Howdy fellas. Im New, here are some pics from my first patrol:

S-41 Leaving Port. View from the lighthouse.

Looking back at the lighthouse

Rise and shine! Looks like someone didn't get enough sleep!

3rd day of patrol somewhere in the Celebes Sea.

Ah finally! A break in the weather

Contact, Merchant! Bearing 292!

Trying out the Dick O' Kane Method

Set to magnetic detonation. Depth 15ft. Flooding tubes one and two!

Torpedo one is a dud sir! Torpedo two IMPACT!

Where'd all the survivors go!? Sharkfood anybody?

Wreckage stuck in the shallow depths.

Clear day, and some nice swells. Who brought their surfboard?

Great photos! They really show off SH4's graphics. Why people are waisting their time on mods for sh3, when they could work on this, is beyond me.

Sailor Steve · 10-14-08, 07:43 PM

Because graphics aren't everything. For the player a fully modded SH3 is still the only way to go for a full and rich u-boat campaign.

For the modder? Well, most of them are making the switch, so I don't see what you're fretting over. Even the GWX team is starting their work. Others are finishing mods that they started long ago, and then looking at going over themselves. You seem to be criticizing for nothing.

Well, we all try to do our part.

Ah well my first foray into the Pacific in a while. I've been caught up with other games so I decided to take the night off from working on them to relax and try and get me some Japs. Get them I did! But before I get to that some shots of my trip with the USS Gar. Currently still on patrol December 1941.
Leaving Pearl, taken from the CV deck. Hey photos aren't meant to be in colour yet!

Sunrise. Out in the middle of a beautiful Pacific ocean. Thanks Kriller!

Sunset. Love the reflection of the sun on the water

Be vewy quiet. I'm hunting japs. Had that caption in mind when I took this shot.

And now for some action shots. I started a new career. 1943, Gato class USS Silversides out of Brisbane. After reaching my assigned patrol area I got 2 contacts, both fast. This was the first I made contact with, she was steaming right up my stern but a few quick turns put her under the eyes of tubes 1 and 2.

She didn't win.
While I was destroying this guy I'd been tracking another over the horizon both on radar and hydrophones. I moved straight into position once I'd confirmed he wasn't changing course. Good thing the merchie didn't see my scope.

Yeah I see you, just wait...

Fire! Torpedo in the water. Merchant is completely unaware

Torpedo impact! The second of the two fish I shot at him strike home.

Came up to finish off with the deck gun just incase he decided to try and get away but the two fish did the job. She was completely alight by the time I broke the surface.

Two large merchants in a night, this guy had a secondary set of explosions in his engine room or somewhere astern.

And we slunk away to try and get into position to make contact with another reported merch headed east.

Man do I ever enjoy sending these guys packing for a vacation to Davy Jones Locker.

Red Devil · 10-15-08, 07:50 AM

Falkirion · 10-16-08, 04:59 PM

Gunfighter whats the story behind that collision in the U-Boot? Looks interesting since I've never had a DD come that close to ramming me. Caught a shell from a shore battery once though, wasn't pretty. Huge hole in the side of my sub.
