This reminds me how realistic CAoD was.Only an hour ago i played it (Got it to work with XP!!!I Followed a turtorial a german forum guy postet, if someone is interesstet feel free to ask) and got hit by 2 shells from the main gun of a destroyer!Damn, that boat sank so Fu*king fast.................If the pressure hull would have holden 20 meters more we would be sitting on the bottom now, dont knowing if we make it back up!

Was a type IIC.

I don't play SH3 anymore.It sucks.The Damadge model is just crap.The sounds are just crap.The crew looks like out of a comicbook.Crappy.The whole game is SH!T!!!! BULLSH!T to be exact.

CAoD is much better!Prepare for a few patrol reports (With screenshoots!!!) from CAoD!!!

Coming (But not soon!)

Command Aces of The Deep, back from the grave!YAY!!!!!

If its crap why waste your time bashing it in an SH3 forum? As to the other game, well I will say this much for SH3: I didn't have to read a German tutorial to get it to work on XP. And for "crap" its provided quite a few months of immersive bliss, "cartoony graphics", "crappy damage model", or whatever. Bottom line: its fun (at least, I'd assume, for most of us reading and posting in an SH3 forum).

errr...I`m not sure if this is the right place for SHIII bashing.
I know on subsim there is a forum for classic sims, you might want to go there.

As for the AoD vs SHIII debate it is simple for me ( I have played both for many many hours ). Out of the box/stock game the winner is AoD, but with all these amazing mods that keep coming, SHIII is growing and growing in both realism and immersion, it is becoming the ultimate submarine simulator.

When it comes to dealing with DD, just act like real life...run!

In my campaign in the 1st Folitta, starting in 1939 my first and second patrols were definitely "ones of those days".

My first patrol I sunk a Small Merchant off the coast of Firth. It took one torpedo amidships underneath the keel and went down like a rock. I surfaced and sent a patrol report, but the report failed to note that I hade sunk a ship and it tonnage so I never got credit for it. The next day during the same patrol I sunk a trawler a few KM's north. I got credit for it's measely 99 tons. I guess I shouldn't complain, but I was bummed that on my first patrol I encountered a decent sized ship and brought her down with ease just to fail to be acredited.

The second patrol was a lot worse however. I intercepted another Small Merchant during the day. She was moving away from me so I had to run on the surface in order to close with her. In doing this I blew my cover and she began to weave in order to make torpedo solutions worthless once the fish got half way there. Instead of being patient and running a sort of bow pattern to parallel her and then out flank her I loosed torpedos at her anyways. The first shot I had put into the water before she spotted me was a perfect shot, only problem was that I set the torpedo to run at a depth that was based off a Small Tanker's draft... not a Small Merchant. So it passed too far under the keel and kept going... That's what I get for being hasty.

That patrol I basically wasted five torpedos with not a single even touching my target...

Having just read The Cruel Sea (excellent book by Nicholas Monserrat), which is based on the war time exploits of a flower class corvette, they had a 4 incher up front, a couple of light machine guns on the beam, and a two pounder right aft, in addition to the depth charges. Post refit, they had a pom-pom (4 bofors 20mm cannon made into a quad mounting, basically a flak vierling), lots more machine guns and cannon, and 'Squid' depth charges, plus traditional depth charges, plus a much more advanced Asdic system added to it. At-a-glance differences are the mast on the pre-refit flower is forrard of the bridge (very un-Royal Navy like), and in the post refit, the mast is abaft the bridge.

If you are going to go shot-for-shot with a Flower, place your boat abaft their beam (about 20 degrees), and take out the pom-pom or two pounder, whilst raking the upperworks with machine gun fire. After getting rid of whatever may harm you the most, take the sensible course of action, and give her some new scuttles around the water line, and put a shell into the bridge as well, as there was no scondary command facilities on board the flower.

Try not to get so that she can train her 4 incher onto you, or else, for you, the war is over....

I go there, thanks!I never noticed that!

SH3 was fun, yes.But now i find, too many things are screwed with SH3.Yes it was fun, but on long time, CAoD is just better.A Aces of the Deep with SH3 graphics, would be my dream.Well, lets wait a few years.

I had have enougt of "Those Days"

.Never had any problem with CAoD.

But if SH4 comes out, i hope we will meet again.We will see if it will be better then SH1.

But by now, i play AOD, theres just nothing better in the moment, at least for me.

Auf Wiedersehen!Hoffentlich..............
