As far as I know all those screenies are legit; the subsim interview has several screenies of the .psd's and they look fantastic... amazing what some shaders and filters can do for you in game.

If you playing a campaign in sh3, and you want to score some of the big ships... try to figure out the dates that some of em where in port... and more often then not the ships will be in port... sneak in, and sink em while there refitting <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
 
Aye, I'd be use'n SH3 Generator Mod,with SH Commander 2.6 Mod.SH3 gen.gives ye inteligence reports an marks yer map with their suspected locations .Luv Sh Commander 2.6, downloaded yesterday. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Although the pic is slightly OT *different sub game* I thought you'd like to check out a near miss I had recently. My sub is the one on the top. Those Russian subs just pop out of no where its amazing.
 
That is a close call mate,would that game yer play'n be Sub Command per chance <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I was going to get SC but I got Dangerous Waters instead. It's fun but I'm still trying to learn the Sub platforms. It took me months to figure out 688i, so I guess it's no different here. Plus the Auto TMA is a bit buggy so it seems which is the worst place for a bug. But it's still fun, Russian subs are cool to play when you got the Russian mods installed, adds to the atmosphere.
 
Played 688I,great game, looked at dangerous waters,decided against,since I'm have too many games and so many upcoming games i want,just not enuff time te play em all <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
This is really kool mates,am tracking down a British convoy in the English channel,when all of a sudden luftwaffe Boys show up an start Bomb'n the hell outta the convoy,just sat back an watched the fireworks, when they were pretty much done,they managed te cripple some tankers an cargo ships plus they sunk all the escorts <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> So when most O' Smoke cleared, Surfaced me U Boat and finished some O' crippled ships with me Deck Gun, never had to fire one torp,sunk 2 x C2 Cargo, 1 x T3 Tanker, 1 x T2 Tanker, me U Boat still has full loadout of Torps <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

here's a pic of the bombing run on convoy and T3 Tanker being targeted and sunkwith U Boat deck gun

Arrrgghhh matey's, been play'n Seawolves addon fer aboot a week now, an I luv it, more gut wrench'n game play as ye can imagine, Improved high rez buildings at port as well as ships, lots O' more eye candy ter feast yer eyes on, pics doesn't due the game justice. Improved convoys, OH YEAH!. This mod doesn't make the game easier, more to look please'n te yer eyes with juicer targets. Keep in mind a few well placed Depth charges, well hope yer double jointed cause ye can kiss yer arse goodbye. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> DD are very good at working in pairs, get a fix on yer hangout an BOOM! yer dead. So yer probl'y think'n what a dumbass, ye have a sub with torps, just sink em. EHHHH ! wrong answer! Don't wanna waste a torp on measly 2000 give ur take tons <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> especially with starter sub, ye only have a loadout of 5 torps. Anyhow,I'm into my 6th patrol at this point,but figured te mention first patrol as me UBoat bagged a British battleship on my first go with this mod with 2 of my 5 torps with a Type 11A starter sub. Mission from BDU patrol grid for 24 hours,walk in the park <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ty" border="0" alt="flower.gif" /> fun starts, ye be free to go any whar else ye please, keep'n in mind yer fuel consumption, accord'n te intelligence, Battleship Nelson is PROBABLY located at Lock Ewe, so being a Cap'n O' probabilties, head fer Lock Ewe. Arrived in vicinity with a warm welcome wagon O' several DD and Corvetts bent on sending me crew an sub to deeper levels than a Uboat is capable of. Dissapointing the Royal Navy finest, Uboat 3 slid into harbour, with first look around, appeared it was a wasted trip, harbour looked empty <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> . a map picture of what was supposed to be. Red lines behind my sub is British warships
Nelson BB was not where intelligence predicted and no task force present.
[attachmentid=653]

After close PD patrolling harbour,Thar she was, all by herself,task force shown on map was not present. Eh! 1 out of 2, I'd be taken it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
Sneak'n up on BB,only 7 meters O' liquid under me keel,no whar te hide if need be.
[attachmentid=654]
Fired first salvo aim'n fer fuel tanks,missed,torp hit mid ship as she went from 0 knots to 8 knots,she started to list heavily to Port
[attachmentid=655]
2nd torpedo,aimed for ammo supply, Direct hit, blew main turrets off bow, she sunk quiker than a cannon ball chained te yer ankle <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
[attachmentid=656]

36000 tons fer BB and bagged 2 x T3 tankers on way home fer about 59000 tons total,Not bad,gonna hit that 100.000K mark soon. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Aye Officer Puupy, One of me five torps was a dud when fired at a Tanker,regular updates from BDU concerning defective torpedos early in the war help counter the problem. so it doesn't happen as often <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
[attachmentid=658]
Harrr! Matey's,ol' Skull finaly made the 100K ton club, 6th patrol had enuff renown points ter upgrade V11B type Uboat with a loadout of 14 torps.Started 7th patrol,grid BE26 and managed to sink 2 x Passenger liners,fair game as they were transport'n troops, Got depth charged ter death,well almost,cause they were docked at ports, at one point had 3 DD all over me,tons O' gut wrench'n fun <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> rest were T2 tankers,C3 ,C2 Cargo ships,an a troop transport,.It was mighty close mind ye,with 3 trops left an two T2 tankers docked,sunk the first one with one shot,leav'n me jest shy O' 100K, fired last two torps at last tanker,had ter surface me Uboat in port an finished her off with deck gun whilst DD was shell'n me from 3200 meters away.With shells fly'n about me boat,I could see water spouts off me starboard side,an I'd be tell'n ye they'd be mighty close,Finaly last taker burst inter flames,broke in half an down she went,Checked with me weapons officer an only had 8 x 88m shells left an 0 torps, tipp.n over the 100K mark, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Crap -> just found out how to 86 Starfart on this game so was looking into buying it.

My video card is expressly listed as not compatible -> Geforce .. MX
and they never released any patch for the game.
 
Excellent game RLB and yepper, NO STARFORCE. Wouldn't recommend anything less than 6600GT 3.2 Ghz CPU fer this game, Expansion pack Sea Wolves picked up at EB games fer $15.00 New not used. Check out mods at <a href="http://www.subsim.com/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.subsim.com/index.php</a>
Just bagged Illustrious Air Craft Carrier an two Auxillary cruiser at Scapa Flow, slipp'n past Sub Nets was excruciat'n,55000 tons between 3 ships 5 torps leav'n me with 9 left an not a single 88mm shell fired from me deck gun yet. Hope'n ter break 150,000 ton mark this patrol <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Silent Hunter 3 + Seawolves just arrived.
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/monkeydance.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mi" border="0" alt="monkeydance.gif" />
Joy oh joy.

Opened the Seawolves box
CD inside
Opened the CD case
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" /> LMAO
the case has no CD inside.

First time ever, got case W/O CD.

Oh well, shipped it back to Amazon already
Now I can play Grey Wolves instead.

P.S. the game came with StarFart
 
Dam, that's funny, I woulda been pissed <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Know what you will be doing this weekend. Good hunt'n RLB <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Finished first Grey Wolf patrol (campaign)

First ship sunk was a Sea Going Tug - entirely by deck gun at night.
And Grey Wolf gunnery is a bugger.

Total 20207 tonns in 7 ships
6 of these in The Minch
(the water between Scotland and the Outer Hebrides

Needless to say,
England ain't happy.

Little do they know that U-51
waited there for hours while loading the external torpedoes.
