Hey I tried that and I couldnt quite get the angle you got

Mayhaps if you had tried at that very, very thin section to the left of my last screen shot.

Quite by accident that is exactly where I chanced to hit the reef and "almost" made it across. Could be if you hit it just there, at full speed ,you might actually make it across...but I doubt it would be without considerable damamge.

...told you it would probably blow the bow off...but I thought the fish would at least clear the tubes...

...oh well...

Moonlight Stroll

Whale watching.....at 40 ft below sea level

Anyone have directions to Albuquerque?

Putting Cromwell method to good use

Had to put 6 Mark 10s in her before she went down. Probably only needed 4 and waited it out but I was impatient and wanted to get outta there ASAP (who wouldnt with convoy with 6 escorts?) I scored a lucky propellor shot on her sister ship passing by.

I let the Japs spend one more night on their cruise before I surface at sunrise for some target practice. This is the easiest 10000 tons you'll ever get boys!

Send the last 3 fish precisly under each mast and 1 below the stack. Notice the time it took after the last impact to time she starts going down. A little more than an hour thanks to the new RFB Mechanics.

oh well ...at least we know now that the depth gage doesn't dual function as an altimeter...

Had the same problem. But I actually jumped the beach and the sub was totally out of the water! But being the resourceful country boys me and my crew are, we built a gigantic raft and rowed it back to base!

Surprise and Northampton parked together during early morning refit in Brisbane. The Northampton's felt much safer sleeping near us.

Using Kriller2's PE4 thats all, I use the camera alot to get the right position to take a screenshot like in Fog the lower you get the camera to the water can change the look of a picture try it and you'll be suprised at the results,also watch the shadows in the evening shot they to can change the way your screenshot comes out hopes this helps.

edit:also try catching a explosion just as it happens can give you different colour glow from fire.in the Fog shot It would of been different if the camera had of been higher, less colour ect:

Nice shot

Persistent gunners on that ship. Men like that would be sorely needed in the IJN instead on that rusty bucket

Arclight · 11-04-08, 01:04 AM

Every now and again you come across something really exciting...

But ofcourse, you're not always in a position to really enjoy it... (they nearly ran me over

)

Well, at least I got to enjoy the sight.

One of our flyboys was enjoying the sight as well... untill they spotted him.

<Jason> · 11-04-08, 11:57 AM

great pictures there!

Sledgehammer427 · 11-05-08, 02:03 PM

arclight...where in the world did you find that lil nugget?

i just got done raiding truk...the hairs on my arm are still standing....

Arclight · 11-05-08, 04:42 PM

If you mean where I found them; it was on my 3rd patrol with RSRDC (on top of RFB 1.52). Got orders to patrol south-west of Midway. I think this formation was part of the IJN taskforce that attacked Midway (historically, Battle of Midway). They were steaming north at 20kts, so I was never going to catch up. I hoped they would turn west to Japan at some point, and they did, but they steered an exact collision course to me, so I had to let them pass within less then 500 yards. Tried launching a spread from the stern tubes after they passed, but came under immediate fire from the DD trailing behind them.

Raiding Truk? Wow... I'm in that neighbourhood at the moment, but navigating those narrow channels leading to the harbour and then getting out alive... I don't know if I can pull that one of... :hmm:
