OK, let me explain. First my specs

You can see it. It is not extraordinary, the machine is getting old. The video card is a low entry one, very cheap
But pay attention to the following:

Two mods that I use always are not listed:
a) Tex - Uniforms insignia and medals Mk 2 - by Aces (You see it in the pics)
b) Tex - Rain gear with gloves - by Gian
I removed Pascal's explosions & smoke because it did not convince me. So, I use the AIL's mods.
All these mods do not conflict each other.

My pics are not retouched. I don't know how to use Photoshop yet. The only graphic software that I use is Paint, Irfanview and Autocad; because I know how to employ them.
The lower image is result of a video driver's glitch.

I'll post a few here...


So, so close...



Ammo ship


Fiji goin' down


Magazine hit...


Another sunrise...

[Justin Prince]

A few of mine, from an MP game.

Me in the Type VII using a blown up Type II for cover (it was a deathmatch game:



Me again in a Type VII, trying to watch out for a Type IX driver:




Not a very good one, but what a tin can looks like at 1,000 feet after eating a torpedo:

[Dowly]

"Umm... herr kaleun... is that... is that EARTH!?"


5 seconds later yet another sunken U-boot was reported to BdU

[ICBM]

These 2 pilots forgot that they where not playing Crimson Sky..


How cool is this, 3 ships a row hit, the last one was taken by a stray torp wich missed the seccond ship.

[Wolf52]

Came across a small merchant in heavy seas, usually i dont engage but i wanted to use up my torps so i went after it. I set the torp to 3 meters depth at fast speed setting, waited till 0 gyroangle then fired just forward of the bridge. Look:



The broken off part whipped off the ship like somebody released a huge spring. The plume from the explosion barely reached the bridge and it looked like it does in the shot. Weirdest thing ive ever seen.

Seven bombs fall.



No parachutes?

[Sturm]

[Dowly]

We sank to 220 meters before flooding was under control and after blowing ballast four times, our boat was finally starting to raise.





All this because of a C3 I damaged!

Holy crap! I can almost see the sweat trickling down your crewman's face as he looks at the dive guage.

But hey ... I didn't know you could blow the ballast more than once! I thought if you blew it, it was, you know ... blown.

Did doing it more than once really help, you think?
