Not much new for me, just getting ready for the break from lawschool and planning on travelling back to ID to spend Christmas with the inlaws. How about yourself?

Looking forward to the Christmas break. Will have most of next week off. My wife teaches so she will have a couple of weeks off. The three boys are pretty pumped for the big day, should be a great one.

Lawschool, how far are you into it. Inlaws, you learn to love them

... I guess :hmm:

just finishing my second year of classes, then off to intern in the spring. I am very fortunate that the inlaws are all really great, so it will be a nice break spending time with them. It must be nice to have kids old enough to understand christmas and young enough to still be excited by it. My wife just started teaching 8th grade science and I know that she is ready for the break aswell.
We got hit hard by the storms of the last week but fortunately didn't lose power, I cannot imagine what it must have been like to be caught in those ice storms than struck recently.

If you ever want an idea where the shipping lanes or air coverage is in the game just open up the Mission Editor, you can go into the campaign and see where the traffic is for everything. Just don't change anything when you are in there or you could screw up the game

I like the idea of criminal or environmental, but it is early days yet so I am keeping an open mind. Thanks for the confidence

there are days when we discuss stuff in class and I feel like they are talking in a foreign language!

Here is a map of shipping lanes. Stick to those areas and you won't have a problem finding contacts.

Yeah

The Pacific is much more about patrolling specific areas than wide open expanses like SH3. The contacts are there, there just a little more difficult to find.

I´m always doing my photo mission in shallow waters at night. So far it´s been no problem getting the shots in clear weather. I haven´t been spotted yet if not using torpedos on my photo targets. I take a fast shot then I drop the scop, the up again for another. I also plan my photo mission so that I have enough time getting back to deeper water in the dark. If I arrive to late for this, I´ll wait for my time in deep water where no one sees me.

By the way when looking at the map with shipping lanes posted by Reaves, no wonder that I´ll not encounter any ships on my patrols around Aleutian Island. Have to take that transfer "downunder" before my crews moral goes under...

Clay,

For starters you need to at least leave your home port

. J/K...are you running stock traffic? If so, you should be getting quite a few contacts. I did notice however that Celebes is too quiet for stock game. Funning the slot north from Surabya to Celebes was always busy with vessels. Were are you assigned?

TM 1.7 plus patch and RSRD and I've run into 2 convoys so far both escorted by 3 or 4 DD's. I NEVER saw this stuff before RSRD and latest TM. So I'm 400 feet below 3 bloodthirsty DD's with X-ray vision

twisting and turning like a go-go dancer on amphetemines. So I can't see other ships either, but I promise I'm not bored!

When I get loose this convoy will pay. No quarter!

8th grade science, mine teaches resource, grade 3 French immersion. We lost our power back a few weeks ago, heavy wet snow. It was out about a day. We have a wood stove here so we just stayed down in the basement.

You'll make a good lawyer by the way, what component or aspect do you want to pursue.
