Yeah I remember back in stock SH3 if you stayed at periscope depth escorts would drive by you and drop depth charges with their depths set so low they would often blow their own ship up with them.

Fire damage mod? Is that in Subsim downloads?
Hit a town class in 1941 near Wales with a lucky magnetic stern shot and stern awash, ablaze and only making 6 knots she made off toward Dublin. Followed it the width of Irish Sea yet refused to founder. Risky few deck gun shots from just inside visual range at night finished her off before I started taking hits.
Sounds like a good mod. Ive got plenty of patience...

I can't remember what it's called but it's a mod that is supposed to allow fire to damage objects.

I have been skeptical of its effectiveness, however, as I have set aircraft on fire and watched them fly away over the horizon while on fire, like a burning marshmallow sailing through the air.

I'm not entirely convinced it is working. It may be some other mod has stomped on it.

I am about to start a new Mediterranean campaign. I have been playing so much in the Atlantic I need a change of scenery.

Riccardo1975 · 08-02-14, 01:23 PM

I tried the Med after sinking a few thousand tonnes north of Tangiers. Didnt find much. Went as far as Malta then turned back.
Hope you have better luck!

It has taken three years now... but I have finally managed to hit a moving target with manual torpedo targeting.

Riccardo1975 · 08-06-14, 03:51 PM

That is impressive. Hats off to you Kaleun Missing Name. I always let my weapons officer see to all that...

Anybody think attacking New York harbour in May 1942 will be a good idea. Does it have mines/ASW booms in place? Only got 40k and need to sink a few more tankers. :p

Otto Fuhrmann · 08-07-14, 06:11 AM

I've never actually tried that before. Try it out and report back to us here at the BdU

(fresh install with GWX)
U-42 Under the command of Kurt Henning has just completed sea trials. She will be put to sea later this evening. The supplies are being loaded and papers are being checked and signed.

After opening my orders (before I left... I won't tell if you don't) We are to proceed to Grid AM18..

Rumor has it our forces will be invading Poland any time now.
The men are uneasy..

At least we get a good send off song.

Just found this amongst the XO's Record Collection he brought aboard.
<- lets hope we don't need it...

Anyway my crew are calling.. Time to make final preparations before we disembark. We have a long trip down Kiel Canal.

Otto Fuhrmann · 08-07-14, 12:52 PM

Viel glück, Kameraden!

Pappy55 · 08-08-14, 07:49 AM

So we are on route to the patrol area. We are somewhere off the coast off Norway around Bergen.. (I was there for real 1 week ago)

Going to my patrol area via the Dover Strait would be a bad idea.

So in deeper waters I decided to test the crush depth of the boat..

Reaches 180 meters before the crew told me were at max depth.. I carried in till 220 and I got a waring that I was too deep. Ordered a more shallow depth.. needle carried on going down.

Quickly I ordered emergency surface...

I now have some idea how deep I can go.. But we all need a change of trousers..

Start of every patrol, once in 1000m+ water west of Lorient, I crash dive to 220m. Ahead standard to 200, 1/3 to 210 then Slow to 220. Full damage control team at action stations with my finger on the blow ballast button. Always good to know how far to go when the Black Swans start dropping the good news...

Good news, ha!
Aren't they so eager to share the latest editions?
