Nice going Spray! I'm also a big type 9 fan! Love the extra bit of speed and all those torpedoes! My recent patrol is getting rather frustrating, I've fired two whole spreads at a battleship and the thing is still cruising along in the center of a convoy! Of course though only 4 have actually hit him and they were all in the stern area, I have so much better luck when they hit forward. If I were in a type 7 I'd be on my way home already but as it is I'm overhauling for another try! I really want to sink that sucker LOL

Once you get into 1944 you may want to trade that type 9 in for a 7c, would give you a much better chance of surviving in the late war. Deck it out with all the late war goodies and be careful out there

Break out the bottle, I say bring out the barrels.
As for me I use the “outside shots” to quench my eye-candy thirst. And it’s a big one.:p

I bought a PC just for gaming and I find SH3 lacking in the eye candy department. Maybe ive been playing too much BF2 GFX settings maxed as high as they will go. I also don't like the blurring instead of AA effects.

Well done mate Now stop showing off and go out there to make the tonnage 2,000,000

BTW out of curiosity, what realism settings are you using? (I'm not saying this to put you down, I just want to see how different realism settings affect the tonnage)

74% as posted above also.

"im not doing this to brag and boast im sure its no big acheivement for some people out there but form me its I never expected to sink this much tonnage or even survive for as long as I have. Lets hope I don't jynx myself and lets see what the end of the war can bring me."

Also posted above.

I still gotta figure how to use Auto aim and use an outside view for documenting so thats where thats from.

Now stop distracting me and let me sink 2 million :P.
