Ahhhhh! where to start...

Try the single mission Happy Times: you will encounter a convoy close-by which is almost devoid of escorts....the are rushing in from a distance though. You can even pick a U-boat of your liking.

That gives you just enough time to play with the maths a little and pick of some nice merchants....if you approach it well, you can easily achieve a perfect 90 degrees firing position; the mission is not called Happy times for nothing!

Thanks ReM, I'll give that a try...
I also DL'ed Raduz"s Hydrophone Tutorial & will give that a try. It may work for both the hydrophone & 3:15 etc stuff.
This sub sim looks like it has the makings of a loooong learning curve..lol

Welcome to this den of ruffians, Papa. You may find the practical advice on my webbie useful. Have fun! SH3 is one hell of a ride

Welcome to the board papa,it may seem confusing but you will get the hang of things soon enough

and you are right,it is a long learning curve,in fact you never stop but thats the enjoyable part,it means you keep coming back to it again and again.........

before you know it you'll be hooked as the rest of us and we shall have another kaleun to patrol the sea's

PapaG39 · 07-28-07, 02:03 AM

Ha Ha...That's all I need...To be "HOOKED" on another game...
I have spent the last 5 years or so totally hooked on WWll flight sims.
The last few years only on IL2 Sturmovik which has given me more fun then a barrel of monkeys..
However, I would like a change of pace and have always been a great fan of all Sub movies & books. I think the subs are the best part of the navy with the dd's next. I have always liked a small tight nit group and of course, you get that with the subs or on a destroyer...
anyway I'm looking forward to it...

Prepare to really dislike the destroyers in this sim

Welcome to the forum!
You will never stop learning in this game, especially with a supermod installed.
Like Mush Martin said, it's more like a hobby than a game.

You'e come to the right place then. You won't find a tighter bunch of nits anwhere.:rotfl:

Welcome aboard!

LOL, I have to say that I never thought I'd ever find something that would just sweep away my urge to fly.

You could say that the rest of that story ends with an obsession with the U-boat war and involvement in GWX.

Welcome aboard Kaleun PapaG39

After your all settled and truly smitten you might want to try a supermod...I'd advise you try GWX for the GWXperience

In actually fact, theres a new version due out soooooooooooooooooooooooooon or when its ready :p
