All the very best mate......you and the rest of the dev team have certainly earned it

So what do you do when the target isn't worth a torpedo, and the weather doesnt allow you to man your guns to turn him into matchsticks?

I'd have gotten some better screenshots but ive started to play with the free camera OFF. Its acutally more fun to me that way. No credit for the sinking, but it was damn fun. No damage to the uboat either. Not a scratch. Ordinally i woudlnt do something like that, but in a steel vs wood scenario, i figured id win. Took me a few attempts, rammed him about 2 or 3 times before he finally went under.

Recently ive decieded to give up IX uboats and Caribean romp's (Where ive spent a good portion of my time in SH3 for the last year, time to do something new

), and stepped down into a type 7 and the med. Im gonna make that my new playground. I just dont have the time or patience anymore for super long range, 80 to 120 days at sea, carribean patrols. I think thats one reason im so burnt out on this game. yet i still play.

Anyway, first patrol, 10/41. Sound contact. Turns out to be a small convoy. And im in the PERFECT intercept position. So i work my way in. After several perisocope observations, heres what im seeing.

Pretty sweet huh? Doesnt get much better then that.

DO you see what i see? I started smacking my lips.

Up until i get in closer and saw the bloody flags the ships were flying.
A WHOLE FRICKING ITALIAN CONVOY. I think this is a defining moment for the word, "torture."

ohh, Ive been there. I saw my first ever capital ship at sea a few weeks ago. It was doing 25knts with many destroyers around it.
Range: 1500m
AOB: 180*
PERFECT!
The only problem was the German flag on the top

:rotfl:Nothing's more annoying than friendly convoys and task forces

.

I met one in the Black Sea and stuck with it until it'd almost reached port, for protection's sake. But yes, it has to be annoying to set up this perfect attack only to see a German or Italian or other Axis flag atop the vessel.

Re the sail boat: I love how the watchman looks off to starboard as if he can't see the bloody thing. I can picture him five minutes later going "Kaleun to Brücke! There's wreckage all over our front deck! ...No, no idea where it came from, Herr Kaleun!"
