Ist ja gut, Steuerbord, Backbord, die sind ja nur Kleinigkeiten ; ) - brauchst nur mehr sh3 spielzeit wiederum , dann wird´s wieder besser

It happens to us all 😂 forget what game your playing sink your own ships leave the game running go to work and your dog crash dives you into the mud 😅

Same here to be honest. I´m playing a dead is dead campaign. I wonder if we´ll even make it to 1942

The real U-55 didn't last three months, so you're doing awesome

​@@Tonci87Hey Toncs, I think I'll take this opportunity to WHOLEHEARTEDLY suggest you get a Type IX (*POST* B-model variant, whenever 'they drop', hehe) as soon as you can, or at *least* as close to the start of Operation Drumbeat as you can, so you can take part in the second 'Happy Times' (and record it for all of us to watch! 😃) Then, after terrorizing American shores, I'd advise hunting somewhere *FAR* away from Europe, and eventually even America, *particularly* as 1943 starts to roll around, judging from some of the horror stories I've heard here in these comment threads about how oppressive Allied air cover and anti-submarine efforts get 😬 Just FYI, U-177, 178, and 179, all Type IXD-2 subs, were historically completed from mid-February to mid-March of '42 - Not sure if that's modeled in-game, but I feel like it's worth a shot for one of the best skippers in the fleet to try and grab one 😉 Now, I know the IXD-2 variants have their drawbacks (mainly that they're HUGE, lol) but they also have some big plusses, too! You will have to wait a little longer than mid-March of '41 if you want a IXC/40 variant, just FYI, though if you're willing to settle for a regular old IXC, they should start becoming available... pretty soon, around mid to late '41, IIRC... Now, *I do want to mention*: I already know what many of you will say - The Type IXs, in general, are BIG. And yes, I know they're kinda pigs underwater, but they *ARE* faster on the surface, by about the same amount, IIRC. The IXD-2 and IXC/40 are even faster, too, by about a knot in the case of the IXD-2. That's not nothing! You also get 8 more torpedoes (10 more in the D-2!), a bigger deck gun (and with more ammo for it in the D-2, just FYI 😉), an extra stern tube, AND, as the icing on the cake... an extra 10 meters of max depth to play with 😙 Also, their underwater speed isn't THAT much worse than the Type VII, IMO, though I'm sure the manueverability won't win any awards :( *BUT HERE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, GUYS*: It is an established fact that U-boats are *very hard to hit* by Allied aircraft or ASW patrols if they're *NOWHERE NEAR THEM*... which is easy to do if you go and get lost 'in the boonies' in a Type IX 😜 Just my 2 cents, Tonci, for what it's worth 🙂

@@thisherehandleIdospout Good sales pitch!

@@Camcolito I mean... I WAS a salesman, so... =p

So true :D

Was ja auch realistisch ist. 👍🏻

Thank you very much :)

THIS is the Polish destroyer video you were looking for ... "I AM A POLE!" All hail the Piorun!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrKGoNSrsZO1qZc.html

@@kaboulscabal4816 But it is not the same DD as in this video.

Yeah, a shift in tactics has to happen

​@@Tonci87OR... a shift in scenery... 👀😜

Nice spot, but alas, it's the wrong class to be Garland, unfortunately - It'd be either ORP Burza or OF Ouragan. Look 'em up - Interesting stories, friend ;)

Same here as to practically shouting at the screen. Personally, I've never had much luck approaching convoys on the surface in SHIII. I always seem to get spotted. When Tonci was in such a favorable firing position with a big, fat tanker in front of him, I was like "Take the shot! TAKE THE GD SHOT!!!". Then the star shell popped... The stray torpedo hitting a tanker was a huge stroke of luck. I've had that happen, but it's rare.

Yeah you are right. I messed up the AOB

I honestly wouldn´t put it past the polish crews to fly their own flag regardless of what they were told.

I don´t know either. I still can´t believe it.

Yeah, I have no idea how that could happen to me. My concentration slipped

@@Tonci87 That pesky Polish escort was playing mind games with you.....

That is more or less due to a glitch. The game was not designed with a decks awash option in mind. It was added by mods. When you submerge the deck, the water-spray animation for submerging the boat starts to play.

The next episode will solve the "or?" Part of the question in the title ;)

You are right because despite that you need deeper depth.

How did I miss that? I can´t believe it myself 😶

No way that was Błyskawica! It is not a three-stack destroyer. It is a museum ship currently, and I had an occasion to visit it. Ship Tonci encountered either was ORP Burza or Lend-lease French ship Ouragan (borrowed to the Polish, timeframe checks out).

I’ll try

I don’t think it was very audible outside of the hull. Inside though….

I think I would need an additional mod to disable those

I messed up. I can´t believe I made that mistake

​@@Tonci87 No worries, happens to every SH kaleun at some point. Yours is still by far the best SH series I've watched, keep up the good work!

I guess it is hard to get it to be 100% historical

@@Tonci87 I'm not an expert, but seems like we're talking sometime in 1943 before airborne radar, especially at night would have been common. Just a comment. Think of it as the reality of being the hunted has arrived earlier for you than it actually did during the war.

...also AOB was set to starboard instead of port....

U boat commanders were encouraged to stay surfaced since submerging reduces your speed, mobility and situational awareness. We are at the point in history where U-boats had to adapt to new circumstances and I´m going through the same harsh lessons that real commanders had to learn.

A Flower-class corvette. It looks like this screenshot: i.ibb.co/vsJGXc0/Flower-class-Corvette-02.jpg

I think it has been answered in a few other comments

Or even dive the boat to 13 meters because I do that every time because I don’t care what I am deal with
