The very worst for me was being killed by a dag gum iceberg ! :wah: I had plotted my course thru and iceberg field and had to leave the helm for some RL stuff and returned just in time to see an iceberg hit me and drag me under. I could not get away no matter what I did and soon became an artifical reef in the North Atlantic. I had forgotten that the icebergs were actually moving when I plotted my course and on top of it...all of my buds on MP witnessed it. Just goes to show that icebergs can be silent and deadly too.

Well there's been plenty to choose from. :) The last nasty death was a case of me coming up to periscope depth in the middle of a convoy. Unfortunately in the middle was also a destroyer or some other big ship that saw me and 'oneshotted' me to pieces.

Perhaps my 'death by collision' was an ASW mine as well.....off the coast of France, NE of Calais and NW of Dunkirk (I think it is) I was in heavy time compression then a screen pops up...dead by collision, lost all hands...my 2nd patrol, Sept 1939, and I'd just wrecked havoc in the port of Calais ....but was running on the surface at standard, oh well...

Got a silly death fighting 2 elco boats with the flak gun .
Enemy is engaging us ...yes I know
Enemy is engaging us ...yeah so what
Enemy is engaging us ...yeah tell me something new
bow tubes damaged watch tower damaged control room damaged we have flooding ....
they could have said new enemy engaging us

Havent died in a LONG time... Ever since I started commanding my sub (still in U 45.):rotfl:

Before...

Ship spotted

shells all around me

Distroyer getting bigger and BIGGER and BIGGER!!!
Then BOOM SQUEEEEEK as I crash dive.
He rammed me (didnt kill me.)
splash splash splash.

BOOM to my right

Boom to the stern of my sub

BOOM!!! SPLASH!!! SHATTER!!! SHHHHHHHH!!! the famous "were takeing damage sir"
Then The death screen...:o:rotfl:

i hate loosing to the torpedo boats:stare: sunk by machine gun fire, sheesh.

And I hate when you stumble across an escort in bad weather:doh:.

the worst for me is when I get to much close to my crash depth..

I mean, around 250/260 to avoid DD sonar/hydrophones as possible... Well, you know, when the officer starts saying we are taking damage because too deep.. and I see the light bulbs get broken.. and I order a new lower depth or just hit the emergency surface key several times to be much faster in the manouver.......... my crew has never, never, never complied it as quick as I want :nope:...

Cruising in the north Atlantic in the worst storm I've seen in the game, stumble into the midst of a convoy whilst on the surface, somehow I've missed the escorts coming in from the side, Watch can't identify targets closer than about 200m, so fill my boots by cruising around on the surface looking for shadows, closing into identification range, setting the shot and then dropping back until an approx range of 350m before firing Have picked off a couple of small merchants, a medium tanker and a pyro ship, when I see a large shadow crossing my path, I race in to get an identification and range, only to run smack bang into an British Heavy Cruiser, we obviously identify each other at the same time but I'm at 200m and stand no chance as he shreds my sub sending me and my loyal crew to the bottom

pointless death
 

leaving kiel
ahead standard...forgot to plot course through canal
ploughed straight into far side of harbour t x256 TC...ouch...

easy come easy go

Just had mine yesterday.
I was playing the Scapa single mission and got caught in shallow water by one of the patrolling destroyers after launching torpedoes at the Royal Oak.

The Royal Oak actually spotted me and shot a broadside with her secondary arnament forcing me under. Then the real fun began when the destroyer showed up.

It just wasn't pretty, especially after being forced to the surface and trying to run with all of those searchlights on me. :dead:

My 6 year old son enjoyed the spectacle though. :woot:

:)

It wasn't the torpedo boats , while I was too focused on those two a tribal destroyer had turned up

Trapped on the bottom 50 miles from Scapa Flow, because I didn't read the manual, forgot to put a damage control team in my flooding bow quarters, and didn't know what the countdown clock on my crew management page meant.

Ummm...whoops. :roll:
