Show me your Damage!

[HunterICX]

So we all see nice screens of sinking ship
but sometime we know when sinking an big ship...it can have its price

I'll Start

I was doing an fast career in the IXD2 in 1944
I catched an large convoy.
couldnt see sh!t....heavy fog...but I could here them Okay!
Closing....suddently Out of nowhere an Flower comes up! DAMN! He took me with suprise and the following thing happens

He shot something from its front an Ring of grenades? (Mortyr or something?)
He rammed my conning tower...
and Depthcharged me with all direct hits

(Now...pretty heavy damage for an Flower Corvette...late 1944)
I Survived the raping...but not for long...after I fixed every flooding...he came again and finished me off....:damn:

[Sailor Steve]

He shot something from its front an Ring of grenades? (Mortyr or something?)
It's called a Hedgehog, or spigot mortar.

I've never taken that much damage (well, I've taken more, but I didn't survive). You'll probably get some replies from folk who've returned with as little as 4% left. Maybe less, but that's the worst I remember hearing about.

[NeonSamurai]

Ah now thats why i generaly prefer the type VII's, your chances of survival are often much better when things go realy wrong.

[U-104]

I don't have any pictures of it, but on a long patrol off the coast of Canada, I was hit by a destroyer and a Sutherland. Hull integrity dropped. I had to surface; got into a gun battle with the destroyer, sank it. By the end, my hull integrity was down to 2% and I managed to sail it all the way across the Atlantic back to home port and finish the patrol.

[stabiz]

I have never recovered from that kind of damage. Ouch!

This one was fatal (mine outside Scapas western entrypoint or in the channel):

[NeonSamurai]

Let me guess, you hit a mine :)

[stabiz]

:D Yes, and I also wrote that, hehe.

[NeonSamurai]

Oh right :) Still even if you hadnt said it the damage pattern is always the same (why the game decides to kill off both crew in the radio room every time ill never know

[stabiz]

Yeah, I`ve noticed that too. Why is that?

[Rilder]

(Insert Star Trek refrence)

Cause they were red shirts? :p

[bookworm_020]

Maybe it's a small space issue, One get's hit and the other is taken out by shrapnel:hmm:

[Shaffer4]

I just finished my first GW patrol, and on the way home, after an uneventful patrol (one measly little Tramp Steamer) I decided to sneak into Loch Ewe and see what was around (1939). Peeking through the periscope as I am creeping into the harbour I spy a Nelson Battleship bobbing calmly in the water.

Thats when I hit the Mine.... The damage to the ship was along the lines of Stabiz' photo above, except for the stern damage and dead crew. All of my crew managed to survive, after getting the flooding under control I decided not to press my luck and snuck back out. Lost the O-periscope and the Deck gun, hull down to 66%.

[enaceo]

I don't have a screen but the most horrific patrol i had not so long ago left me with about 19 crewmen in a VIIB and hull was really low .However i didn't really manage to escape,but still
It was 1940 i think and I was returning from a not-so-juicy patrol with no ships sunk (except an english coastal vessel,but that doesn't really count:) ) and i was on the eastern coast of England returning to base.I didn't have anything better to do so i went twards hartlepool I Think or another port in that area.I sneaked in and found nothing .As i changed course (while being submerged) 2 v&w's and a C class came from no-where.I stayed submerged (but at low depth since i was relative close to the town).I was going silent with about 2 knts and was hoping they didn't detect me(I use NYGM so going silent isn't like a "cloaking" device anymore).Suddenly,I hit a ********g mine which caused some heavy flooding and hull damage .The pattern was sorta similar -coning tower/KDB /Radioroom blown to bits about 6 crew dead+about 3 rooms flooding really fast.Also,one of,one of the bateries got blown up so i had no electric power left.I had nothing to do than surface and try to make a run for it.So i surfaced and ,well,they saw me and started chasing.I put some men on the deck-gun and i managed to destroy the C-Class' guns and it backed away.But as soon as i did that my deck-gun got destryed and the watch-officer + the 3 men on the gun were killed.Then,one of the other ship's rammed into me ,while the other one was shooting it's cannons at me ,but it's aim sucked so he managed to destroy the guy ramming me.Then i only had one double-flack gun to destroy the v&w,and strangely enough i managed to destroy it's guns so it backed off.By now my subs was more limping in the water at about 5 kn rather than actually moving .After a few more km's i met a tribal ,and that guy finished me off:((

[stabiz]

Holy crap! :o

[Dowly]

Maybe it's a small space issue, One get's hit and the other is taken out by shrapnel:hmm:

Or the the other flys through the wall because of the shockwave and their heads collide and the other dies as well?:yep:

[enaceo]

Maybe they're to scared and commit group suicide;D

[Sailor Steve]

Nope. The Allies have secret 'homing' depth-charges designed to kill the soundman first, so you can't tell where they're coming from anymore.

[enaceo]

I wonder if the 2 radio-guys go to DJ'S locker if you change their place in the ship:D?

[Engel der Vernichtung]

Nope. The Allies have secret 'homing' depth-charges designed to kill the soundman first, so you can't tell where they're coming from anymore.

But we're talking about mines....:know:

[Sailor Steve]

Shhh...secret weapon...'Limpet' mines..."Thrummm"...

Something I just thought about: If you are in this situation with two dead crewmen in the radio room and hydrophone room, what do you see if you visit that area of the ship? :hmm: Two dead bodies? Empty chairs?

[HunterICX]

Sawdust....

Well now you mention it...i never looked in that room when they where dead....:doh:

Maybe i,m just afraid off all the blood I encounter there and guts and other bodyparts

Jezus...just thinkg about that an Eye sticking on the needle of that hydrophone...
:dead:

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Ages ago so no screenes.

It was 1943 and I had come out of St. Nazire and I heare Ship spotted. I take a look and it was a british DD. I submerged and fired a fish at the seemngly easy target(sitting there) he herd the fish and made a DC run in me HI 11-15%. I got him with my rear torp. Had to return to base. I could still se it when attacked.:nope:

[enaceo]

If you go into a room with dead crew-men you see NOTHING!Just some empty chairs!And if you are in the same room as the crew-men that die ,they just dissapear.

[Sawdust]

If you go into a room with dead crew-men you see NOTHING!Just some empty chairs!And if you are in the same room as the crew-men that die ,they just dissapear.Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. Now I won't have to get some crewmen killed just for the sake of experiment! :p

[Lzs von swe]

Hi all
Last carer ended southwest off Island late December -43. I surfaced for a short breather early in the morning, and the lookouts started screaming as soon as they got up to the bridge. I got up there, looked to the left and the sky was full off 4 engined planes already diving at us, guns blazing. Crash dived to get the crew down from the bridge before they got killed, I could see the bombs coming, and then all hell broke upon us. Aft torpedo room minor damage, electric engines damaged, starboard diesel destroyed, port diesel damaged, aft batteries damaged, command room, everything damaged + flooding, radio room, all systems down, forw batteries damaged and 3 dead crew, forw torpedo room no damage. I lost all sense off time during the following desperate fight to save the boat and the crew.
Back on the surface I discovered that everything on deck was destroyed, conning tower, all flak guns, deck gun, hydrophone, sonar, radar, radar receiver, radio antenna, both periscopes, USO. And we had lost almost all diesel, less than 10% left. I don´t remember hull integrity. So, there we where, no diesel fuel, flat batteries and only the port diesel working, totally blind. Well I marked it as an surrendered carer in sh3 commander.

[U-104]

Empty chairs? :yep:

[U-Bones]

8% logged & I have have survived worse.

[mr chris]

Thats some pretty serious damage U-Bones.
I have just ended my first patrol with GW and ended up with HI of 39% after a trip through the English channel. Managed to get traped and pounded by three destroyers. All i could do was sit on the bottom at 31m and wait for them to run out of tin cans. Once they had departed it took quite a while to clear up the damaged and get all the water out. :doh:

[stabiz]

After my recent trip to New York:

I didn't realise the enemy had switched to using grey paintball guns Stabiz ...? A hit from them on the arm must smart!!!

:lol:

[stabiz]

:rotfl:

I have dual installs, and only one mod enabler. I guess some Fubar-stuff attached itself to the IXD2.

[Rilder]

Actually when he was hanging around new york a buncha kids with paintball guns saw him and took to pelting the boat with black paintballs, Actually I believe that Stabiz himself got a paintball in the head... except that paintball strangely enough.. was pink, Bernard in his quest for revenge pulled out his personal paintball gun and attempted to pelt the kids with paintballs but ended up on his way up to the conning tower, pelting every single one of the crewmen with paintballs :rotfl:

[stabiz]

That actually explains alot! :D

Hey, where's the chat log recorded please? I haven't been able to find it, and it would be very helpful in making KTBs! Thanks.

[Shahed]

I don't remember the dmage precisely what it was, but I do remember going back to base and docking with 1.87% Hull Integrity:

20 15AUG41 - 17SEP41 (34 days) 12 (10/2) 65750 (64270/1480) U-Boat damaged (H.I. 1.87%)

[stabiz]

:rotfl:Holy crap! I guess your men were wet even in the conning tower.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Well, I remember I was playing online, and somehow I got down to 14% hull integrity and was at 503 (five zero three) meters down WITHOUT being crushed!!! I think everyone in but like two compartments were dead, and there seemed no way to surface w/the damage I had.

I think there had to be a bug in there, somewhere.

Well, I can see one mistake... all the crewmen are in undamaged compartments. If you want to have any hope of containing that flooding, you have to get crewmen in to the flooding compartments to fix it, and put the D/C team on the worst one.

[rasmus1896]

well, i dont have a pic either but the worst thing i have done trought (didnt suvive)
i that i hitted 2 mines i th same place . it was like one destroyed thing in every comp.

this suck!!!!:nope:

[horrgakx]

I managed to repair and escape :)

Imagine going through shallow waters outside Scapa.....and a bunch of mines are literally following you through the water in 10 miles per hour!!:D

:help: I'd sure call for help:D

[dean_acheson]

How do you take photos of screen shots in SHIII?

[Hybris]

Maybe it's a small space issue, One get's hit and the other is taken out by shrapnel:hmm:
Heres how I can explain the sonarmans death at least. The sound of the explosion is so loud that even with the headphones off his head blows up!:rotfl:
The radioman well... maybe getting electrocuted?

[kylania]

How do you take photos of screen shots in SHIII?

Ctrl-F11 by default. They save as BMP files in your main SilentHunterIII folder.

I suspect he fought an BB nelson with the deck gun :o . holy crap

[Biggles]

Or playing chicken race with a Carrier....:rotfl:

[Cpt.Thorne]

Decided to fight back a Sunderland and my fightback evasive maneuvere brought the boat right on his line and as he dropped 4 bombs...they all scored from aft to bow. Still managed to move the only alive men from below decks to the conningtower (the one guy still inside the boat is axemurdering the enigma machine and after that he was able to step out to the flak position.) The dead crewmembers at deckgun are the remains from the flak crew and one of the watch crewmembers that i threw overboard to get my men from belowdecks. Boat sat on surface for 1minute before plunging into the bottom of the Bay of Biscay. The Sunderland was on its way to finish U-607 when the black screen of death appeared, but the 5 crewmembers jumped into a dinghy and were rescued later by Allied DD...:nope:

This incident happened during the Aircraft efficiency/spotting and AC all MG gunpods working testing of NYGM 2.2. Bevare if you decide to engage any ACs...those flyboys are something to be afraid of...

Prost

Ctrl+F11 to take screens. These are then stored in your Silent Hunter III in the program files directory, as a bmp.

[Keelbuster]

Great thread! I love taking damage!

In one of my old boats i hit a mine off of Hull (if i remember right). I was under TC, so when I snapped out I was sinking fast. I got everything under control, blew ballast and surfaced to find fire belching out of the conning tower. It was my first mine experience (that didn't end instantly with the 'your uboat was destroyed').

I just thought of something.....has anyone ever been in a apartment when a fatal explosion/damage/etc, kills a crewman? and how does it looks INSIDE the sub when you get hit by a mine?

[horrgakx]

I've been in a house when that happened, never an apartment though :rotfl:

Seriously, damage isn't modelled inside graphically.
