What's your favorite ship in the game. - Page 2

Hmm, my favourite ship I think is the Takao or Mogami cruiser. Very modern and cool looking ship. I like this smokestack which is curved. Very cool. I like the Fletcher destroyer too. I think it's the most powerful destroyer until the 1980s, with almost cruiser strength. I have to thank Silent Hunter for teaching me so much about ships and the Navy!

The finest sight in the game is if you can get the light just right on a sinking freighter!

Ah! She's a thing of beauty. Salute!

GREAT SS!

Nagato is a cool BB.

I'd go for the "Fleet Tanker" in FORTS most of the time the time thay are laiden with fuel and make a nice "boom" not very easy when you got rake's of DD's hunting you down,then you got BBs and heavy cruisers etc all over the place and you only got 1 torp left.

I saw something pretty cool yesterday. I was sailing close to Honshu and my crew sights a small merchant sailing dircetly for us. I immediately dive and as it comes into visible range I see a strange contraption on the port side of the ship. It turns out the merchant is a paddle steamer with a huge wooden wheel on the port side!! I had never seen one before and I don't think it is included in stock. Must be a product of FOTRS. At any rate, as soon as it got in range I put two Mk. 14s into it. It sunk like a rock.

I have never even seen one of those, no less attacked one.

Of all the ships in SH3 & SH4 which are pretty impressive and well rendered especially in the ‘Super Mods’, I’m partial to the U.S. Navy's 'Blimp’ airship which I first saw as a little kid (when they were still sailing out of Lakehurst NAS) playing in the sand along the Jersey shore. My dad once told me they were being used for spotting sharks, my brother said they were looking for Russian submarines, but they just plain scared the crap out of me because I was convinced that they were ‘alien’ space craft!

My next and sentimental favorite, though I don’t think the guys at Ubisoft did them justice were the ‘Elco’ Patrol Torpedo Boats (PT’s).

Here’s my redo with the authentic twin 50 cal. gun tubs and colors flying just aft of the helm. The 20mm canon aft is actually obscured the angle of the boat so it’s not properly rendered. I'm still tweaking this screenshot so it's a work in progress.

And last but not least, something that’s classic and timely, well built, low tech, and dependable but slow if you’re not in any real hurry, The Flying Dutchman!

Oh my, is that dirigible in-game? I never saw it anywhere!

Only in GWX and SH3, as far as I know. They patrol the US east coast and the Caribbean.

Yeah, that's where I found this little honey, in one of the mission patrols in GWX 3.0 (Gold Edition) for SH3 off the coast of New Jersey (which incidentally is a very difficult mission to complete without getting blown out of the water). My deck watch picked up an aircraft off in the distance and when I zoomed in for a closer look it brought back many childhood memories.

During WWII, these gentle giants were very effective at spotting and bringing guns to bear on U-Boats off the Atlantic Coast along the eastern U.S. and Lakehurst NAS was still using the 'Blimp' well into the 1960's (during the height of the Cold War).

I was playing in the sand as a tot in 1958 at the beach when the ominous shadow created by this behemoth first crossed my path as it blocked out the sun from high overhead. Once my dad convinced me that it wasn't an alien space ship from the planet 'Mongol' (the result of an active imagination and viewing too many Flash Gordon episodes on TV) I then felt safe. I once had a chance to see one up close and even sit in the gondola at Lakehurst NAS during an air show which also featured an earlier version of the 'Blue Angles' in 1962!
