So what is the Penalty for Sinking a Hospital Ship?

[Packerton]

Ive played the game for so long now and still havenet ran into one.

[TarJak]

Shame and humiliation when you get back to port and more than likely a demotion to spud peeler followed by execution at the end of the war after a show trial.:rotfl:

Seriously though IIRC its -10,000 renown. Enough to end your career prematurely.

In game, career will END prematurely

In real life,

(1) Karl Donitz will go insane!

(2) Adolf Hitler may try to leave a place for you in the concentration camp or send you to Stalingrad where the Soviet lies

(3) Nimitz appreciates your courage to sink the hospital shop, but decides to execute you for acts against humanity (sarsantic)

[Jimbuna]

Game will only end if you've less than 10,000 renown :arrgh!:

[Morts]

Total War sink them all. :arrgh!:

[STEED]

[drussxx]

on my last patrol. i came across an escort. followed by a big hopital ship all lit up. guess what was behind that. a darkened .TROOPSHIP. now that was a very sneaky move by the british admiralty. of course the troopship went staight down to the bottom.

[S Rafty]

I would of deck gunned the Bridge of the hospital ship just to make a point.

[Jimbuna]

Shame on you Kaleun....Doenitz would not be impressed :arrgh!:

It's okay to harbour ruffians in this forum but not war criminals (even in play).

Thick fog - fairly rough seas. Picked up an enemy contact and just happened to be in the perfect position to fire. I don't use "external view" and through the fog fired 2 torpedoes at the obvioulsy large, but very indistinct shape in the periscope - range less than 500 metres and I still couldn't see a damn' thing. Both were hits. It went down fast.

When I got back to Wilhelmshaven and docked - I was pronounced dead! :dead:

I only hope they allowed me a last cigarette before I faced the firing-squad; and in future careers I've ensured that I don't fire unless I have positive i.d. of the type and nationality of the target.

Reminds me of a scene out of the movie 'The Bridge at Remagen' when Major Paul Kreuger (Robert Vaughn) is offered a last cigarette before being shot by firing squad for not sucessfully defending the bridge. And he never got to finish it either!

I was practicing manual targeting on Tirpitz in Wilhelmshaven other day and got something like -140000+ for sinking it.And off course i was dead afterwards.

I guess sinking hospital ships is not most deplorable thing in Kriegsmarine book:lol:

[JackSparrow]

I bet your submarine gets haunted if you sink a hospital ship too, like in that movie "Below".:huh: :rotfl:

[Von Manteuffel]

"Bridge At Remagen" must be one of the most underrated war movies ever. I love it! Robert Vaughan's execution is superbly filmed and wonderfully acted. Remember the way he buttons the top-button of his uniform jacket and relishes / regrets his last look at the sky?

You've started me thinking, now, Captain Nemo - Top 5 movie military executions? (macabre, but interesting )

5. Billy Bob Thornton as Davy Crocket in the remake of "The Alamo" - more a bayonet-squad than a firing squad
4. Ralph Meeker ( + 2 others ) in Kubrick's "Paths of Glory"
3. Robert Duval at the end of "The Eagle has Landed"
2. Robert Vaughan ( see above )
and at Number 1 - Edward Woodward and Brian Brown in "Breaker Morant"

Morbid, but a thought-provoking talking-point.

That was great, Thanks for makeing my Day.

I just surfaced and Deck Gunned it. Less soldiers to fight later. But then again, it was inbound to NYC, maybe it was all the wounded guys who got the ticket home. Hmm... well... "War Is Hell." :arrgh!:

Btw I was minus 2700 and some odd points when I finished patrol.
