My interest has been reignited in SH3.
I kinda forgot how to play it, I had to break the habit of using WASD to move the screen.
Diving while nailing a fishing boat with a deck gun is annoying.
I got my keyboard control back thankfully.
I am currently doing a 1939, starting with the humble IIa, I want to "earn" my way up, and I hope to survive the duration.
My first patrol was near Scapa Flow, but I sailed to Hartlepool instead.
I got there before the declaration of war, submerged and waited. I managed to use 5 fish to sink 4 decent sized ships in thier moorings.
The next 3 hours of game time was dodging depth charges, and fixing leaks.
The IIa is horrid at evasion, as you cannot go super deep. I limped back into port 2 weeks later with a modest 15k in tonnage. Impressive for such a small boat. I reckon it will be difficult from here with it, as I had the element of surprise, and sniped non moving ships.
I hear about people bagging Destroyers, and find it an exercise in sadism, I die when I try to face one, even if I get the jump on it.
I hope to last until '43....(no reloading)
But we all know that is a pipe dream.
