Weird Events

[Brag]

SH3 & in particular, GWX has enough going on to produce unintended strange events akin real life. Let's hear them from you. Here is one that made me jump:

A dark, rainy night in the middle of the Atlantic (TCx1), haven't seen or heard a ship for 3 weeks. Klang, scrape metal against metal. The boat rolls heavily to starboard. I jump to the bridge to see the stern of a destroyer vanish into the murk.

That happened to me just north of Port of Spain. Same sort of weather but during early evening (bout 1800 hrs). Had to crash dive, and survive 4 depth charge rounds. Fortunately it was a yankee ship, so I give him the slip:arrgh!:

Feb 1941
I had penetrated a convoy's screen. Up periscope, several juicy targets in sight. Without warning, my crew started cheering. a sunk symbol appeared on the chart. Pretty deadly eye, wouldn't you say? :huh:

Actually, we had torpedoed the whale-factory in question 12 hours earlier. But the timing for it to sink was a bit weird. :o

nah, gives you a good excuse to name that captain "deadeye" whatever :D

weirdest I've seen was an allied plane, 2 engines can't recall what exactly it was, flying lengthwise over my boat, in Biscay Bay, in 1943, in broad daylight, clear skies, with me on the surface chugging along with the gramophone and radar at full blast and it not reacting at all, no bombs, no MG fire, nuttin' :o , it just flew on and disappeared eastwards, very odd

Probably an 'Elite' air crew. I don't think they attack (stock bug)
