Default zoso791 -

Maybe this will help (sort of). I am like you - I wish I had the whole sub - heck I even wish I could keel-haul myself. If I could load myself into a torpedo tube and shoot myself out - I'd do it. Or course I wish I could use the toilet - grunts included.

Okay here is that help I mentioned: back in early 2006 I created in my mod several U-boat bases for the Pacific. The Pacific is big - really big as SH4ers know. I was using a Type XXI and so on long 36,000 kilometer patrols I was going 12 knots most of the time - often in storms for a week or until the next supply stop (you know how that goes) and this meant I would be sitting here waiting for 5000 to 6000 kilometers of ocean to be traversed between stops. Even on maximum time jump I was still sitting around going crazy. And so I started the habit of playing my DVD copy of Das Boat into on the small TV in this room - just the scenes of life inside the U-boat. But later I used another computer - lap top - to play just certain takes from that movie. You get the idea - scenes from the torpedo room, scenes of the engine rooms, and especially scenes of life in a U-boot during rough seas - as my own U-boat seemed to spend a great deal of time in them. But of course you have the little party - remember - the sailor dancing as a woman. And fight scenes. And lots of scenes with the officers sitting around going CRAZY just like I was!

But you will object that it is always the same. True. But its always the same in the SH3 command room too and believe me, the Das Boot crewmen are way more better than the SH3 crew-dummies.
