How did you end your career? I was near England, east side, sunk 1 destroyer and I was under attack by airplanes... 1944, shot 1 fighter and aprox 14 B2 bombers and just when i shot down the last one, he crashed on me!:damn:
I thought that if I run 10<kts that i could get a better precision...
u-boat destroyed by collision...:damn:
Kinda embaresing....:arrgh!:

Ok, here we go. I was lolly gagg'in on the deck and ran into one of my own merchants while leaving port. I repaired the boat and sailed on. First depth charge that was by me sunk my boat. I did not see my hull integrity was super low. I should have gone back to the dock and repaired. Oh well....patrol #2

Another nice career of my friend, he was driving around the Baltic Sea and noticed the Tirpitz being there. He drove to the Tirpitz to get a close look, turned on time compression... and crashed right into the Tirpitz.
Game over.

When I was killed, Bernard survived and was captured by the Brits. They quickly bundled him into an airplane and dropped him off on a potato patch just outside Lorient, with a note to Warhawk, :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

just felt for it....I guess that's what they say when you try and take Bernard into the hospital for "special treatment" back in St. Nazaire.....
oh and Morts....
yes, I have been thinking of taking that name, mostly because I didn't took any pics of the event....:damn:

My first GWX patrol in the Med, Sighted a Large Merchant and Medium Tanker escorted by two DD's. It was Shallow water but I couldn't resist, Blew up the tanker and more slowly sunk the merchent. DD's find me instantly, keep me pinned down til Battery is down and air is almost poison.
We're going out fighting!!:arrgh!:
Battle Surface!!!:rock:
Surfaced, gun battle lasted about 30 seconds and all deck hands were killed.
But I machine gunned one of the DD's bridges first.
loosed all fish, all misses
As I was sinking they rammed over me and droped depth charges....game over
On my new careerl Im on patrol 12 and got my type IXB :D

Yes, and the note said, "Please take care of our boy, we can not afford him anymore. He likes uboats and always dreamed of being one of the crew." I accepted and started patrol #2 with the young Bernard:shifty:

surface fight with the H.M.S Rodney. Deck gun against....gee, let's see......how many cannons? well too many, that's all I know.Ha! Nice to know I'm not the only one.
I found him (her? Ship ought to be female, but with a name like Rodney...) sitting in the middle of a convoy, with one of those miserable storms going on. Visibility was down to nuttin'. I saw him in the fog, got myself situated by manuvering on the surface, then fired off a few fish at him. They hit.
Searchlights popped on. A second or two passes by, and they center right on me. A few seconds later, the first salvo splashed nearby. Must've straddled me pretty well, 'cause I didn't have enough time to dive before the second salvo slammed into my boat.
Famous last words: "There's no way they can see us in this weather..."
Most of the other times, it's been my sheer stupidity coupled with greed. Instead of slipping away quietly, I've got this need to get that one last fish out of the tubes.

Attacking a convoy...the wolf infilitrated the chicken coop and I was between two rows of merchant vessels. Let loose my eels on the 1st merchant passing in front of my bow, rotate scope and wait till last possible second before firing #5.
Meanwhile, I must've somehow ordered ahead 1/3 because next thing i know my sub has plowed into the 1st vessel I had torp'd and he takes me down with him in a handshake of death...
Woke up the wife, dog, and three goldfish with that one.:damn:

My daftest death.
I'd loosed a couple of eels at a large Merchant and she was refusing to sink, so I surfaced and started using my deck gun on it. A few shots later and my WO shouts "ship spotted". I'm thinking "I know there's a ship numpty, I can see it!" So I carry on shelling the ship. The next thing the WO shouts is that the ship is under attack.It's 1940 I can see that the Merchant is unarmed. Just as I'm thinking about throwing the WO overboard, shells start exploding all around. I look in the direction that they are coming from and see a destroyer hurtling towards me, shooting all cannons.
30 seconds later and I'm dead. :oops:
Now when my crew are using their deck gun, I'm scanning the horizon looking for trouble.

I did the same Robbo. Surfaced shooting at a merchant WO 'screams ship spotted'...DUH!.....we are shooting at it you, you, you BERNARD! I found out just like you....DD coming to the rescue :dead: I got away though on that first patrol.

I had almost the same experience. I fired a couple of torpedoes to a couple of Tankers and they were on fire. I was getting restless so I ordered the boat to the surface to finish them off with my deck gun. The only problem was that as I was breaking to the surface a couple of planes were already above me. I didn't even have time to man the flak guns or crash dive. Four bombs all direct hits and we went down again:shifty:

With all this talk of convoy's, it reminds me of another unfortunate fate. I was in the thick of a convoy in my IXB; sunk a few merch, wounded a few others. It was at night and my scope eventually got spotted from a merchant. In come the DD's. I contemplated the idea of driving myself deep when I remembered not too long back I hit a T2 in the screw, leaving her dead in the water. I figured I'd do the old hide under the merch trick. After taking a few DC's at 30m I finally reach my safe haven, and sure enough, the DD's lost me. Now call it luck or karma, but not 5 minutes after arriving to my clever hideout, I guess the T2 decided she had enough. Not only did she sink on top of me, but the explosion she made doing it sent me to the bottom (oh man was it loud). An eye for an eye I suppose. :shifty:
