm talking about. makes for good pictures

out of the bay just in the PO and see... only one fish left ! darn ! fire tube three at that large modern composite !

I just tried RFB 2.0 and had no crew, can you pm me the fix ?

no the guns aren't flush with the deck..

Or perhaps that's the new procedure dealing with destroyers when we have those big 'uns?

Glad I'm not crew on your boat!

we survived with minor damage from two shell hits, moved on to sink the other DD the same way, and the freighter they were escorting.

I noticed that when the DD got close I couldn't depress my guns enough to hit it? but real close I could

I have a smoking great crew !
