AAR - rowi58's reports of patrols

rowi58 · 12-20-10, 04:02 AM

Hi folks,

this is just a report from my patrols – you can call it an AAR (After Action Report) or what you would like to call it.

I'm not a friend of many words, so I would like the picture to talk to you. But it is (they are) always taken from the actual patrol within our almost favourite SH3. I know, there is a special thread for “screenshots”, with great “shots” at all. But I think – a little bit closer to “real” career - will enhance this good old game.

First of all – i'm playing with my “private” MOD CCoM – which is the mother of LSH3 V3-V5. Next – i'm always starting with “SH3_Commander,” a tool without SH3 would have been nothing. And all 54 releases of CCoM are activated with JSGME.

That's all as a foreword. The “rest” will come in this thread as picture and small text.

Career name: Erich Topp
Starting time: 01. September 193

First patrol:
Starting before the war at 01 clock AM. Got full ammunition and was wondering why at that time. We were told that there will not be a war against Great Britain. Someone lies! Leaving Kiel at night:

My dear “old” and big fat uncle – the “Sperrbrecher”. He helps me get out of Kiel.

The never finished “Graf Zeppelin” is returning from a machine trial to Kiel. What a kind of ship! Sad to say that we will never see him again:

At he dawn of day: a small German convoy heading to Kiel. Nice to see good old sailing ships:

At the first day of hostility, i've sunk a ferry ship (AG124's “Chatham Transport”). Got a 5.000 GRT+ “HighScore”:

Next “victim”. A large freighter, with some “critical” loading. But the North Sea is deep enough to hide this “freight” :

Those damned “birds” are thrilling me every time. Just in September 1939, they are still above you, keep clear of that “birds” (it is a SH5 conversion of the “Swordfish”):

Returning home to Kiel after 3 weeks of challenge. Now i've to spend 3 weeks in harbour to refit my boat. Let's see what Kiel can “offer”:

That's for the first patrol. If you would like a continuation of this “report”, i'll do it. Sorry for my “bad” English – i'll try to do it as well as possible.

Let me say: “SilentHunterIII” is still the best subsim i've ever played. Folks – keep that thing alive! I'll do so – and I know many of the great contributors to SH3 will do so, too. So – THANKS to all. Here and all over the world of SH3.

Greetings

Nice picture, and a good mission, I guess

The second patrol (from October, 13th to October, 25th), only 13 days on sea. “Good old Swede”. Don't cross my line!

A view from the engine room to the front – THANKS to “flakmonkey” for this great MOD:

My first convoy. From the LEFT to the RIGHT: Luftwaffe, Luftwaffe, my self, my self. That will happen if you call for supply (by the Luftwaffe):

Although the BdU forced me to pay the canal bill . I did it.! And I will do it again. Again and again as long as no planes are above Germany:

The Rendsburg pivot bridge. That's the reason why to play with harbours and more:

The next patrol will follow – as I got time to play (and to mod) SH3.

Greetings

Nice updates Rowi

Hi jimbuna,

i do not know much about this damed war. But i think, that you are a great contributor to this theatre. I think, if "Uncle Neal" is making some kind of this stuff "stickey", where everyone can post his carreer experiance - in a kind of an AAR as you made with all this woderfull pictures - SH3 will be still alive.

So "thanks" to all the "Super-MODS" that keep this game alive. And this story will never ever end - hope so.

Lovely stuff, Rowi. I'm glad to see you're playing, and not 'just' modding.
