Some more pics of my beauty: VICC/42:

Patrolling near the Canary Islands:

My Radiomen reported 2 ships SE of my position, so I ordered max. speed through the rough see to catch them. Only to find out that they were neutral.......

After this I sneeked in the enemy port of Freetown. But that's a new adventure you'll here soon!!

Nice pictures of your VIIC/42
That eel on the scooner was a total waste of ammunition!
BdU won't be happy!

Thanks. I tried it with my 8.8 CM but it kept on missing it (shooting over the bloody thing), and my Flak wasn't doing a lot of damage. But hey, it's wartime, only results count! (its late 1940, no pressure yet from the HQ yet

)

Good screenshots and lol @finishing of a sailing vessel with a torpedo. That was nicely done and

for posting.

By the way you might want to try shooting from +1500m because the deckcannon can't hit the waterline from a short range.

I've never been impressed by the hitting power of the 3.7 cm flak guns in SH3 when used against shipping.

Come to think of it, all my aircraft kills have been from the 20mm too. I'll have to set up a trial with 37mm vs. a Sunderland.

In real life, a few hits from a 37mm HE shell would pulverize a sailboat. An armor-piercing round, on the other hand, would just plow completely through it without much effect.

I realised that later, but I was in the perfect position for a torpedo, so "open tube 1, fire!"

I'll just add that it is totally useless to sink sailboats like that. They aren't carrying cargo or war materials, and were generally avoided by U-boats, if I remember correctly.

Welcome Aboard! Glad you like the screenshots! I take lots of them but, most never make it past a first look. I only post the best of them here.

I know that it is useless and not historical, don't worry. It's just a game.....
