Im still laughing!!!

[mowgli99]

I'm on my second patrol in october 1939. I patrolled relentlessly up and down the eastern coast of britain destroying large merchants and passenger/cargo ships with each pass over a course of days:up: . I was running low on fuel and decided to return to base (wilhemlshaven). Near the south eastern coast i encountered a brit schooner:hmm: . What to do??? It was a perfectly clear day with no waves no wind not anything bad. I decided to attack this small but very tempting target that was so small it was funny. My deckgun opened up with its last 15 rounds. A few hit and the schooner was taking on water at the stern but continued to move along.:huh: I pulled up along side it and began firing the flak gun. After around 5 clips i decided that this was going nowhere.

I sped ahead of this small but intimadating vessel and began stern tube procedures. Set depth 1m, speed fast, impact pistol, open tube 5! Once at 275m i fired. Impact in 25 seconds. All the sudden BOOM:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: . The ship went under, shot up, and disapeared. I went to the bridge and looked around. Nothing:hmm: . Loooked up. There in the sky was the boat(thought it was a plane) smaller than a speck. It was spining wildly down to earth and the entire ship was on its side doing circles and spins in the air.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: . It slammed into the water after minutes of free falling and went upright again. I didnt have the controls at the bottom of the screen and thought it was still alive :damn: . but it wasnt. It sailed on blackened as a burnt black cat and then slowly sank. I literally am still laughing at the part where it shot up. *sighs* Well anyway have any of you experienced that? Sorry for the long post (hope it was entertaining) but i was wondering if yall know of a way for hit spots to show up in the recognition manual (where it has a highlighted ship places for good hits). Anyway help would be much appreciated and thankyou for reading a long post. --Mowgli

lol yea i hit a tug boat once like that. it bounced up really high and then rocketed to like prolly a depth of 100 meters. al in 1 second and a half. it was really funny. i shoulda got that on film. it would have been titled PWNED!!!!!!!

[mowgli99]

ya i have screenshots but dont have a program to change to the right format. Do you know what i mean by the recog. manual thing. Is it a mod or something. I saw it in a video and thought it would be useful. I could of sworn i got there on accident. oh well not a bid deal.

[TarJak]

Yeah anything with a low weight and a single damage compartment does it when hit with a big impact weapon like a torpedo.

Why are you wasting torpedoes on them. BdU want's a word with you when you get back to port:nope: :lol:

[mowgli99]

it was just so tempting. I was going to let it go but i felt as if it was laughing at me.:x :damn: :o

I can say with about 100% certainty that in fact they were...

I put a Star Shell round into a torpedo boat...That exploded very nicely, and sunk like a brick, but no flying....though flying things did come after :/

A star shell and even a 105mm DG shell won't make it fly. Only a torpedoe. Its just the ingame qhysics. big bang + low target weight = flying target.

I sank one near the channel by ramming.

Ramming was in fact much used in the Mediterranean against egyptian small vessel crafts.Dietrich Schöneboom's U-431 in fact did it more than once :up:

Having sailed in sloops, ketches and schooners, I refuse to sink sailboats :shifty:

Aye I was just saying though off hand. It didnt fly, jsut sunk like a brick Was funny, I had been blatting with that single 20mm to no avail...

[Sailor Steve]

Back when the game was new one player experimented with making 'super' torpedoes. He posted screenshots of a battleship flying through the air.:rock:

If you have windows paint (should be in the start menu) you can scale down the size and save em as a jpg thus making them alot more post friendly - actually even just saving them as a jpg using paint should shrink the file size enough for posting :up:

[bookworm_020]

You have just given the British a new type of flying boat!:up: Just pray they don't outfit it with depth charges!:dead:

[mowgli99]

i saved my pictures as a jpg but how do i post? Dowly's thread didnt say.

ROTFL!
If I was in your shoes I will order crew to manage flak gun!

[TarJak]

Dowly's thread explaining how to post screenshots covers each step so you must be missing something.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=107399 it takes a while to load cos there are a few screenshots in the actual thread. Wait until its all there then read thru the instructions. He has not left anything out.

:rotfl:I just got it! :rotfl:



Ok, you can shoot me in the head now.:oops:

[mowgli99]

Well i read his thread but it only shows step #1. (save as....) after that is a blank space and nothing in it. Oh well i dont mind.:sunny:

[TarJak]

I get all steps when I load it. Sounds like you have a bandwidth or browser issue. There are 5 steps in all.

1 & 2. Save your images as a jpg, or png format. (You may need to convert using a graphics editor)

3. Upload the image to an image hosting site like http://imageshack.us

4. Copy the URL that is generated by the hosting site for your image. (You need the direct link to image URL or it won't work)

5. Create your post and click on the insert image button and paste the link in and hit OK or just type then paste the link before typing

http://yourimageURLhere.comSimple as that.
