Myth BUSTED!
Note: The current screenshot also busts the myth that surface convoy attacks are hard as heck.

PS: I havent taken any action yet.
I have three choices.
Shell it amidships in hope that its ammo bunker will explode.
Shell it to its guns.
Flak it 'till death! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Any suggestions?

What year is that in?

[Task Force]

(flak its guns. they will explode.):yep:

I think its early war. he appears to have a viib.

[Lt.Fillipidis]

Its mid1941.
Now... Lets see what happens if i do what i have in mind... :arrgh!:

[Lt.Fillipidis]

Shelled, flaked and rammed! Now she's resting in the sea bed.
-30% integrity but it definatly worth it! I mostly liked the "Ramming" part. :D
(I have a screenie too. I can post it if you want)

[Task Force]

What did you do. lol (post the screenshots.)

[Lt.Fillipidis]

I didnt thought to get screenies of the ramming and flaking part but i have one when she blew up.

I don't know what mods you all use. But seriously in my game I had a trawler fire at me in fog before my watch officer even sighted it. The WO sighted it at 300m.
In NYGM3.2 in heavy seas overcast but during the day I was sighted by a Escort at 7000m and he fired and hit me from 6500.

7000m:o Good lord man. And in rough seas.:hmmm:

7000m:o Good lord man. And in rough seas.:hmmm:

Yea that's what I thought. I know I could tweak this but as the mod installed that's what happened. I havn't played NYGM in a night attack yet. Just getting started in it. Its suppose to be set up so day attacks are harder and night attacks are easier (at least as far as getting detected visually goes) compared to stock that is.

This happened in 1940, was surprised to be one hit from 6500m also. Must be an elite crew.:hmmm:

I decided though to leave the sensors alone for the escorts but I gave my crew better eyesight so I can maybe spot the convoy 1000 to 2000m(when there isn't fog) before they spot me so I have a chance to go around it or at least get in a position to follow until night time.

Its also suppose to make a difference what your aspect is in the mod. I was probably at a 45 to 60 degree angle to the convoy when I was spotted. But then changed to a parallel course at the 7000m range. I think the escort was already coming towards me before I was at a parallel course though. I had first spotted the convoy at 7400m. By the time I could determine its course and change my course I was at 7000m.

lol show me up will you? *shakes fist*:arrgh!:

[Otto Heinzmeir]

Nice in game senario, though I can't see a real life u-boat taking on a destroyer with a deck gun. He couldn't reload a save if it went poorly.

The one first hand account I read where a captain saw a dark silohette at close range. After realizing it was a destroyer he moved away and attacked the convoy from 1500m. I can't remember if he was surfaced or submerged at the time.

Utter rubbish :nope:

When did you last see a rabbit wearing glasses :hmmm:

That screenie looks suspiciously like GWX3.0 and OLC environmental....yet another positive step towards the realism of a dark Atlantic night http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

[Lt.Fillipidis]

Well, here's the list of mods i use:
GWX3.0Commander with JSGME
16km atmo
Alternative loadscreen
axis mediteranean aircraft skins
enhanced damage effects
main movie "Das Boot"
merged campaign
Thomsen's sound pack
Late war sensors (temporarily, cause im trying to make a good music video with SH3 :D )

Actually, this is the second time this happens to me.
If the DD is completelly unaware of you, you can even come close enough to write "Kriegsmarine owns your @ss" on its hull!
I oneshelled the first one but this one was a tough nut... :hmmm:

EDIT: Whats OLC enviromental?

My machine can't run GWX and I've never even seen a night that dark in game...:down:

What I could do with a night like that.....:03:

[Oneshot/Onekill]

Since i have been playing GWX, i can't ever recall getting that close to ANY ship especially an ASW vessel without being spotted, even with decks awash. I think the closet i've ever gotten to an escorted or unescorted convoy is around 1800 meters w/o moonlight.:nope:

I was with engines still when it came close.
Mate, i tell you it passed at almost 100m of me and they didnt noticed me.
Even when i fired the first shot, the spotlights were searching for me instead of pointing at me in the first place.

Some people just have all the luck, or unluck however you want to look at it.:DL
