Why I dislike fog... [pics]

[Kalach]

I had started a new career in a IID, I made it through the channel and to my patrol grid. I did my patrol and proceded back through the chanel to look for targets off east England. It had been heavy fog throughout the whole patrol and I hadn't had any opportunity to sink a thing.
Then I get the "Ship Spotted!" message - never a good thing in heavy fog :doh:

That doesn't look good at all... The explosion on the water is our sub :dead:

We are still alive so far, and the DD was stupid enough to cut infront of us. Flooding's mostly under control.

Now I know why I have 7 warships at close range closing on my position....

Another reason... If the fog weren't here I'm sure i could of taken at least 1 good victim.

All's well that end's well I guess. We made it home on christmas day with only a badly scortched hull for our troubles

Nice story..

call me a coward but in case of heavy fog and night, i never engage.. i prefer to stick tail for awhile hoping fog dissapears, or morning comes. Later tactics doesnt alawways work though, as i am a sucky navigator hehe

I had no choice, I try to stay under more often in heavy fog but my crew eventualy wants oxygen (wimps :nope: ). I'm glad I ran into a DD, and wasn't spotted by a BB :-j
