Thanks!

I'm just teasing anyway. Of course play the game so you have fun. This is my first career so I'm playing at 57% realism. There would be so much you'd miss otherwise if you're a newbie that likely it wouldn't be any fun without some of the aides at first. But for sure use the German language, it's great, and you still get the English translations, but it's way cool to hear the crew call you Kaleun.

I thought everyone had gone to NY. When I was there, I think '42, type IX, it was pretty quiet. I have the screenies of the Lady. I think I'll go back in 1944 and see if it's any hotter. :hmm:

It doesn't look quite so good during the day. I was going to wait for nightfall but instead I committed suicide by surfacing to take some pics.

Of course within minutes I was dead, thanks to aircraft (and probably thanks to the airpower mod as well)

It's quite easy getting in. There's about 5 warships patrolling the entrance, but no warships inside the actual harbour. There's obviously aircraft during the day though. Also it was a pretty long journey submerged, so I would have to have surfaced inside the harbour to refresh air and batteries.

I see you were surfaced at night, so it must be reasonably safe. Before I died from aircraft I was taking fire from merchant ships. So I guess you'd have to surface somewhere they couldn't see you. It's certainly a trickier place than somewhere like Freetown.

When I reload I'm just going to stick to my patrol grid. It was nice seeing New York but there weren't enough targets to justify going in again. I'm sure my crew will appreciate it

I agree. I use German and it really goes a long way towards immersion.

Great shots!! I'm from Brooklyn and know better than to surface during the day. Might get mugged.

Rose · 05-15-06, 06:02 PM

"Just HT and the Ocean Maddness mods"

What is HT and where can I find the ocean maddess mod? Thanks.

SG

Khayman · 05-17-06, 03:44 AM

HT would be the Harbour Traffic mod. You can get it from http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/. Click on "SH3 Downloads" then "SH3 Mods (General Section)" and you'll find it there. It's an essential mod in my view

Can't help with Ocean Madness. It would be in the list of mods thread in the SH3 Mods workshop, but that list has vanished

I lived for a short time in Brooklyn Heights after college. That Brooklyn Bridge shot, & even the classic Lady Liberty shot kinda got to me. Brought back memories of hiking across the bridge in a suit to make a job interview because I couldnt afford the subway.

I stopped outside the harbor in my one & only Type IX drumbeat mission to pick off emerging merchants. Had I known the city was modeled so well, I might have taken the risk, tied up at dock, & taken a look around to see if Montegue St., & Bob Dylan's dad still lived there.

Thanks for the pictures.

The Brooklyn Bridge is three miles across from entrance to entrance, I know because Ive seen every step.

Unfortunatlly it's not modeled past the Manhattan Bridge and doesn't make it to the GW on the Jersey side. Made me want to stop for a slice of Pizza or a Kinish.

Rose · 05-26-06, 02:58 PM

I know, I live in Manhattan and was so disappointed to see only the lower 10 or so streets modeled... Noticable landmarks are the Statue of Libery, Ellis Island, Governors Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, and the City Hall building... but it doesnt go up to Midtown where the Empire State Building is...
