2 pointsAufweidersehen Bergen! While continuing my primary Silent Hunter 3 single player career as Richard Schepke in U-105 with the Doenitz Elite Flotilla (DEF), I'm also dipping back into my parallel career as Kommandant of U-33, Erich Pohl. This was started primarily as a try-out of the GWX OneAlex Edition mod before risking U-105, but that being done, it gives me an opportunity to try out shorter patrols earlier in the war, and with a smaller but handier Type VII boat. This career lacks the additional immersive features of a DEF patrol, not least a human role-played HQ to interact with, but is still fun. It's 25 April 1940 and we're starting from the recently-occupied port of Bergen, in Norway. Bergen's U-boat bunkers weren't built at this time but neither SH3 nor my mod represents such developments. Even so, it's a nice experience as the mod I'm using starts some patrols from inside bunkers, whether or not they should really be there. Ahead of us as we slip our virtual lines is out minesweeper escort. So, where are we going@ Oor patrol area is marine quadrat BE34, which is in the Western Aproaches. For now, though, the task is to follow our escort out to the open sea, no sinecure as Bergen lies inland of several channels between high ground. As usual, the bridge watch are initially relaxed, but become fully alert as we get beyond about 400m from out berth. It would be easy to ignore the escort, plot a course and jump into time acceleration, but for me, with a mod which simulates escorts out of port, I relish navigating my boat manually, in real time. About half-way down the channel out to the North sea, our escort turns back... ...at which point, I plot my course out to our patrol area. The Western Approaches is a choke point for merchant shipping to and from the British Isles by the southern route. So I'm hopeful of a more productive patrol than was obtained by stooging about the North Sea chasing warships. Tine to start what BdU called the Tonnage War! ...to be continued!

2 pointsSo thanks to Crusader specially, but also Piecemeal, UllyB, Wrench, and Ravenclaw, I managed to pimp my ride and get a vector RWR on Mirage5SDE. Here seen attacking a California class cruiser, the vector is pretty useful to guide you since it tells you where the "radar love" comes from. I would have likely taken that little rascal from another ship Or the next one, splashing here.

1 pointAlright, alright, alright! As we approach start date, let's keep a couple of things in mind: 1. Don't die on the first mission. 2. DON'T DIE ON THE FIRST MISSION! It happens and it sucks! I died on the third mission of the Brisfit Challenge when I was run into by a flight member in the landing pattern and let me tell you, those a*****es do. not. care. They are landing and if they have to go through you to do so they will! So let's ease into it. 3. Make sure you are all patched up! (This one is for me!) 4. I recommend getting Robert Wiggin's backup program as we have lost people due to computer crashes and other hardware failures. Check the mods page to get the link. (Or maybe Robert will put the latest link here, I don't want to give out outdated information) 5. People like to read the stories and look at the pictures and videos that are posted. So even if you have an uneventful sortie, type up a little something that adds to your character's legendarium, the more reporting the better! 6. We are skipping 2 days between each mission, so fly every three days unless one of the other conditions in the first post applies. Having said that, I am not going to be the date nazi so don't sweat it if you are day or so off, the main point is just to spread the career out over a couple of campaign months just to make it more interesting. 7. Please fill out the form at least every Saturday. You can do it as often as you like and I will just keep the last one. 8. And lucky number...uh, eight? Do keep in mind that under extreme circumstances, the SE5a will shed a wing: Still a little miffed about that one... So good luck and good luck!

1 pointHello amariani, First you need a 3d max or any other 3d software in general to do mapping of a 3d model. But if we are speaking of SF then you need 3d max 2009 and the original max file. As for the tutorial there some good ones in the net for example this is a simple and a beginner tutorial that will give you a good start to understand the process.

1 pointI'm sorry, I meant Iron Dome and the US Centurion-Phalanx, more than anything as a back up layer for those that get through Iron Dome as it is. Now that you mention it, regarding Arty, I'm not too confident in HEIT-SD rounds going reliably through the case of arty shells, and even if they switch to AP ammo like the Navy they might not detonate them, let alone self-destruct before hitting the ground.

1 pointIron Dome is a C-RAM system, and part of the IDFs IADS. they have to take regular short range attacks on home soil into account unlike the other major militaries in the world it doesnt focus on aircraft and ballistic missiles, rather it Counter Rocket Artillery and Mortars, with the Israeli focus on rockets (a tube is a tube, a box is a box. but artillery pieces and mortars stand out and can get zapped easily before use. probably why Hamas uses rockets so much, easier to hide until the launch) the genuis in Iron Dome is that it doesnt engage unless there is a high percentage that the incoming round will impact a populated area . and most rockets will go where they want, not the operator, once in flight. the footage of intercepts gets somewhat scarier if you realize that a lower percentage of intercepts are launched vs rounds incoming As for Seoul, their biggest threat a million artillery tubes (by all accounts not much of an exageration) pointed at them. priority target at the resumption of the Korean War for RoKAF and USAF is those artillery but it will take some time and the capital city will be in a world of hurt that will make the recent saturation attacks seem like a spitwad in grade school. part i never understood was how a cannon round (in the American system) or warhead is supposed to stop a 105mm or greater shell. as the commercial says, thats not how this works. but the A make the acronym sound cool so i guess that why

1 pointOver the years I have helped roughly 27 people to start making models for WOFF. I think only 1 managed to actually (almost) finish any aircraft. To make it to a decent standard, with cockpit, DM, FM, textures etc takes some dedication. We never posted pics of a Bullet, as we do not have one ;) ... well yet at least.
