@SailorSteve: Found version 7.7 of it...is it possible to add it in my started campaign or is it going to crash?

Nice pictures @HW3

@VONHARRIS: Danke Herr Admiral

If they could fire torpedos, these and other small boats would have sunk me about 10 times already...these small things are more dangoures then aircraft because at range over 1500 m heading directly at you its impossible to hit them because of their speed and size.


After refulling at Wilhelmshaven (i added SH5 water too, looks much better) i headed for the atlantic again and spotted a small task force on the radar moving NE trough "Hebriden"-Channel...i tried to face them when they leave the channel at "Stornoway"...




...But somehow they didn´t came out again so i decided to move in and ask them why...




...but nothing showed up instead of a small patrol boat...strange...can i miss them at that nice weather?




After leaving the channel the atlantic held me welcome with some nice weather:




And now i got something big on the radar but weather was getting worse...




...everybody was searching for that convoy...




...until a destroyer came out of the fog fireing and almost run into me:




With some help from friendly destoryer i spotted the convoy:




And i was able to sink the cruiser before he could even fire a single shot...



...but after that fuel was running out an i decided to use the bad weather days to refuel at the "Thalia" supplier at Cadiz:

Dx9HighRes/SH5 water&sky...and a special mix of tomato ketchup and fish eggs looking like this.

Just a joke, i packed up the stuff im using, dl here: 4jaxa


When refueling at Cadiz we recived new orders to chase a task force of 3 battleships moving to portsmouth. But even with major speed and 2 days to the mouth of the channel there is nothing on the radar. After another 2 days partol at the entrance to the channel and sinking 2 merchants we are moving NW to supplier at greenland for fuel.











After refueling we moving SE and then along the convoy route CU,SC to northern america with 1/3 fuel saving battlecrusier mode. At BB96 spotting a big convoy on the radar and after moving in sight we spotting a Revenge class battleship supporting the convoy. After oppening fire at 12000 m and 45 min fire exchange the Revenge class sinks and the convoy is destroyed.








Before heading back to the greenland supplier for fuel, repair and ammo im taking a short visit to the low defended port of "St. Johns"

Many thanks Succat

Starting from supplier at greenland heading SE to meat with convoy route CU/SC




As soon as i arrived i spotted one on the radar. Defended by 4 "black swan" i recived serval hits







After moving along the convoy route PQ around island and then south along HG i was able so locate and sink two other convoys








After these combat actions i was almost out of fuel and ammo and heading NE with 18 kn to supplier in "Vigo". After getting in sight of a small french group i was almost hit and heavily damaged by a single portugese plane.








Arrving at Vigo out of fuel and low on ammo with small damages serval spanish and portugese ships went from neutral to enemy and i got to sink em before reciving supplies.




After 3 weeks on sea finally arrived at Vigo ...

August 1940, U-124 left Wilhelmshaven

Under Iron sky, in the Iron sea...

Near the Gibraltar

And then attack from the air...

Strike force - Hood, Illustrious, Warspite, Fiji and Southampton

Strong escort...

Hood goes to the bottom after a third torpedo...

One torpedo enters the Illustrious

Later there is a convoy from Gibraltar...

In the center of the convoy - liner Queen Mary

British S-class submarine in the convoy

And the light cruiser Scylla too...

Liner Queen Mary

The battle began at night...

Queen Mary sinking...

Оn the hunt for a single ships at Gibraltar

Cargo/Passenger express

U-124 is the firing of a deck gun...

[Cybermat47]

succat, what ship are you in? Have you somehow given the Scharnhorst or Gneisenau 15-inch guns? If so, good job!

[Succat]

I have to tell you guys this story, SH is normaly a game about war and theres not so much to laugh but today was just funny.

This morning i tryed to sink a single merchant in SH4 with torp on realistic settings, i falied...like 3 times and gave up (i saved the game so maybe next time).

Now i started SH3 and the single mission "Bismarck" to try something, 2x destroyers and battleships Nelson and King George (i gues) hunting the Bismarck.

When i started the mission, i went to periscope and just fired two torpedos without aiming at something, just straight ahead. After that i checked the sub and the ships on surface fireing on each other so i went back to periscope. Nelson already passed me and King George was right in front of me fireing and aiming with the spotlights. I fired another torpedo without aiming on him. Right after that, i recived the message of torpedo hit (remember, the first two was just fired when starting the mission without even looking on the surface). A tribal-class destroyer was hit right in the middle and sinking after the hit.




Normaly i was about to end the mission now but because the second destroyer made a run for me fireing and damaging the flak gun and the turret i was thinking: "Okay you started it, lets end it." I looked for the second destroyer and he was about the run into me, i was hitting abnormal speed ahead and diving to 89m.






When i was about to dive, got the message second torpedo also hit, right into King George!




Nelson in the mean time was leaving the battle and exercising glorious english naval warfare: "When carring 3 big turrets on the bow, better show the enemy the aft with the small ones."




The destroyer dropped waterbombs when passing over me but nothing happed, he was taking a hard circle at full speed and almost run into King George.




After King Geroge passed, the destroyer went full speed again but i was already on silent running, he searched for me but was getting to close to the heavily hit Bismarck but she was still able to fight and dont waited for long and sunk him with a broadside.




After i saw that with external camera i went back to full speed ended silent running and got back to perescope right next to King George.




I hit the rudder hart to starboard until the aft torpedo tube, the only still loaded, aimed at him and fired, it was a hit!






Everybody had to work on loading torpedos now:




I went back aiming with front torpedo tupes on him and fired again, hit again and he sunk!






Finally there is to say, Bismarck survived almost as a wreck but able to escape because Nelson couldnt sink here with the small caliber from the aft guns.




The half day long i was trying to sink that merchant and now i sunk two big fishes without even aming on them



Okay but now the reason why i started that mission, the sub interior mods from Aces, so beautiful! Im gonna start a campaign with a sub again just to play with that mod! Big thanks for that awsome mod! I hope you continue your work!
