(insanely pic heavy, guys)

I have yet to see a S-Class in the game. Ive seen Gatos and Balos but not these charming little basterds. So good going! :up:

Good one, Gildor mate! :up::up::up:
Here is some pics from a rendevouz i had with one of those tiny tubes:

Cool that you found an enemy submarine.:cool:

They do. I copied and pasted the patrol report from SH3 Commander. For some reason it lost the formatting. Note the Black Swan I ambushed and sank, HMS Peacock. For some strange reason she crusied directly towards me in flat-calm waters at 2 bells of the afternoon watch(hehe 1300hrs) doing 12 knots. I was at silent running and fired an electric at 2400m. Boom.

You're right. I apologize. I just noticed that the whale factory ship didn't have one, and that led me to not look closely enough at the others. D'oh!

No apologies are necessary at all. I never noticed that whaling ships don't have names either.

I sunk an S-Class in May of 1940. Found her cruising on the surface doing 7 knots in a heavy storm at night, in good old BF13.

Her watch didn't seem to have spotted me, so I went to flank, still on the surface, and set up a "fast 90" intercept like I would any other ship. If she had hydrophones that worked on the surface like another poster mentioned she wasn't using them, that's for sure, because I was absolutely pounding along about 6000m out.

She went down from a single torpedo set shallow, just behind the conning tower. Took forever to sink.

I was thinking as I was setting up for the shot - what if she dives? I have no way of engaging underwater targets - I can't tell target depth! Made me realize for the first time that U-Boat combat is completely on a flat plane - the surface - even if we are just beneath it.

Also, do S-Class subs (and U-Boats in general) have inflatable life rafts? It was a typically ugly night, but she had plenty of time to get anyone who was still left alive after the torpedo impact out of there. That must be quite a shock - cruising along in a tiny metal tube, thinking about "subject number one" and then without warning the noise and chaos of the explosion. Anyway, made me wonder.

Oh well i 've tried to make some sig from Corrupt_file and Gildor screenies. I do not intend to use them unless they've given their permission. Here they are:

Check your PM :)

Thx. Of course Corrupt_File you may use yours. I think gonna use the second pic

Hmmmm, I just came here to ask how many people have sunk enemy subs but I'm glad I used the search function before starting a new thread.

I had SH3 since it came out and only yesterday encountered my first enemy sub (S Class). I hit it with a torpedo even though it was swerving. It wasn't enough to sink it so I surfaced and gunned it. It cost me 2% hull integrity but it was worth it. It was at the beginning of my patrol so I have a while to go before I can celebrate it as a part of my tonnage.

Okay, off to the Western Approaches (AM 47).

Well the S-Class was only added in GWX. And I have sunk 4 Gato/Balo class subs. :smug:
