I'd get a Geforce 6600 / GT in that machine of yours, you'll be amazed at the improvement.

(Obviously, if your rich, a 6800 Ultra!)   ;) ;D

LMAO.............just intercepted my first Convoy today. It was great!!.............Slipped a few "fishes" and sunk a large C2 Merchant and couple smaller coastal merchants.

Dove and went under convoy to other side so Destroyer couldn't find me.

Few more "fishes" and sank a C3 Merhant vessel, another Coastal Merchant and a tanker.

Total tonage downed on that patrol was almost 34,000 tons.

WHOOOT!!   ;D

May I ask how you guys got this thing to work?
My install key is useless!
I know I have tried at least 20 times.
I got it at Best-Buy here in the states.
And I'm real close to re-turning it! I've been at it now for 3 hours going thru the their forums. Of which everybody seems to have the same problem, but no answer?

All,

Wish I would've know you guys were buying it. I'm getting ready to sell my copy on EBay this week. Could've saved us both some money.

How do you guys manage the torpedos?

I just bought a copy of SH3 and I keep screwing up on the torpedo shots. And to make things worse, the boats move away too fast and dissappear so I had to swim all around the area but found nothing.

Katahu,

You have to get close enough so that you can't miss but stay far enough away so that the enemy doesn't detect you and start a zig zag course.  When you are within, say 1000 Metres fire a spread over 3 or four degrees, that should be enough to get at least one hit.

Can you download a nuke, say like the Los Angeles class or maybe a boomer?

Bubblehead

By the way, sub sailors are called "bubbleheads" after the glass leveler with which we watch the bubble to meet the ordered down/up angle using the bow and the stern planes.
Other names for sub sailors are: "sewer pipe sailors" or "bottom guners".

By the way, what type  sub is used in the Silent Hunter III? US, German, British, Japanese?

From the looks of it, you're fighting as the Germans.
