Ever Ram A Sloop?

[GreyBeard]

I came across a sloop earlier in rough seas, so the deck/flak guns could not be used. I surely couldn't waste a torp on something that only weighed about 8/9 tons, so I thought I would try ramming her. Didn't work! The sloop seemed to just keep sliding down along the side of the u-boat. Just wondering if anyone else had tried this before. :lol:

NO.

Fishing Boats is a different matter. ;)

[ReallyDedPoet]

No, never a sloop, however I did accidently ram a fellow wolf in high seas and heavy fog, not good:nope:

[leeclose]

Yup ran full speed into a sloop hit it bang on midships and pushed it right under:up:

Not a sloop, but accidentally hit a Junk while leaving Penang.:oops:

Cut her clean in half.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[bookworm_020]

My answer is the same I will give when questioned at nuremburg,

I never saw that Sloop!:arrgh!:

[Kingswat]

i had a collision with the admiral hipper if that counts. my watch crew didn't report any ships and i was busy below planning my course. all hands lost

[Brag]

I invite yachties for a drink. :smug:

[Foghladh_mhara]

I rammed a harbour wall :oops: The turning radius of a u-boat is less than i would have thought. We don't mention it on my boat

[GSpector]

I saw a sloop for the 1st time last night (patrol 28). They are tough. I used my deck gun on it about 4x before I got the message "She's going down".

I have tried to RAM other ships to see what happens but not much other then I get the message "We're taking damage". Now the funny part is when I try to dive and something like an escort runs right over me trying to ram me, they usually get damaged and then they sink with minor damage to my sub .

Now as for running into the harbor. I was using time compression 1024 1x on a return from a patrol and my PC decide it wanted to direct its attention elsewhere at the moment I wanted to get back to 1x TC an cruise thru the harbor checking out the sights as I usually do. But noooo. I was still at 1024 TC and frantically pressing the "-" all they into the harbor wall, All hands lost :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: , :o:stare::nope:.

I can't swear by it but I think Bernard tripped over something just moments before I tried to apply the breaks :rotfl:

Same thing happen to me while plottin course around Brest. Hit the wall where the Scharn and Gnei is.

made my night to, my 6th patrol and i was leaving wilhelmshaven when the hipper was coming in. by the time i went to the bridge to see what was reversing the hipper was pretty much ontop of the conning tower and as soon as it hit my career ended.

[kiwi_2005]

I rammed a escort and survived the escort sunk :rotfl: foggy weather, had time compression up all of a sudden time compression hits 1x and then a loud bang screeching sound went on deck and my bow was up over the escort, she slowly sunk.

I just cruise on by.:|\\

[Rykaird]

Sloops and trawlers are why the Creator invented flak guns. I mean, you can't seriously think those things are for planes, can you?

[It762]

I think the collision stuff works very badly in Sh3 sometimes I can even hit a bit g tanker and nothing happens neither the boat nor the tanker seem to get any damage... I tried it with a tanker that was lying in port.

[Mooncatt]

i dont think u boats were used for ramming so maybe thats why it doesnt work well in sh3 :hmm: so maybe they just coded it not to have any real effect.

What......I clearly used my flakgun in that first pic.:up:

[ReallyDedPoet]

Go easy on em' Mush, go easy:lol:

[Mush Martin]

Go easy on em' Mush, go easy:lol:
I am sorry please my english not so good (dad from yorkshire) what is
this "easy" meaning like I no understand only have two gears

balls to the wall and faster.????

Latter we call ramming speed.

[It762]

Is there a mod that would cause tremendous damage to uboat and other boat if both collide?

How deadly would be a submarine net?

Without external view no way to detect right? :o)

[Mush Martin]

Mostly based on the existing damage mod of the ships involved

even debris hitting you will cause damage.

the visual appearance of damage is done with
a damamge textures mod which is the visible
representation of the gun hits you see on the
UBerboot up above.

that one is about the third last damage mod I think two more
have come out since but they do only change appearance.
how much damage you take or the other guy takes
actually depends on quite a few dynamic factors in the sim.

MM

[It762]

i definitively would like to have a mod that will ensure that my boat will be severely damaged after ramming actions.

Once I rammed a small tanker.... not much happened excepted that i receied plenty of "xxx was repaired" but no real impact on hull integrity.

I think there should be severe flooding in forward 3 compartments and full repairs would not even be possible at all!

[leeclose]

You using any add on stuff like GWX etc?:up:

[It762]

install 1 (frequently used) : stock 14b + miltiray mod 1-4, funkmod, plotting help (moose bearing or smth like that), hollywood damage for 14b mod and some others but all unreleated i think :)

install 2 (used once): GWX 1.02, harbour traffic light, flavored to taste final version mod, neutral buyoncey mod

[Morts]

i only ram friendly sloops
i sink enemy/neutral sloops:arrgh!: (if weather allowes)

[hotdog]

I accidently rammed the Hood the other day while raiding a southern english port, she didn't sink.

[leeclose]

I wonder why LOL:rotfl:

[ubootcomrade]

I rammed a sloop once in stormy weather wind '15 meters per second' it said didnt stop me from 'accidently' ramming the furers sloop:arrgh!: :arrgh!: :arrgh!:

[U-418]

The only thing my brother want's me to do is ram the enemy.
I'm glad almost that I'm still learning to play this game.
Navel Accadimy (I think I spelt that wrong...)

Once I get the hang of this game it's only a matter of time until
The choice is not mine to make. :oops: :oops: :oops: 5 reasons:

1) SH3 runs on my brother's computer only.
2) 8:00 AM-12:50 PM is my window of oppertunity on weekends and school holidays.
3) My brother has curiosity, but he's too busy with World of Warcraft.
4) I don't have DVD-ROM Drive on my computer, he does.
5) IT is HIS computer, I play while he sleeps-in; in the morning.

See my problem? I'm fated to some day have an on-purpose collison with what ever is out there in the stock game.

and I don't have a part time job yet so....for time being I'm stuck with window of oppertunity...and possible on-purpose blunder on par with my brother's influence.

If I hit something head on, you'll be second to know. I say second because my brother will be first to know... ... ... :|\\ Blunder may as well be my second nature talent.

Any comments, or positive comments to my mess of a situation yet to happen?

[Captain Norman]

I did it yesterday actually, in the worst weather ive been in, pitchin and rollin in the seas, I moved right into it at 15 knots, pushed him aside, and he sank :D
Ill post a screenie sometime if I find it.

First of world of warcraft is your brother still using training diapers gods that came is terrible. Secondaly tie him to his bed at least 3 times a week so you can play longer. Thirdly feed him a mind altering drug so you can play longer. Fourthly well easy beat him up and take his pc off him and tell him to get a hobby or summit:up:
