Grunty -> Submarine aces (8/5/2005 2:47:42 PM)

I started this thread one year ago.. I will start it again.. When can we expect submarine aces list .. verdamte! War in the Pacific was not won just by airforce you know?

... Dear programmers I recommend you all read a book "Silent victory" by an american expert submarine historian (can't remember his name now).... you might learn something new..

WitP 2, my educated guess is somewhere between version 2.3 and 2.5012beta.
Hope that helps.

pauk -> RE: Submarine aces (8/5/2005 9:07:14 PM)

i suggest longest live submarines list, rather then aces list[:D]



EUBanana -> RE: Submarine aces (8/5/2005 11:47:55 PM)

USS Wahoo is doing a damn good job in my game. [;)]



marky -> RE: Submarine aces (8/6/2005 2:33:05 AM)

the wahoo has nothin on wat my boat has done in Silent Hunter 3[:D]

ive sunk 500,000 + tons of allied shipping[:D]

ive even snuk into scapa flow a few times and torpped sum destroyers, biggest targets i could find



marky -> RE: Submarine aces (8/6/2005 2:38:11 AM)

but out of curiosity, wat has ur wahoo done?



Drex -> RE: Submarine aces (8/6/2005 2:56:30 AM)

Sorry Grunty I brought the subject up in UV years? ago.



EUBanana -> RE: Submarine aces (8/6/2005 4:54:38 AM)

I've had Wahoo sitting off the Home Islands, just to the west. First war patrol, Wahoo is now out of torpedoes and going home.

All the torpedoes hit, all of them exploded - I remember an AO and one TK were hit by Wahoo, and there was a deck gun engagement with an AK as well, and she tangled with a Jap ASW TF - and sunk a minesweeper.

Probably not as good as the long term scores that my Dutch submarines have racked up (its end of Sep 42, and I've had them welded to the coast off Saigon, they bag a TK every so often as well) but for one war patrol Wahoo has done damn well.

When she gets home a radar is gettig put on as well, so the Japs better fear. [:D]



joey -> RE: Submarine aces (8/6/2005 5:37:54 AM)

Sounds a little like the exploits of the real Wahoo in WWII.

indeed

history repeats my friends



EUBanana -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 1:01:06 AM)

Well, RL Wahoo was off Truk I think.

I dont have much luck putting subs around Truk.

Saigon, Java Sea and Home Islands seem to get results.



Iridium -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 4:36:38 AM)

Recall this photo...one of the most sucessfull Japanese sub attacks were conducted from this torpedo room.

marky -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 6:43:42 AM)

boat that sank the Wasp? I-26 IIRC?



marky -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 6:43:26 AM)

I-26 also sank the Juneau IIRC, with the 4 Sullivan brothers...

~S~




Iridium -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 6:43:53 AM)

One of, not that particular one though.



marky -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 6:44:40 AM)

I-58?

Iridium -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 6:52:08 PM)

yup This was taken as the I-58 was about to be scrapped in '46.



marky -> RE: Submarine aces (8/7/2005 11:13:44 PM)

[:D][8D][sm=00000436.gif]

oo

any1 ever see the movie called Mission OF The Shark?

its about Indy as she made her run to deliver the bomb



jwilkerson -> RE: Submarine aces (8/10/2005 8:32:18 AM)

Hum,

I have a book containing this picture that says it is of I58 , which sank the Indianapolis ( july '45 )

of course pictures never lie - only captions do ...

But I'd be curious to resolve which is correct.

My book in question is

Padfield, Peter, War Beneath the Sea, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., NYC, 1998

What is your source ?

Well for some reason I can't find my source atm...[:@]

I can tell you that the source did state that it was the I-58, and that the photo was taken in '46 when the sub was waiting to be scrapped after the war.

In no way was I saying that it didn't sink the Indie.

EDIT: Ah, kinda odd place for it: Japanese Torpedo Section
