Well it just goes to show you, I guess I have no life. I've been sitting here playing (I mean testing ) v.03 Alpha and enjoying myself. The rest of you are probably sitting back and relaxing on your Sunday afternoon because you're the smart ones.
This last patrol I've been working with it seems like every time that I here our "sound" it's right after a radar contact either SJ or SD. Or am I just whistling in the dark. This career around I have command of the USS Harder. Wouldn't you know it the only thing I saw on this patrol were destroyers. I managed to get four of 'em. A couple of screenies that were pretty nice.

Sooooo... you've been on the surface, and using radar, or submerged and at radar depth? Do you remember cdsubron7, if you'd used Time Compression prior to that? Any "Crash Dive!" use? You're in a Gato boat, correct? Did you go below the thermal layer, or maybe even past test depth?...

I just used about the fourth or fifth SM in a row, and I'm able to get "The Sound" every time after I crash dive. The vocal sequence is ALL wrong if you're at periscope depth, someone comes along to try and run over your periscope, so you "Crash Dive!" to get out of the way fast... just happened. If you're already using the electrics, why would you have to secure the diesels? And I fer sure fer serttin dunn wanna be doin' no 2/3 speed in that situation. When I say "Ahead FLANK!!!, I need flank speed, and NOW... I'm in the process of trying to capture some of the replay and get it posted to ToobYu. Shouldn't take more than a couple of months for me to accomplish... back in a bit.

I would like to add that I am most appreciative of the teams' efforts to improve the game that I love. Giving it new life is a wonderful thing you do, and I eagerly await the fruits of your labors.

That's the problem with search and destroy missions for game glitches. The human brain is programmed for detecting patterns and correlations. When it doesn't find them, it makes them up. Even after your brain learns the truth, show it the pattern again and it will lie to you all over again, within seconds. Check out my video. You see with your brain, not your eyes. Your brain is an incorrigible liar! Why! Why can't we embed videos in the post like every other forum on the Internet?

Is that like quote number one and reply from above here?... Yer not that old, are you?... I'll bet you tried to embed a video... ... running the diesels while submerged, too... |;^) I'm still working on my video. We might have to have RR give a video tutorial on video making in Silent Hunter 4... |

I spent a night at the Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys demonstrating the "lying brain" syndrome with a 20" reflector telescope and the Omega Centauri globular cluster. The trick is that you use just enough magnification that the cluster fills the field of view with a black donut of space around the outside.
Now in the telescope it looks twice as good as the photo with the stars tinier than you can imagine and separated stars all the way to the core of the cluster. And the way it fills the field of view here is about right, but in a telescope the field is round, not rectangular, so the border of blackness is uniform all around. So we set up with the big scope at about 1:30 in the morning and started blathering about Omega Centauri Psychosis. Found the first innocent victim and asked "Have you ever looked at Omega Centauri?" He said "Sure, hundreds of times." "Did you know that if you look at it right you won't be able to see a single star?" Don't give me that, I've seen the same thing every time I've looked: millions of stars." That is literally true, by the way. "Let me tell you what will happen when you look (just like the paper dinosaur movie, fair warning with an exact description of the "lie."). First you'll see your millions of stars. Then as you stare at the image, after 30 seconds your brain says, there's a triangle, there's a rectangle, there's a pyramid, there's a parallellogram....... And at about 30 seconds the millions of stars crystallize into a solid three-dimensional shape. After that happens you won't be able to see a single star, no matter how you try." Remember your brain will lie to you even if you know the truth. And the depressing part of the whole shebang is that you believe the lie when you KNOW the truth. So the guy, who now thinks we're a couple screws short of an erector set reluctantly steps up to the eyepiece. (Come into our parlour, said the spider to the fly!") "What do you see?" "What do you THINK I see, a million stars, just like every other time I've done this." He's getting just a little loud and PO'd, which attracts more future victims. "Keep looking. Stare at the image for 30 seconds." We wait. He steams. "AAAAUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Holy !@#$%$#!!!" at the top of his lungs. This is gonna be a good night! This went on for four hours until sunrise. Not one person didn't see the star cluster crystallize in a second after staring at the cluster for 30 seconds. Not one person could will themselves to see a single star once the brain foisted "the lie." If they stepped away from the eyepiece for five seconds and went back, there were millions of stars......for 30 seconds. And in spite of the fact that these were the country's top amateur astronomers, experienced, educated, trained observers, every one of their brains lied to them and they believed it. Your brain sometimes is not your friend. It lies!
