The misfourtune of dead crew

[danurve]

Got the dual 20m Flak upgrade and of course got brave and decided to battle it out with single and sometimes dual Hurricaine attacks. While the current patrol is going good (I'll post a few thumbs/screens later) including 5 aircraft down, one of the bombers scored a close hit Im at 85% hull and killed one of my gunners.

So how do you properly deal with dead crew? In-game option to bury the dead but what happens then, is this a burial at sea how does it affect renown etc. Do you hang onto the corpse untill your near homeport or just let Sh3commander deal with it. While that might sound cold, it's just a game so my question is basicaly about the game mechanics.

On the other hand I can't help but wonder how IRL Kaleuns - Crews dealt with the dead. I mean where the boat was patrol and the circumstances had to affect what they did with corpses. Not like they had extra storage. So Im thinking a traditional burial at sea time providing.

Burial at sea was the norm when on patrol...Like you said, no space to store the body, besides, would you want to spend four weeks with a body on board?

There was a discussion on that question some time ago. In real life you would burry them at sea but if you do it SH3 won't ist the sailor as KIA. Only if you keep him aboard till your patrol is over he is shown as KIA, otherwise he never existed.

[Gezoes]

Indeed, but does it cost renown when you decide to bring the body home?

Otherwise, there's no use in not shoving them overboard.

[Brag]

If you bury him at sea, he will be listed as KIA when you return, but not on your permanent record. I doesn't affect renown

So now we know one of the primary sources of them 'shoulders' of ham hanging from the pipes :o :arrgh!:

When you return? How is that? Tha last two guys that i burry ate sea were never recorded as KIA :-?

[horrgakx]

Ho do you actually 'do' a burial at sea then?

[Dante80]

Or, shift+ double click to have the cook cut him up in 24 easily storable in the aft toilet pieces/servings. :up:

You can hang them in the CR pipes too (ctrl+ left click). The good thing is that hanging tenderizes the meat and makes meat pies richer. On the other hand though, you lose nutriecent juices through evaporation...




PS: Can we have a mod for this plz?....:rotfl:

I much prefer a nice leg of mince :lol:

cmon jimbuna dont lie.....you would go for one of the butt cheeks :rotfl: (jk)

[Jimbuna]

Rather a ham shank actually...tis much safer ;)

[horrgakx]

This is quite morbid. Thousands of sailors were killed and (even though you are joking) it is f/****king horrible suggesting eating them.

[bigboywooly]

I am quite good at burying my crew
The simplest way I found is to get sunk completely
No messy burials as they are all gone

Took the stupid decision and tried to tough it out with a couple of Sunderlands in the bay of pigs

How is the taste with mint sauce?

Alfred Baumann? Who's Alfred Baumann? Never heard of the guy, right crew...

Isn't this your post:

The beauty of this feocious explosion was amazing. You should see how many sailors are in the air at this time, thrown up off the deck - I counted over 10.


As pointed out already...some people like to have a bit fun now and then...nothing too serious...just a little high jinx from time to time :yep:
FYI my father (still alive today) served in the merchant navy and was fortunate enough to survive....yet I take no offence by your comments in the above post :nope:
Everyone has their own individual perception/understanding in what they read and I'm confident that non of the posters in this thread intended to offend anyone :nope:
Hell!...even our erstwhile mod saw the humourous side ;)
So let us all have a drink :()1: and........SINK EM ALL!! :arrgh!:

The whole submarine crew was speechless at the time including me...:huh:

When I,m back from work , I will have diner first and then I will pop up in TS

back on topic

I feel quite miserable when a dead crew is onboard of my sub...I wish you had a feature that you can give him a sailor burial...now I have to dump it somewhere hided enough so bernard will not find it.

[danurve]

You guys crack me up sometimes.
I didn't intend to start a thread on canabalism :oops:

Well as in-game creepy goes I left the kia on-board and got back to port. Not the fan-fair I expected, just had to replace lost crew. Next time this occurs I'll use the in-game bury the dead option.

Did manage to avenge the loss a bit;

Patrol results
Crew losses: 1 dead
Ships sunk: 16
Aircraft destoyed: 6
Patrol tonage: 73472 tons
