A sitting duck that can run away at around 17 knts :lol:

A U-boat running away from a merchant @17 knots is hardly a serious/imminent threat....and a radio signal to any nearby warship or air patrol = Ain't ran away far enough before the party stoppers arrive. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...lies/crazy.gif

I didn't say I sink her... I just hope to land a few lucky shots that will stop or slow the BB down. So I can finish her off with a torpedo at closer range. As soon as their shells start landing next to me, my preudence got the better of me,./'

BTW, the best deck gun duel I have is sinking a flower and a river in one battle without damage to the boat. As soon as I find a way to post the jpg's onto this forum... I will post a threat on how to sneak up on warships with deck gun (before they got radar, that is)

Of course the main problem is that a U-boat's gun would do absolutely nothing of significance to a warship of any decent size, let alone a battleship.

You might cause it some problems due to the crew being incapacitated by uncontrolled laughter, but otherwise.....

I'm just amazed his crew didn't mutiny and launch him out of a tube at those BBs!

BasilY, are you sure you do not have any relatives named, "Bernard"? :p

Still, good work!

Now lets hope BdU doesn't decide to reassign you to Shore Patrol! :doh:
