first battleship

[U-84]

It's october 1939, in a VIIB, and I somehow managed to sneak into Scapa Flow to my surprise :o and for the first time in my year of playing SH3, i finally came across a battleship, revenge class in career mode...That thing was a beast, ate atleast 7 torps before finally scuttling to hte bottom...right now im tryin to evade the pursueing destroyers which seems to be countless of them...:damn: will tell later about the rest of the story, if i haven't sunk to hte bottom yet. wish me luck, lol.:ping:

dang some nice shots there starlion. Kudos to ya, for finding one in the med, that'll probably never happen for me. I apoligize, i should have taken some screenshots of it, but was too damn excited, but also too focused on trying to evade the destroyers, which i managed too do, but with a heavily damaged tower (u could call it destroyed lol), and deck gun (which is still functional lol) and just managed to escape out of scapa, now with a reported convoy in my grid...lucky me:know:

[StarLion45]

:D hi again:D

I know what you mean being exited:yep:
Earlier tonight I run into a convoy in grid "BE39"
(BTW it is a very,very,very good area to run into large ships
such as "whalefactory" ships,"medium tankers", "fast freighters",
"large merchants" etc) back to that convoy:p I was in that area-
and those ships in the convoy heading right toward to me , and in that convoy there was a "Revenge" Battleship , so my only options was to fire the stern torps
and she was 900meters behind me , and down she goes:smug: and in that exitment I forgot to take screenshots:damn: :damn: :damn: 31000ton so i know how you feel:-?
but remember this,it will be more chances:p :p

Here is a picture of a "Support ship" that is been sunk in Narvik :

I've done the sneak-into-scapa-flow thing once ... There were only small merchants and i was real pissed off. And I got shot at on the way out. Kinda felt like that das boot scene when they rush into gunfire :arrgh!:
