RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - Iwo Jim - 09-27-2007 A interesting sight for you subsimers out there...http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/U505/virtualtour/vr_tour/index.html# RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - wigam - 09-27-2007 very cool Jim..:cool2: On Silent Hunter III there is actually a mission you can play called U-505. I think it goes along the lines of avoiding capture. :pirate: RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - General SP - 09-27-2007 I always buy my gear from Newegg.com - good prices and if you do pay attention to the reviews people post. It helps to make a good decision. As for Vista, I love it! With each major patch it gets better and better. Itunes & quicktime issues are now fixed and I am almost tempted to tryt he 64 bit again. The next machine I build will be a quad core and still will go SLI of course. Also Chris, every patch they have been throwing out has made some older programs work now :) RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - Fubar - 09-27-2007 Iwo Jim Wrote:A interesting sight for you subsimers out there...http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/U505/virtualtour/vr_tour/index.html# Crackin' find.....i never realized how accurate the interiors in SH3 were.  Is the big gap in the control room where the TDC should be....just along from the chart table ? 
RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - RedDevil - 10-02-2007 Amazing..after all this time.. I've finally managed to sink a ship!!!!! I sank a large European cruise ship (18k+tons) flying the Japanese flag off the coast of Borneo and avoided the 3 destroyers protecting it.. Oh happy day.. sadly tho, I managed to shoot off 2 torps into the wild blue without any targets (damn enter button).. but I won't mention them in my report.. I shot a 4 torp spread at the liner that all missed astern.. then swung the sub around and launched 2 more, of which both hit square in the middle and slowed it down to a crawl.. I slipped my sub back around and crawled up next to the liner and hid from the escorts while we reloaded a tube after which I moved off to the side and let fly another into the opposite broad side of the sitting duck (it was under way, speed estimated @ 2 knots) and in a spectacular explosion it went down within seconds (real sinking time option is on) the escorts being on the opposite side of the liner, never saw or heard me as I slipped away until nightfall to surface and clear the air.. :) Total submerged time approaching and escaping was over 9 hours. Not a bad game after all :P now SH 3 has me irritated as I can't slip past Scapa Flow and out into the Atlantic.. I keep getting detected and sunk by wandering destroyers :( of course the 18 meter water depth isn't helping I guess..

I have had my torps in SH4 screw off to never land too, it is like the targeting computer won't clear. For SH3 you can't go between Scotland and Scapa Flow, you must go way north, the Bismarck route. You can sneak through at silent running speed, but then you have to risk surfacing to charge batteries and clear air. Hey, did you know that a player thought the crew fatigue method was wrong, so he set SH3 to real time and played it straight for three days. He would do a 4 hour shift like the game does, then do what ever or sleep while the game went on, and then go sit in front of the computer for 4 more hours etc. After 3 days he still had no action and was pretty damn tired. Man, the balls. RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - Fubar - 10-03-2007 I'm not sure if that's dedication or sadness. :conf: Can't wait to see what SH4 is like when i get my new PC. :rolleyes:
RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - RedDevil - 10-03-2007 I just nuked a 34k ton Fuso class battleship with an incredible 4 shot spread that all hit in the rear area and blew the stern off the bastard along with several HUGE explosions that blew all sorts of debris into the sky.. and it went down in less time than the Liner did.. is this some sort of bug? avoiding the 15 destroyers was a feat worthy of the gods let me tell you... down to 60 % fuel and 4 torps.. I did sink a little freighter with my deck gun and am stalking another slow poke freighter now.. I plan on taking him down shortly :) I suppose I better go do some PBEMs tho before my OPPs declare me MIA.. 
RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - wigam - 10-03-2007 I am on my 7th mission in carrer mode in SH3. I have 19 k of tonage on my sheet and have just upgraded to a VIIc class boat. just gone early 1940, and i havent gone out of the north sea. No convoys have been made up yet as far as i can tell. Also got divebombed by a fighter with some depth charges, bit of a shock.:eek1: RE: 1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3 - Fubar - 10-03-2007 ALLLLAAAARRRRMMMMMMM Just watched Das Boot special edition for the first time.......sweet. :cantswim:
