Kaluens,

They're at it again with their crazy antics... yup you guessed it!

I'm sailing from Lorient December 27, 1942. I hear an explosion, as I scan the harbor I notice something strange. :o

WTF?

Ok so..maybe Bernard was at the helm?

As I steam further out of port I see something burning in the distance on open ground. F12 and I close with the unknown bonfire and guess what was the kindling!?

Well.. you see.. tonight was the harbormaster's birthday, so all the boys all had a few rounds and toddled off to finish their duties. Next thing we know, Bernard is parking a destroyer in a sub pen and we recieve a radio message from the Luftwaffe that says "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!" :o

I came back into Wilhemhaven from my the first patrol of my career last night, it was night and pouring rain, so terrible visibility. Just as I start to enter the harbor, I reach for my cup of tea, turn around, and BOOM- there's a freighter parked right across the entrance only a couple hundred meters away!!! Emergency reverse and I manage to slow to a 2 knot collision. :oops: I don't know who decided it was a good idea to park a freighter across the entrance at night, in weather, but I can think of more effective means of protection. From the enemy.:roll:

I did much the3 same thing only I nearly plowed my sub into the side of the Graf Zeppelin that suddenly, unexpectedly appeared out of the fog :o

Also, that Sperrbrecher trying to get into the subpen thought there was an air-raid drill going on....:lol:

It is you guys who drive the harbour people to distraction and desperate of relief. Of course the 24/7 dock band playing the Kadeten Marsch over and over sends people around the bend. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

:hmm: That band is an international conspiracy by the Swiss working with the Red Cross, gotta be, they're in every port, Axis Allied or Neutral...

:D

I think that destroyer captain wants to really command a U-boat, or is trying to be one:hmm: .

As for those flyboys at the Luftwaffe, im not really surprised:nope:

Did you save in port Hanomag ?

Kaluen BBWooly,

As a rule NO.

But I think I did that time. I was tired and just finished refitting and the game just finished loading in port and I saved. :hmm:

That could explain what happened. Saving and restarting in or anywhere near a port causes all of the AI-controlled ships & aircraft in the port to forget their pre-planned movement paths, so they just keep going in a straight line. The general result is that ships and aircraft collide with whatever is in front of them: the shore, another ship or aircraft, etc.
