Glad you liked the story. I enjoyed writing it. Since I was a kid I've always liked submarines, and in particular, the US fleet boats. The Lt. Cmdr. "Hinman" of the Bowfin (in my story, not in RL) was a tribute to a fictional WWII US submarine captain an author named Harry Homewood wrote a novel about. The novel was called Final Harbour, and it hooked me on US fleet boats when I was young. Sadly, his books are out of print.

I expect I'll contribute more stories soon. I'm playing SH4 in most of my free time.

Cheers.

I especially love the battleship shot.

It just drives me crazy when I see the lack of research on the part of the devs. Midway has (and had) no lighthouses, no breakwater, no buildings to speak of, and most definitely no harbor!

There was an airstrip and a couple of docks. Submarines and destroyers could refuel there, but no battleships that I'm aware of. I wish they'd get these things right.

Midway, November 1941.

You're definitely right,but I think it would take much longer to develop the game with the accurate appearance of all the ports and harbors.We should not forget that it's still the game,for more demanding players - good simulation,but nobody is perfect.:hmm:

Actually, I deleted the airfield(s)/port object from Midway and it looks much better. I also eliminated almost all the harbor traffic.

ANY lighthouse with the lights on during the war is absurd, BTW.

As for the devs and Midway, the midway airfields/harbor is comprised of 2 special objects just for Midway. They worked HARD to make Midway that awful, it would have looked more accurate devoid of any additions at all.

I met this sub near Honshu area... Not bad! It was dead, no actions atteched to it... I had to sink her... And I didn't got it noted in my list :|

I wanted to rage Tokyo... The trip was long, but fun and full of surprises

I came to Yokosuka...

I've submerged at Yokosuka...

There was a party goin' on...

I went further a-la "This is SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA"...

I got hit pretty bad at both sides...

It took me ages to come home...

But hey, it was WAY too fun! :P

I've managed to sink:
Fuso Battleship, 34300 tons
Takao Heavy Cruiser, 15870 tons
Mogami Heavy Cruiser, 9500 tons
Shokaku Fleet Carrier, 28000 tons
and lots of other "small fish"

PS: Yes, I've cheated

:rotfl:But damn it was fun

Excellent! I can't wait to see it.

:rotfl: All the times I've admired the lighthouses in SH3 (and SH1 in Manila Bay) and I never thought of that.

You're right, of course.

After saying bad things to start this off, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They probably just wanted to add the usual 'harbor stuff', and didn't think about it at all. As long as it can ultimately be fixed, I'm happy.

MaxT.dk, those are some lovely 'rain' pics.

Wstaub, great shot as well. And welcome aboard.

And another nice one from Swat.

Why not do that again but with all realism settings on? Let's see if you can do that!
