Oh, don't know really. Excuse my ignorance, but I didn't really know that yellow stripe significants U-Boot in training or something like that as mentioned by Commander Mysenses. Or is it U-Boot crew in training? If you can provide further details I'll be happy to learn guys. But anyway I just started my absolutely first career in SH5 (SH4 completed, SH3 in December 1941 if I remember correctly my last savegame there) since the game just got into a very well playable state (thanks to all the modders, my deepest respect). And I just tried to grab some camo available in the menu, I picked those stripes there and somehow it ended up like this. No camo and yellow stripe over the conning tower instead. I'm planning to doublecheck when I get back from my first patrol (if I get back, well-Sept.1939 so I should, 40000 tons sunk so far) and do something with it, because I'd love to differ my sub somehow. And yes, I love taking screenshots, I don't use any other wallpapers on my desktop but screenshots. And with that camera zoom in modified SH5 well...can't help myself. Glad you like it, thank you.

Oh that's just wonderful, Swat, now look what you've gone and done to me! Seriously, with all of the screenies I've taken and all of the ooohing and aaaahing I've done over the beauty that is SH5, that thought never occurred to me: This sim is actually beautiful enough that you can use the screenshots for wallpapers.

As a matter of fact, the moment I read this I immediately tried out one of my own and yes, that IS the prettiest wallpaper I've ever had.

Except, of course, it won't be for very long because now I'll be spending most of my patrols hunting beautiful photo-ops instead of enemy freighters

"Why is ObLt. Misha always requesting patrols off of the coast of Norway? We took Norway a YEAR ago!"

"Something about the scenic beauty of the area, Herr Grossadmiral. At least that's what I hear. You should see some of the films he brings back for development!"



Oh, and very, very nice screenies there, Swat!

Yellow stripe designates boat of the training flotilla.

I have realism settings adjusted according to my favours and skills, but I can definitely not live without external camera. It's been like that since SH3.

What will happen to you if you play Silent Hunter too much. Especially if you have the voice command mod.

I'm addicted to screenshots too ... for all my titles ... it is like a disease for those that are addicted ... getting the right angle and setting, it's kinda like being a photographer in a way .... I have thousands of screens some saved as far back as when Quake I first went to GL back in 97 ... I just save em, and revisit every reload of OS or so .... this game is just about as beautiful (thanks to enviro mods) as FSX ... which is why this wake thing is buggin me. I don't know what is causeing this 'big paintbrush effect' on my wake:



Anyone have any idea what might be causing that?

Boy, have I ever gotten bit by the screenshot bug now.

Admittedly, this one is not nearly as artistic as some of the other contributions in this thread, I'm still working on my skills here, but it looks absolutely FANTASTIC as a wallpaper on my desktop. And that's exactly the way it looks in the game, no photoshopping at all. Damn, this sim is pretty!



Thanks for the inspiration!
