Ive just started my first patrol in GWX 2.1, after a week at see the only ships ive seen have been a group of 3 destroyers and a hospital ship.
I just dived to 30 meeters and let her sail by, its August 1940 btw. |

Next time you come across a destroyer that sinks you, there could be sailors on that ship who will laugh at you when you go down saying you should had sunk that hospital ship I was on a few months back. For they could be the sailors that got you bang to rights. :p

True Very True...
@VonDos I only shoot the command deck and the masts. I doubt a wounded soldier would be steering the boat.

yes, I have been tempted a few times. They are like the "carp" of the sea...nice and big, but nothing you wanna take home and cook.

Actually, at least one real submariner did it big style. Does the name Alexander Marinesko ring a bell?
Call it nemesis or just bad luck, after the sinkings of the Gustloff and the Steuben he fell in absolute disfavour with the command for reasons totally unrelated to the sinkings and his carreer as well as his whole life took a nosedive he was never able to recover. |

So should I let this one slip by? No sir, I do not.
That is no Red Cross Flag.

Tempting your nemesis = BAD IDEA! And a similar accident to remember - just google a bit about how Franz von Hipper was nicknamed after the Scarborough raid.

I say let them meet with Davy Jones What if one day those sailors drops the depth charge that sinks your boat, I say you'll be doing the fatherland a great deed by giving the enemy such a vicious blow, of course you'll be saving many of your own mens lives by sinking these men plus you'll take their hospitals out of the equation of war but then again if you would like to keep your soul then maybe don't sink them

I must admit, I have thought about it! As one American skipper said about letting a hospital ship go, "I let it go despite knowing that it had 2000 to 3000 troops with mild cases of foot fungus aboard!"

No, never. We are Kriegsmarine's Kaleuns, men of honour. War rules must be respected. Reward for sinking an Hospital Ship must be bound for a punishment batallion in East Front.
