Nice screenies Junglist. You woudn't by chance have been the Junglist that appeared on ABC TV's Good Game?

Thanks.
No, i'm not. I'm from Moscow actually, and never appear on any TVs

So during my bi-hourly hydrophone check I detected a merchant contact to my south.

I surfaced and moved in for intercept. After a while I was within visual contact and saw there was a convoy of 5 steamers, unescorted! Hurrah!

I moved ahead and got into position. Locked in details on the lead ships and waited. As they passed I launched my torpedoes. The far one missed since I misidentified the ship and it passed below it, but I nailed the close merchant. At this point though I have one rear torpedo left and no gun rounds. So, I just sit there and watch the convoy pass waiting for the stricken merchant to sink.

Just than one of my lookouts called "Escort sighted!" "That's odd," I think because there weren't any escorts near when I started to attack. I glance in the direction of the contact and FIVE destroyers are doing 34kts RIGHT at me!

I scream "ALAAARRRRRMMM!!!" and nothing happens.

Ah ha! So I scramble to the hatch and go down it, THEN scream "ALAAAARRRRMMM!!!" and we crash dive...

Bit of testing, did some "work" on a periscope mod and got settled in at BtS. New place to host and a new place to spam. :lol:

While underway for my next patrol, ran into task force. QE battleship, in all her glory. Came creaping in, less then a KM off her course, 45 AOB solution, perfect. Escorts not a chance to detect me and she had no chance to evade.

Let loose a salvo of 3 torpedoes, all hit: 1 clipped the bow, 1 struck at the second battery and the third struck just behind the superstructure near the third battery.

After 30 min, she was barely listing and steaming at 11kts. Granted, she started out at 15 and was maneuvering, but still. :nope:

*sigh* back to the drawing board. Think I'll leave the escorts for now and focus on the large warships first.

Once, after doing some evading, I decided to surface without doing a hydrophone and periscope sweep. I instantly started taking damage. Checking external view, I realized I had surfaced between two destroyers -- one was a few metres ahead of me, one was a few metres astern. I was headed in the same direction as them. I can just picture the scene on the ship behind me...

"Captain, enemy sub joining our formation, twelve o' clock!"
"Damnit! Radio, signal the u-boat and tell them to get the heck out of there! The spacing between warships in coloumn formation is a 100 metres, and Allied Destroyer formations are only comprised of Allied Destroyers:damn:! I'll have his head for messing with our routines this way!"

Agreed, definately needs some work!

What graphics cards are you guys using?
I have a ATI 4870X2. But can't seem to get rid of the jaggies how hard i try.
I have everything ticked and AA turned up as high it will go in game and in CCC.
Am using the 9.11 driver set.

Any ideas?

Nice story here !
How was the ending ? Did you escape safe ?

Just about photorealistic! Was that Photoshopped?

I have to admit, some of these screen shots are making it difficult for me not to buy the game. :up:
