Let's Play Silent Hunter III - Patrol 4 - Part I

Ойындар

Captain Spunkmeyer rides again! Welcome back aboard, me hearties. Our mission: another patrol in the North Atlantic. Our enemy: France and Britain. Our weapon: U-48 and her questionable torpedoes. Our prospects: Fair to middling. Our house: in the middle of our street.
To view the first two (mostly non-video) patrols in this LP, check the thread on the Voltron Army forums:

    "What's long, hard and full of se(a)men ? You guessed it, this let's play of Silent Hunter 3." Probably one of the best and funniest intros I have ever heard on KZread.

    Glad to be of service! Be sure to play through the tutorials, especially the torpedo one. My game is also modded with a package called GWX 3.0 which adds a lot of details and features to the game. I recommend downloading that, but only after you've gotten somewhat comfortable with the stock game. Happy sinkings!

    Was it as bad as the trailers made it out to be? Cause the trailers made the subs out to be sharks. So much so that I thought they were originally going to make a "Megashark vs. WWII Convoy" movie for Syfy but decided to go with a normal WWII movie.

    At that point, Canada was it's own Dominion. We still didn't our own constitution (That wouldn't happen until the Canada Act of 1982) but we had the ability to make our own laws, and because of our status as the senior dominion as well as Canada's service in the First World War, we had a lot of independence at that point, including choosing if we were going to war against Germany (which we did).

    What's the lag like? Does it just suddenly lag for a few moments and then continue on like normal, or is it ongoing? If it's ongoing (which I'm guessing it is), it can be because the game is loading a port or a convoy. It tends to slow down noticeably if there are lots of ships or other objects that it has to load. If the lag goes away as you go further out to sea, that's probably the culprit. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

    Especially before the Norwegian campaign, I preferred the "self exposing" torpedoes to the "toy torpedoes" that likely will not detonate at all. Indeed, if those toy torpedoes had really worked, the British would have likely lost the battleship HMS Warspite during Norwegian campaign. Warspite suffered four direct hits...no damage because torpedo warheads did not detonate. For this historic fact reason, I often used the bubble trail leaving torpedoes...

    You may have better luck downloading a torrent of it if the official links aren't working. Apart from that, I'm afraid I don't have any recommendations. The standard game is perfectly fine if you can't find a way of getting GWX, but GWX really, really improves it. I hope you can find a workaround.

    The difference between the torpedoes is not just a bubble trail.... The gas torpedoes have a range of 12.5 km in slow speed and 5km in fast speed, but for fast speed the hit is 99.9% sure when the target ship is moving fast (15-21 kts). The second torpedoes are electric and they aren't fast and their range is only 5km. Their speed is slow and they're most likely to miss a target... Fucking bubbles....
