SH3 goes gold is it just me

[Tankerace]

I always do a down the throat shot. In my 100% realism career, I have bagged close to 12 tin cans. Part of that is a I got it down almost to a science in the first Silent Hunter. Of course, when ASW gets REALLY bad, Im gonna go deep and hide.

BTW -- I think you should try marketing "Kablammo" over at subsim. Or maybe come up with a product designed to squash bugs AND retro-engineer "design decisions." That way, we could actually have useful saves.[:D]

[Tankerace]

Uh-oh..... ideas are brewing..... [:D]

[DeepSix]

Looking forward to them!

OBOY! I just ran into a now escorted convoy just West of Ireland.. several C2 and T3.. lots aof good hunting... I just love getting inside a convoy and opening up fron and back and then scooting away.. reloading and doing it all again... first time sunk 8 ships.. and my system locked up, second time got 6 and two wounded, but a dd showed up and ruined my happy time, low on torps'0' and amo.. 105 down to 6 rounds of HE time to head into port... that was cruise 10, and I am close to starting 1942.. does anyone know if there is a radar detector upgrade at some point?

[DamoclesX]

ya there are a ton of convoys there, but still not big ships for me, damnit, I want to torpedo something worth torpedoing, a nice bb, maby a carrier or to, how many damn destroyers were there in this war anyways!!! I sink so many and still you cant go anywhere without running into them.

Just returning from my first mission. I a type II with two ships sunk for 8824 tons.

Fired last two toprs at a C2 that both hit but didn't go down.

So I head for home plot course and up thespeed to 1028.

I'm think I should save as when I first tried the game I used the map to navigate out to sea and then whack right into the harbour.

But I didn't and then after thinking I'd plotted at a safe enough distance whack.......dead.......the end.

Shame that you have to manually navigate into the harbour.

Very annoyed.

[freeboy]

why do you not "esc" and end the patrol.. then zip back to base?

[wodin]

Damn didn't know you could do that.

[DeepSix]

[sarcasm]Boo! Hiss! That is much too gamey![:-] Much more realistic to sail back home yourself![:'(][/sarcasm]

Out of curiosity, do you know if you get any extra renown points or other bonus if you take the trouble to sail back home rather than ESC -> Exit? I'm still planning on sailing back, but just wondered.

[freeboy]

I think not, reknown for finnishing objectives and sinking enemy ships

[Charles2222]

Patch v1.2 is out.

[freeboy]

stupid patch made my computer reboot after I tried to start the game! worked fine the next launch though!... its 42 and the Brits are already better.. must be using surface radar.. they see me in the dark! way off through fog etc!... When does my radar detector come? ever?

[DeepSix]

I think you get a fuzzbuster with the Type XXII[;)].

Patch v1.2 is out.

It introduced escort zigzag on attack course. So no more 3 DDs sunk in one mission.[:D]

[freeboy]

I just had a long escort at night jump me in the shallows near NY... glad I had good sonar and evasion tecniques.. he lost me in the clatter and I was after a long and frightening experence able to surface.. at one point had water pooring in to the aft crew quarters.. yet the hull inteegrity stayed at 100%? odd... Also new and cool, I now have the use of star shells... this game rocks

Didn't you know that the aft quarters are also a makeshift shower? Maybe they don't consider the inner piping as part of the "hull" integrity, though bad pipes can cause flooding of course.

If you take the trouble to sail back home I think you get 100 extra renown points.

From the basic.cfg file:
CompletedPatrol=100

[freeboy]

complete patrol could be defined as returning to port, even with the "esc" key.. good ? for the "other " forum...

[UndercoverNotChickenSalad]

The game SH3 is a hit!

I love it
