View Full Version : I think BdU hates me...
Anyone else been tasked with infiltrating the Firth of Clyde and sneakin up on the HMS Rodney at anchorage near Greenock? I wouldn't usually even try, what with subnets/minefields/depths of about 10 meters and all....but...orders are orders right? Any ideas (other than to go into reverse and get the heck out of dodge) to help this Kaleun keep up with Prien and his smarmy attitude since the Royal Oak?
the game doesnt give us orders.

Well, yes, there has been some talk at BDU concerning you and your future.....it is in peril. Go in at night time and good luck.

Probably a SH3 Gen generated mission... ;)
Yeah thats exactly what it is, sorry i should have said that from the beginning.:oops:
So as of now, im about 6 hours out from the Rodney's anchorage, im puttin along at 1 knot with decks awash at about 7-9 meters, hoping not to run into a minefield or nets and just kinda watching that armed trawler mosey around about 150 yards in front of me, blissfully unaware. If it were better weather, id surface behind the git and light his DC racks up, but discretion being the better part of not getting yourself killed, im just gonna follow him as far as i can. Weather is cruddy, but thats good. Just wish it'd get darker soon, so i can run on the surface for a while and make some good time.
The Firth actually seems VERY underdefended at the moment, not that i trust it.
(only one DD and the Trawler so far)

Of course you dont actually have to carry out the missions from SHGen.
(only one DD and the Trawler so far)

lmao :rotfl:
yeah no kidding, im starting to have second thoughts about it, especially since its such an easy port to block off escape routes...
if the missions aren't required, do you just get extra renown for completing it?
i'll have to check my orders again, cuz at this point im not sure if it tells me to actually ATTACK the Rodney or just confirm that its in the harbor, which could
make things SLIGHTLY easier.
of course, who am i kidding, if i see that f*cker im gonna unload on him...
are there any ports that are considerably easier to hit than this? what i mean, are there ones with less in the way of anti-sub defenses (mines,nets) that usually have a good amount of traffic in the harbor? (i recall someone saying NYC is pretty lightly defended in those regards)

What year is this?
If it's after 1940, then my answer is:
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
Its actually about October of 1939...Prien may not have even made his attempt at Scapa Flow yet, so I might actually have a chance to beat him to the punch.
I like my chances for not getting detected just fine up until i punch some holes in Rodney's hull, but after that im guessing its gonna get REAL hairy.

I can feel with you.
The BdU sent me for my 3rd patrol (Type VIIC) from St.Nazaire to grid AM66, that's the Solway Firth near the North Channel in the Irish Sea (NE of the Isle of Man).
It's April 1944. No snorkel. No idea where the minefields are. Guess I'm dead meat.:dead:
I'm sailing off this evening and since yesterday I'm thinking and planning on ways on how I get in and out alive, I love this game.
Cheers and good luck,

He is wet behind the ears. The ears get that way by going to the bottom for a long rest:dead: Look, two sinkings. Likes to play in the channel. He has got a good resume going!!!
What draws people to sail into shallow waters in a submarine? The lemming syndrome? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Well, I made it into the harbor pretty alright, had to sink that trawler that i was shadowing when he made a long loop and ended up behind me and getting curious as to what that large grey piece of metal was sticking out of the water. I've never used a torp on anything so small before...heh heh...that sucker lifted right out of the water.
Amazingly, I expected all Hell to break loose at this point.
Im waiting....
Slowly, slowly making my way along.
Nothing, not a plane, not a destroyer...nada.
I make it to the anchorage about 0100 hours...and the HMS Rodney is NOT there....:nope: stinking Luftwaffe can't identify targets for cr*p...or...what the?!?
Emerging from the fog...no...it cant be...
HMS Hood, riding gracefully at anchor, completely blacked out. Oblivious.
and a little ways off of her bow...
HMS Nelson, equally darkened, equally quiet.
it was at this point that i faced a dilemma as never before in this game...
oh screw it, opened tubes 1,2,3 and nailed the Hood just forward of her bridge, all eels hitting within a few meters of each other.
Kaboom, she gushes flame and smoke and starts to settle to the bottom of the Firth.
My men are busy reloading as i hurry to get into position on the Nelson...still no response and its almost twenty minutes later when im shooting tubes 2,3,4 into the fuel compartment of the Nelson, and then im headed for the door.
On the way out, i hit a mine, and barely save the boat, then limp away finally making it back to Wilhelmshaven 5 days later..
I got both of them suckers.:rock:
Other than being lucky, how come all hell didnt come down on my head?

Of course you dont actually have to carry out the missions from SHGen.
