Most outragous moment
 
What is yours.
Me thinks it is to much when you can take on a Bouge class with five escorts and end up sinking them all.

Or how fun it has been leaving Bergen on my last three missions I have been caught in an air raid. Good thing for me I have lived through them all.

When I'm caught in an air raid and I order a crash dive... inside a firendly harbour.

Or fire a stern torpedo while aiming for a target infront of the boat

And the time I fell asleep while patroling and crashed into Canada

I'll ad more as soon as they happen

When I crashed dived in a XXI and in less than 5 minutes I was at 270 meters, crushing my hull instantly :shifty: .

In the middle of a storm with poor visibility I saw no less than 500m away a large merchant, ordered hard to port and barely made it without crashing into her.

Having the perfect angle to sink a battleship but I forgot to turn on the auto targeting in the solution screen, I still had the data from my last attack which ended in wasting a precious torpedo and alerting the ship :rotfl:

When i rammed a destroyer escort in a pitch black zero visibility heavy storm night...:yeah:

It was our top secret Canadian program during WW2 to develop continental submarine barriers, project was codenamed Newfoundland. :arrgh!:

crank that difficulty up to 100% with manual targeting... the result will be markedly different. :D

crack up
 
I remember once I was on submerged looking through the scope and a TF with a Southampton and Dido appeared right in front of me during a terrible storm.
One moment I am trying to tell how the bad the weather is and the next a bloody cruiser is coming in. INSTEAD of hitting C I hit S and up to the surface I came nomatter how hard I pushed C. :dead:
Mind you it looked funny in one respect the British had a heck of a time hitting me but the Dido coming was the end of me.

i had my rudders and one propellor blown off inside the firth of forth (in type II) while facing in towards Edinburgh. I had to reverse all the way to Denmark, using only up and down to perform evasions!

Any time I try to do something good for the fatherland in a schnell boote.
:damn: CL

CastleBravo 06-07-09 12:48 PM

When I stayed surfaced and using the big gun I destroyed an entire convoy, including the destroyers.

Betonov 06-07-09 01:58 PM

Damn CastleBravo, did you fired nukes at them?? :salute:

There was this one time I got caught in an air raid, two planes, and decided to fight them. Shot down one and damaged the other. As soon as I started cheering the victory over the RAF another squadron was spotted. It was six bombers. Now that was a text book case of feeling like an idiot

Thinking I was smarter than two Corvettes and "teasing" them by going flank speed at 160m and diving deeper.

They had the last laugh...

I took damage but persisted on the offensive. Aggresive acts seem to be the key.
