While on patrol I encountered a pretty standard enemy convoy, about 8-10 merchants with 4 DD's escorting, one in front, one behind, one on either side. After carefully following the convoy for about an hour, I decided to punch a hole into the soft chewy merchant center. Two fishes swam their way into the side of the DD on the convoy's "port" side, and down it went. Before the rest of the escorts came, I proceeded to fire torp after torp into the convoy while still approaching, eventually I dove under the convoy to confuse the remaining three escorts. The DD's seemed hesitant to try and plough through the merchants, some were limping from impacts and one (which I will get to in a second) was dead in the water and well on its way to the bottom.

After a gruelling cat and mouse game, I was out of torps and had to make a run for it. The order was given, and the Seadragon slowly and silently turned and began to head in the opposite direction of the convoy. I was about 20 meters under, close enough to the top so I could go to periscope depth to check the situation if necessary. I popped up to take a look, and found to my delight the remaining two DD's (I had sunk another while I was among the merchants) were at the head of the convoy. I quickly surfaced and began firing my deck gun at the wounded merchants who were still limping along. The DD's quickly spotted me, but it took them a fair bit of time to get through the convoy for a clear shot. However, I got carried away with the merchants, and I looked up to see two very angry Matsukis bearing down on me quickly. I had to act fast, I was caught out in the open. I dove and went silent, but should I keep trying to escape the convoy perimeter, or try some other tactic? Then I remembered the Medium Freighter that was dead and soon to be sinking. I had to hide, and what better place? I dove deeper and managed to get under the freighter before the DD's could get a good run over me. I stayed their, praying the hull of the medium freighter above me wouldn't give out while I was directly under it.

An hour went by. The DD's finally gave up and sped off to catch up with what remained of their convoy. I quickly scooted out from under the freighter, and just as I put about 500 meters between me and my little safe haven, it sunk, racking up one more for the Seadragon. All and all, a very exciting and fruitful patrol.

Thought that I might try to post a few more. This game lend itself to some very nice screen shots.

So, I figured it was about time to do something really original, something that noone had ever done before me, so I went after the Yamato!

Here is Part 1:

PS: Enjoy!

Nice video, stabiz. Very creative!

Doesn't take away from your fine film whatsoever, but just an observation: at the end when submerged and the skipper orders ahead 1/3 and the props start to rotate, anyone else notice they rotate in reverse?

Stabiz, those visuals remind me of how beautiful and excellent this game is!

Nice Vid Stabiz!

That one with the sinking ship is amazing. The tower looks totally real, although the flames a bit less so and the water not at all.

But yes, stunning shot. Wow.
