It's September 13th 1943, I was patrolling BE38 when I received report of a large convoy in my vicinity. It was coming right at me, and I was in perfect position for attack.

They spotted my periscope just when I was getting ready to fire, and now I've got 6 DDs after me, pinging and depth-charging all over the place.

I'm at 170 meters and don't want to go deeper because I was damaged before, and I don't know the condition of my hull. It seams I'm doomed. :cry:

That's the problem - I don't know. I was already hit by depth-charge once, and bombed 2-3 times. None of my systems were destroyed, and the damage was minor, but I don't know in what condition the pressure hull is.

I guess none of those was a direct hit. :D

Got any Torpedos left.:-? Yup, I've got plenty. It's been a lousy patrol. I sunk only 3 ships and damaged one, and I'm out there for weeks. :oops:

Despite my pessimistic predictions, I managed to escape, without serious damage. Going after the convoy again. :arrgh!:

I think I'd rather skip the 12 destroyer test. :)

Ok we can work that out, We will give you the evading battleship shells test. Should be a pice of cake, just stay at long range.:lol:

That shouldn't be a problem, as long as I have some eels ready in the tubes, and a few meters of water under the keel. :rotfl:

Try to survive 10 DD fest, in 60 deep water, hiding under a halfway sinked ship.
Now THATS a challenge! (This has actually happened to me, and I survived)

Wrong to underestimate the power of the Hoochie Woochie, it is.

Thank you! This time the Hoochie Woochie prevailed over the Dark side, i.e. Bernard. :D

I've survived 15, the only way past hell, is by going through it! :arrgh!: Never give up, always come back!

I thought I was doing great in a similar situation, until I got this flood (word chosen carefully) of damage reports and realized that I was paying too much attention to the circling destroyers and not enough to the C3 that just ran me over. Doh. :oops:

When evading DDs, it's not advisable to remain at the periscope depth. :know:

I actually got rammed to death by merchant just because I thought I was well far away from its side.
The 2 panel comic on Humorous pic section is straight from that. Expect I had to remake it on the game since I f*cking shat bricks so hard from the sudden "SCREEEEEEEAAAAAAAARSSMMMCROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGGGGG G"
I had my stereos quite loud

@Meduza

I am, in fact, eminently aware of this fact now. Actually, I totally wigged out and was going to try and shoot one. :damn: Bad idea to begin with.

Never tried at 25m, but I did at 36. The outcome was tragical. :dead:
