Hi guys 2 smallish probs with GWX, which i have at 1.02. Anyways first one is this last night after completing a very very good patrol was heading home to Willi at 1024X time compression. Any way just got to of north of the hebrides maybe 30 miles and bang your dead. So ur asking what happened? easy i died from a collison but my lookouts nor radar or nada picked up a single ship so i seem to have died from a phantom collison.
Ok second problem this has happened while exiting Willi. This is where both my Escort and a Schnel boot have home in on me like big ole magnets and rammed me for some bizzare reason no matter what avoidance i use. This has happened either singularly or with both at same time but only twice now.
Oh and while i remmeber last night My escort decided to fire on me for some bizzare reason i had to go to periscope depth while leaving willi what with that?
Well thats it guys just thought i would let ya know whats what.:up:

1) Mines?
2) I've never heard of this before. Schnell Boot's crew had too much Becks and Schnapps? Interesting...
3) Same as 2)?

Ok to answer your questions:
1: No not mines it said you collided with another ship.
2: Yup more than likely drunk
3: No first time round did the same as the schnel basically kamikazee'd me but fired on me with its deck guns no depth charges.:damn:
Was kinda weird:up:

Maybe you rammed a wreck of a ship? You get these half sunken ones now and then. Dead but still afloat.
Hope that helps a bit...
:up:
P.s. I'll post some screenies of the mentioned wrecks later when i get back home. I believe i still have them.

Every possibilty Koz becouse i did sink rather a few skimmers round about that area and it is pretty shallow water thanks for that:up: Now all i need to do is figure out the other glitches.

Gutt morninckzz :sunny:
1: at 1040 TC you were TCing too fast. From the moment your lookouts spot another ship 'til TC drops to 8 or 1 you've been kaputed. I've ran into a destroyer in low viz at 32TC and already had severe damage by the time the ship spotted alert came. A minute later, I was dead. Travelling at more than 240 TC is dangerous
2-3: The Jerry's must have smelled your RN pink gins :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sorry leeclose. It seems i've deleted these screenie files. But basicly there were two merchants ca. 200m apart, their afts were sunk and bows sticking out of the water ca. 45 degrees position.
Cheerio.
