SH3 U-BOAT ACE Challenge

[OrlandoM3]

Jim,

Thanks for creating a great mission. It took me three times to get in the zone and stay focused long enough to finish.

Take a look at some of these screenshots. I bagged my first T3 tanker using only one fish! 11.7 depth setting for mags on this monster!

What did you and Neal decide on for final qualifications?

I have all of the kill screenshots and final tonnage shot here.

Thanks to Neal as well!

First kill shot due north of starting position.



Ship Traffic to the south after bagging three ships to the north.



Too many contacts...running out of torps...



Liberty Shots





T3 screenshots

















Final Radar of all kills



78K Tonnage

I find I can fix this by alt-tabbing out of the game and then back in. You have to do it for each compartment though. If you're on deck and it's running slow, alt-tab and go back in and your FPS will increase a bit. When you dive and go to the helm alt-tab again. Same for periscope. Works wonders for me.

Mission Completed Sir,

This was indeed a challenging and thrilling patrol, after starting out close to the keys we quickly came upon some destoyer escorts on patrol. I ordered the crew to rig for silent running and we started waiting.

Several destroyers passed by, a few coming within 500Meters of us and still we sat silently as they paraded about like a bunch of blind cows. Shortly after a passenger liner came across our path.

I shouted "this is it" and the crew sprang to life, with our engines not daring to be set above 1/3 speed we slowly crept and creeked towards the liner, The torpedo officer was ordered to set the depth for tubes 1 and 2 to 1 meter below the hull of the beast and when it was within 500 meters we let our 2 fish fly.

Within moments there was the enormous explosion as not 1 but both of our fish found their targets. The steel beast rose up from the surface and let out a mighty roar as she split into 2 and sank towards her watery grave.

Immediately after firing our torps we turned away from all the traffic and made our depth for 100 meters. The sonarman begin calling out contacts as all the warships in the area converged on the spot the liner was sunk but we had already slipped away.

Shortly after we returned to periscope depth to find ourselves right in the middle of a line of T3 tankers and Cargo vessels. The escorts either out in front of the line as lookouts or having moved to the area of the sunken liner.

One by one we set our torps depth for 1 meter below the targets vessel hull and one by one we fired off torpedo after torpedo taking out 7 merchant/cargo vessels, before the allies could even react it was over.

It was right about this time that a squadron was spotted flying towards us. I gave the order to dive but the planes had spotted us and the destroyers now turned their wrath on us.

Depth charge after depth charge was dropped but we managed to make our escape as they set the depth for the charges too shallow and most of the charges exploded harmlessly above us.

Hours pass, the silence only interupted by the muffled sounds of depth charges exploding in the distance and the call of our sonarman announcing the contacts moving away. After a while we surfaced to replenish our batteries and oxygen and having spotted a massive armada now searching the area we took our remaining fish and sailed for home. The final tally being 8 vessels and 54,000+ tonnes of shipping sunk.

I looked in that folder and it was empty.

I sure wish one of them would come back to this thread and explain whats required rather than leaving a vauge "theres a readout on the mission in one of the files" explanation.
