Taken some decent screenshots? Let’s see them then!... But - Are they good enough to win? You won’t know unless you enter them!

The screenshot comp started with SH3 over 2years ago, now incorporates SH4 and is still going - and growing! It's the only Silent Hunter screenshot comp officially supported by Ubisoft. There are separate entry threads for unedited and edited categories.

Why should I?

Don’t you want to be a winner? Every winner receives the coveted certificate — printed on specially finished paper to recreate that authentic 'yesteryear' look and posted in a hard backed envelope to wherever they live in the world!



Timeframes?

Post your entries 1st to 16th of each month — then 17th to end of month the same thread changes for voting.

What else?

- Max 4 entries.
- No dials. Press ‘Del’ / ‘.’ on your number pad to remove dials before you take your screenshot. Press this key again to replace dials.
- Be sure you are posting in the correct comp—unedited comp for standard shots, edited comp for those you have made changes to after taking it.
- 800x600 max size, widescreen users ensure max width of 1024 pixels.

Then what?

Wait for the 17th when voting starts and see how you get on! Anyone can vote, even if you didn’t enter. Cast two votes:

1st vote awards 3 points
2nd vote awards 1 point

No voting for yourself (!) Please state who and for which screenshot you are voting for as it helps me compile the scores more quickly - i.e.

3 points: Goose Green and ‘Trawler Ablaze’
1 point: Mariuszj and ‘Torpedo Away!’

See this guide for how to post screenshots

May's winners - a tie for 1st place:

Pacific_Breeze with 'Down The Two Zeroes'


and Tambor198 with 'Red Dawn'

Thank you, thank you.

My addiction started back in high school (I won't say how long ago that was) and is now being fulfilled beginning with SH1 and continuing with SHIV.

Thoughsome of the Screenshot winners are very well done/manipulated,
It doesn't do justice to the wonderful organic feel and residual sediment/plankton/lighting effects of the animated visuals..."May's winner - PWH with 'Gas'
does come very close though!!

Steep learning curve that I actually enjoy by watching the effects at sea!

(If I had known that Trig was used in calculating the Torpedoe shots, I would have REALLY paid attention in that class!! )

As did mine. It'll date me, but I started on the old NES "Silent Service" game. (Amazing how far things have come since then. )

I was weird enough in HS to figure out how to apply trig to my Silent Service hunts.

Here's mine!!

Chasing the Dawn of War


Caught between a rock & a Hard Place!
