You won't need to worry about sinking ships in shallow water, will you? Haven't you heeded the warnings of raiding harbours???? LOL

I raided Scapa, L. Ewe and Hartlepool during my first days with the game in a type IIA. I've decided it's really not worth the bother, to get in and be rewarded with a couple of medium cargo ships.

I just thought I'd get trying it out of my system in my early days! LOL

And as for using the external cam to see what's in the harbour in advance is just WRONG :down: LOL

If we, the Kaleuns, had the luck of having XXI 2-3 years earlier when could put six Aals in the bord of the ship and blow half of it to the other side of the harbor,let them aseble it again :arrgh!:

SH3 Stock Bug is the cause.

@ Nerazzurri .. wouldn't bother raiding Hartlepool if I was you; all you're doing is 'monkeying about'

BTW ..are you an Italian Glaswegian ? :hmm:

No, no more harbours for me. Learned my lesson. That was the point of doing it - so I wouldn't attempt it once I started the game in earnest.

I'm part Italian LOL - my big toe is about it. The tag is because I have always been, and always will be an Internazionale fan (or an Interisti) :rock: Toured the Stadio Meazza (that's the San Siro to the British LOL) and museum in March. Best 8 Euro I've ever spent, recommend it to anyone. You get to visit the dressing rooms; I sat in Mancinis chair - checking it for size because he is overdue the sack! LOL

Anyway, that's enough off topic before I get collared from the Mods. Arrivederci.

I guess like a drug habit, it is so wrong, but FEELS so good....I need to break that habit bad....really bad. Is there a hotline that I can call?

Also, I would like to note that I harbour raid for a reason. I found a BIG transport in an African harbor...something like 13t...now given, I had to go all the way to Capetown, Africa, but when I was in Scapa Flow the first time, I encountered the Revegne Battleship :huh: I put three eels into it, but it is the one that I was referring to that did not sink...:damn:

if you "killed" engine room only, it is posible (real atack) for ship to stay on surface (she is not going to sunk, she is too strong ewen if her spine is broken. lets giwe her a final shot (something like that on das boot)) , kill her with deck gun or send her a fish:arrgh!:

I wish that I could have..it was the Revenge after all, but I was a) all out of eels, and b), my Type IIA had NO guns....:shifty:

Just performed my first ramming! Well if you could call it that :oops:

About 10 days out of Wili and I think the lowest wind was about 12m/s :damn: Anyway I accounted for about 35,000t (not counting the one that got away!)when I torpedoed a small freighter. It went dead in the water but I didn't think it was going down. what with the waves and what happened to me earlier..........

Approached it at 2kn (well! don't want to go mad do I??) and with the waves I was pretty worried about landing on top of her decks! Anyway I 'nudged' her where the torpedo damage was and right away I got the 'she's going down'. I was well surprised!

First time I tried it and was very cautious LOL.

I'd love to know how many of you try ramming, and with how much success.
