Stories and Patrol Logs + Screenshots and Videos (merged)

[The General]

This image shows me kicking ass! Unfortunately, it also shows us that Taskforces and Convoys tend to huddle together and stop when attacked. Which is a flaw in the A.I. for SH4? Although, this Cruiser could've stopped to help rescue the crew from the ailing Battleship, which I valiantly slammed 4 torps into earlier that same morning. Nice huh? I particularly like the rising sun highlighting the Rising Sun.

FooFighters, those HighRez shots are JAW-DROPPING - you can even 'clearly' see the depth markers on the starboard bow!

BRAVO!

Someplace near the Line Islands. Off to Patrol the Marshalls'...again. (rummaging thru my screen shots folder)
Speaking of that messy folder, I created a file that moves your screen-shots to a temp folder for easier posting:

Hope it helps.


Apologies in advance, getting a lil punchy:

First patrol for fleet in my Gar. Off to coast of japan... But before that I sank couple merchants with gun. And then received word of convoy coming my way, maybe 10 or so merchants mainly small with 2-3 mediums and one big. Escorted by 3 destroyers in wedge in front of the convoy.

Started my attack by hitting medium split on side of convoy, so far so good. It did not sink it but everyone got wakeup. That is when things started to go horribly wrong.

Escorts did charge towards me but I managed to avoid them since I was careful and sneak deeper into convoy. Torpedo here, torpedo there... Escorts keep their nice formation and sail around, closest to about 300 meters from me and my attack periscope continuously up IN DAYLIGHT.

Eventually they left for north side of convoy, hanging around where I had done my first attack while I was in the middle of convoy. If I had my VIIC and reliable torpedoes that convoy would have been down under in moments. Now I had to waste torpedoes due to premature detonations. (I reloaded and shot all my torpedoes with realistic loading time, should tell something about passive approach of convoy, not to mention me never going silent running)

So, almost ran out of torpedoes and decided to finish few listing ships with gun. I did one peek to surface, got attacked by planes and crashed. After while tried again. No planes, no escorts (still north of convoy). I blasted away most of my ammo sinking few more ships and then sailed south still on surface. I believe those three destroyers are still there wondering what happened.

Needless to say, I was not impressed by IJN performance. Or supplies provided by USN. Having to hit dead on medium freighter with five torpedoes is ridiculous. Not to mention all the beautiful geysirs my torpedoes made out in the open far from their targets.

First of all you need to download my hi-res subskins. At this moment Gato and Balao class are finished and Salmon is in the pipeline. You can find them in the subsim SH-IV mod section.

Further about my PC, that's the good news. I don't have a monster PC.
AMD 64 3000+ (2ghz) proc, 2 GB PC3200 DDR RAM memory, XFX 7600GT 256mb PCI-E graphic card. All of these products are not really expensive anymore.
