I agree, nice work Hellmut. There is a SS competition at the SH4 forums, you should enter.

I might enter the compitition, of course I'd have to go through my collection of 300+ screenshots to pick the best ones. Also question/suggestion why don't we have some sort of annual screenshot competition here on Subsim?

One of those rare calm, clear nights in the Pacific. I'm loving this game so much already... and I'm still on my first sub! Here's the USS Perch looking for merchants on her third patrol of the war.

An unescorted troop transport at 9,000 tons...Who wouldn't shoot at it?!
This ship became the USS Balao's 32nd victim, from December 8, 1941 to March 22, 1943 the Balao and her crew have sunk 33 merchants and 10 warships.

My guess is your video card is overheating, could be dust, fan going bad or the card itself, I would check it out.

Mine did the exact same thing, can't find the SS of my metal faced men, but here are a few. Funny, the bubbles in the bow wake were either mens faces or dials.

That last pic looks like the inside of my brain when I first tried to learn manual targetting.

How to fix what?
This is the Screen Shot thread. People usually only come here to view or post a SS.
Try starting a thread in the regular forum, you'll probably get more answers there.
