Ace Pace and me played our first Silent Hunter 3 MP games to-day, and
here are some pictures:

I'm about to break a T2 Tanker in half with two torps

A troopship is down by the stern after I torpedoed it with two snap shots...

Ya, that was sweet, I died pretty quickly and spent the rest of the mission screaming at Shep.

Theres some more pictures(far worse quality) Here.

EDIT: Pictures of the 2nd mission, a taskforce mission Here.

What about our first mission, I got depth charged into oblivion, and then you avenged me by blowing the Corvette that got me out of the water in the
first 5 minutes?

That was nice, but we really need to work on this whole "Destroyer is coming in and killing us" thing

Sounds like you had a lot of fun

Maybe I should consider getting this game myself.

Does it still require the horrible UBI.Com app or does it work with contemporary server browsers like ASE?

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2005-06-22 05:04pm

Ubi.com, while it is annoying, it works.

Como, do a search for Sheps SH3 quickie review, the pictures are gone, but it'll give you an idea for the tense gameplay.

Emulate the US submarine force, and kill them with a 'down the throat' shot from all forward tubes.

Done twice, effectiveness is nil with a vetren crew because you need to fire out of arming range, and they just charge and zig zag.

Fuckity fuck! We had the most awesome shot in SH3; Ace Pace was being hunted by a destroyer after sinking a CL; and I'm coming to his aid, and I set up a long distance shot, and right after I fire it, I go...

"Uh, hey, speed up a bit."

"No, wait, it's fine."

And my torpedo ends up going right above Ace Pace's VIIC's stern before
scoring a perfect hit midships on the destroyer

And then I find out that I had closed my screen capping program

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2005-06-23 02:42pm

Yep,. that was awesome, and we also eliminated a convoy, Shep will choose from my horrible pics and post them here.

EDIT: Since he dosn't seem to be posting they are TF attack and Convoy Attack.

I was working on mine.

Okay, from when Ace tried attacking a convoy in an IX, this is what I
saw through my periscope

OW.

Now for the Convoy Battle:

I'm surfacing

A ship is nailed!

I duke it out on the surface with a Flower Corvette and win

In the middle of the chaos, AcePAce and me end up passing:

Final results of the Convoy Battle:

Some more pictures of the Shep-Corvette duel.
It rocked, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta of the Flowers MG, every few seconds a BOOM from one of the two guns involved.

Killing my own flower

The NEARLY final plot

The last two holdouts

Now for the TF attack:

The first frigate goes down

Near miss that would turn the tide

Getting depth charged

That torpedo that missed? it turned around

The bow is out of the water

That near miss(of me) that shep talked about:

MKSheppard · Post by **MKSheppard** » 2005-06-23 03:22pm

That duel with the flower corvette was fun as hell, Flak, deck gun, and 4.5" fire being thrown back and forth.

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2005-06-23 03:23pm

I assume you were firing the flak, and the men were handling the deck gun?

Yup, until the flak gunner got KIA and the flak knocked out of action

Ace Pace · Post by **Ace Pace** » 2005-06-23 06:03pm

Shep is insane, who else would fight a destroyer, on the surface, with a FLAK GUN?!

pics incoming.

I gotta get this game, from what I see it rocks

Just a side note: if you lack patience, you will HATE the single player.

I will have to cope with that ... I don't really have the means to play online and I don't know if I can convince anyone to play on the metropolitan network. Most people around here are still Counterstrike maniacs and maybe some Warcraft passionates.

And I still have to train myself first before launching into full scale war

Hey, the destroyer Laffey took on a battleship with a machinegun in WWII. Dueled at 75 feet. The destroyer was eventually destroyed, but it temporarily disabled the battleship by shooting out its bridge with a 20mm cannon.

Okey, let me rephrase it to SIDE BY SIDE:

Me killing a trawler

Destroyer SHOOTING DOWN torpedoes

yeah, single player can be a test of patience (hint, save before engagements), but definitely fun if you're into this sort of thing (even on arcade styled settings it's very realistic and quite difficult).

be sure to import the red october soundtrack though. otherwise you're just not putting your soul into it.

I am getting broadband in a few short weeks - then, I must get myself a copy of SH3 and join in - unless people are up for some SH2 multiplayer - did it have MP?

I borrowed a friends copy of SH3 for a while. Truly, it, like its predecessors is a game to played while reading a novel.
