shots in random order

full broadside!

Brave little bastid...

returning to base...

AVGWarhawk · 11-12-09, 11:44 AM

I have not played the surface skimmers. Does Lurker provide orders and you as the player navigates to that spot and blasts what come into range?

BTW, great shots.

Task Force · 11-12-09, 01:34 PM

Hmm, Ive gotten a mission to patrol a area... I guess its submarine missions...

Akula4745 · 11-12-09, 02:26 PM

Disregard the missions until late 1940 I think... my install keeps wanting to send me to Freemantle, Australia... and I know from previous experience that is not right. I just patrol the shipping lanes and the western approaches... it usually works out very nicely. Just remember to take out all the warships FIRST!

Sledgehammer427 · 11-12-09, 03:17 PM

Looks like you walked through that convoy

And thanks for the kind words, the mod Idea was originally mine but I had no part in what lurker has released. My original mod broke a lot of elements in Operation Monsun, so he took my idea and improved on it. I'm glad people are liking it though, that's what counts

Sgtmonkeynads · 11-12-09, 08:18 PM

I'd like to see you roll into Perth with that. Snap a picture, raise hell, and leave.

I thought I would recon Gibralter. Not much there, but it did shoot at me.

Well kudos to you both for your ingenuity and modding wisdom... I look at it like this... someone invented the engine before Henry Ford put it in the model T. Right? Anyway... thanks for getting it started! A very enjoyable diversion... besides, it is nice to be able to destroy the WHOLE convoy for a change.

Excellent screenshots. Has anyone gotten to New York Harbor and if so do you have any screenshots of New York City to share?

My last patrol was off the coast of Halifax. While I was sorely tempted to slink into New York Harbor, I decided against it. I tried it with Halifax and kept getting CTDs every time I got close. I didn't want to spend the extra time just to have more CTDs so I headed back home.

Below are some screenshots I've collected throughout my various 28 war patrols. Until recently, I didn't know how to disable the HUD. You'll notice my HUD evolving to fit my playstyle and to remain somewhat consistant with TMO.

U-48 heading out to sea from St. Nazaire in early 1941.

Somewhere off the coast of Northwestern England. One of the rare moments I'd had where my torpedo salvo actually detonated as intended.

U-48 back in St. Nazaire taking on supplies for her next patrol.

U-48 returning home for her last patrol under my command. I didn't know I was going to given the choice of accepting a VII-C or retiring on completion. Note the emblem on the side. I'd just upgraded OM to 720 and added in the OM Emblem upgrades after an SH4 hiatus.

U-255 in the mid atlantic, rushing to ambush a convoy at night. Unfortunately I don't have many screenshots before the first Turmumbau upgrade (which happened right after returning to base.) Since I'd been using RUIM, the Turmumbau upgrade bug hit me and I spent awhile trying to figure out how to fix it. I ended up starting a new patrol in Oct of 42 with a VII-C already equipped with one (same date as I was currently in anyway), then copy and pasted the info onto my existing sub. I lost my crew, but since I'd just been transfered to a new sub anyway, I figured it was a bit more realistic. Everything seems to be fixed, and RUIM is no longer installed (except the hat textures.)

Later that same evening, sneaking in at a depth of 8m.

U-255 off the cost of portugal. Out of torpedos but a full deck gun mazagine made for a rough night for this French freighter.

Despite the objections of some of my crew, a Seekatk radar system was installed aboard U-255. If the Allies really can detect it, that just means more tonnage!

U-255 in the mid Atlantic in mid 1943, enroute to Nova Scotia. While I had originally only intended to sink 2 ships of this convoy in a night attack, the escorts had other ideas. After 4 hours of frantic evasion, I managed to slip away. After all that work, I decided more tonnage was needed for the effort. Here is a shot of U-255 setting up an end around attack the following morning. I bagged two tankers and slipped away without incident. Despite that, the range limitations of the G7e have been becoming painfully apparent.

U-255 somewhere in the vicinity of grid BD55. I was supposed to rendevous with U-463 but the weather was being problematic.

After finding U-463 and returning to my plotted course, I was nearly run over by this behemoth two days later near BC54. Visibility was next to nil.

I only got a chance to fire off two torpedos (I'd forgotten to toggle autoload after the milkcow.) I was quite surprised at how deep the draft was on this bugger, the R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth. I think I set it for 11 or 12m and was fortunate they both detonated near the stern.

The bigger they are, the faster they sink. While the two G73es weren't enough to sink her, 20 deck gun rounds managed to finish her off. For an 83,000 ton ship, I was expecting it to take a lot more than it did.

U-255 in grid BD25, taking on supplies from U-487. This was the return leg of my patrol after hitting Halifax. The rest of my patrol was rather uneventful aside from dodging likely PBY and Liberator patrols.
