Sunk by Aircraft?

[Shelton]

I know its too early for me since I am in June 1941, but just wondering if any of you have been sunk by aircraft depth charges in the sim ?

[Dowly]

YES! :rotfl:

Just wait a year or two and traveling on surface will be an death penalty. ;)

[CapnMike U-69]

OH yes, coupl'a times - especially in my first few GWX missions, mostly off the 'States.

Once I've been sunk on September the 6th 1939 :oops:

[HunterICX]

sailing out 1944 on the surface leaving port in lorient in a IXD2

got hit by aircraft 80 km from the port and sunk.

I was sunk my very first day playing GWX 1.01!:damn::damn::damn:

I was under the impression my U-boat here could withstand gunfire like in stock.... boy was I wrong!

[joegrundman]

Oh boy yes!!! Loads of times!

And very heavily damaged by aircraft attack Loads of times x4

[Flying Fish]

I was jumped and depth charged by a pair of twin engine RAF aircraft near the Shetlands in late Dec '39. Both aircraft missed with their depth charges, but had they been on target, it would have been bad news...

Well, in every mission (28 total) I was several times attacked by planes. In current patrol I menaged to down two Catalinas but earlier I had nearly escaped certain death - four mosquitos with depthcharges. It's february 1943 and belive me ... planes are the worst nightmare:dead: .

[VolvicCH]

had a couple of close shaves, but no sinkings so far.....but then again, im only in late 1940 :88)





Have a nice day :)

[papa_smurf]

Yup, been sunk in novemeber 1939 just north of Scapa Flow, by a couple of Ansons:damn:

I've neveractually been sank by an aircraft, but I've had my hull been blown down to 20% by some. I usually get them down or at least dive after their first pass (ofcourse, when able I'll dive as soon as I see them unless they're really close). I'm actually also a XXIalcoholic.. I just like 1944 and being happy to make it out alive from the first patrol..

[Lzs von swe]

Sunk by planes? Yes!!
I have been sunk by a measly Stringbag in Sept. -39:oops: And all my attempts in the Med has been ended by planes.
But by depth charges dropped from planes, no I do not think so:hmm: I´ve heard my SO call depth charges in the water, but I have never been hit by them.

Late war allied planes will keep you on your toes, constantly:rock:

[dmlavan]

Yes - sunk by depth charges, bombs, and rockets. First time I saw a rocket I thought my gunners had scored a hit, then realized it was the flash of the acft firing the rocket.

Have been belatedly sunk by acft too - damaged to less than 50%, and then when dive to avoid escorts or other aircraft my weakened hull gives way quickly.:dead:

[IrischKapitan]

Talking abou the med, I got sunk by for mossies 70kn out of port, five minutes later the Luftwaffe show up, talk about being right on time..... :nope:
