BRAG time. Who's the boss of tonnage ? - Page 3

chopped50ford · 07-31-07, 04:30 PM

Not sure how to find my total tonage, but I have been using TM 1.4 through out.

Im on patrol #4.

In patrol #3 alone, with TM 1.4 and Realistic Ship sinking, I hit a nice 54,000 tons. One large sinking was a ISA Battleship weighing a wopping 33000 tons.

How do you take screenshots BTW?

Ctrl-F11 takes a screenshot and puts in in the main program directory where you'll never look for it!

Each screenshot is given a separate name so you can do 100 if you want and look at them late.

@chopped50ford a nice battleship will help the tonnage numbers every time.

The only time I've seen a battleship was my first half hour of playing on full manual. The convoy full of capital ships was in a terrible position for me and I got to the convoy just in time to have it run by at 30 knots and laugh in my general direction. I popped off six shots from 2500 yards out and watched em all miss. I didn't even understand the procedure for aiming a shot yet and it's a wonder they didn't circle around and sink me.:rotfl:What's the tonnage for sinking a Tambor?

believe me when I say the battleship sinking was purely by accident. I ran into a convoy of capital ships. Shot 6 torps at the 2nd and largest battleship in the group. (The one w/ the tall and heavy superstructure)

I hit the 4th ship behind the large BB and scored (2) nice holes into the side of her hull.

I thought she was going to pull out of it, but within an hours time, she was capsized on her sized with here superstructure stuck in the mud.

It was a great feeling, but also majorly dissapointing since out of 10 torpedo shots, only (3) hit. [last one hit the stern of a Crusier and knocked off a screw. She listed a bit to the rear, but no luck with her going under.

] The rest of the time was sitting low and keeping quite until they left.

When you get to port and see this pic run your mouse over the chalk board, the board will expand and show your up to date tonnage above all AI captains.

Ctrl + F11 and it will save to your SH4 directory as a bitmap image. There are many ways of doing it but I have "PhotoImpression" which will change the bitmap to a JPEG, send the JPEG to somewhere like "Photobucket", copy and paste here in your post.

Had two-thirds battery left and was playing pattycake with Mr Destroyer. After the tenth dry run or so, I figured he's lost his teeth, so I came up to periscope depth. It seemed like he had a harder time tracking me at periscope depth! Anybody have any info on that? So I poked up the scope to see how he conducted business.

I'm still freakin about running him clear out of ashcans, but he's still plenty dangerous. Probably on the radio with his little airplane buddies or other tin cans. Earlier in the battle, when he was running at me and I shot three in a spread he outmaneuvered the torps and just ran over me. That was bad because he wasn't out of depth charges yet.

Don't want to do that again. So I waited to see how he conducted his attack. High speed approach and run over me. Lets off on the throttle after he's a hundred yards beyond me and lolligags out there. Hmmmmmm... I'll try one torpedo and see what I can do next run.

Stuck up the scope so he saw it, and just like old Ferdinand the bull he charges at 30 kt! I just lowered the scope and stayed put. Raised it after he passed. Angle on the bow 180º. Speed who cares!!! Range, mark! 400 yards. Wait one... Fire three. One up the poop chute while he's pickin his nose, eh? BOOOOOOOOOM! He lifted up and came down in two flaming pieces. How do I do this?.... @#$@##!!!! Who'da thought Google would have problems linking. Photobucket time!!!!

The Mutsuki from hell pays the price....

Ah, tis better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. This Japanese destroyer was worthy of any Limey tin can in the English Channel. It was Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier. One mistake and somebody dies. He got first shot with over 100 depth charges in dozens of deadly accurate runs with me in only 200' of water. I tried him earlier with that spread of 3 and came up empty. He almost killed me there. But he was the one that made his allotted one fatal mistake this time. Everybody's entitled to just ONE of those, you know.

I machine gunned the lifeboat. It isn't enough to destroy the boat, you must kill men who are that dangerous before they kill your friends on a future patrol. War is hell and sometimes we love it so. I'll apologize to the man upstairs when I get there, but our meeting has been posponed for now. Let me just breathe the fresh surface air and smell the smoke of victory.

"Hey Cookie, fire up that oven and get to work on our victory cake!"

"Cap, there ain't no oven on this lousy simulation. You should never buy another Ubisoft product. This damn thing ain't finished until I have an oven!"

"You should talk, Cookie, you were in the conning tower all during the attack whining about no periscope animations. Get a life, would ya? Now bake that cake. That's an order."

"Surface the boat. Course 90, speed 2/3, I'm going below. Wake me at 0500 or if we detect any aircraft."
