I had my boat in perfect possition. The battleship was doomed as it approached. I raised the scope. Target at 340 degrees, range 800 meters. I fired my stern tubes as the escorts headed for me :wah:

This is tough, I'd have to think all the way back to the last minutes I was playing.

While admiring the the stars of the night sky and getting ready to dock at the Corrientes supply ship, I looked up and noticed I was doing 14 kts on collision course... managed to slow down and veer away enough to just scrape the side a bit. :shifty:

When I first started playing I liked to cruise around very close to the coastline so I could look at the land through my binocs and see what it looked like. Sadly, I also had a bad habit of plotting my course without zooming in close enough on the map to see all the up close and personal details of the shoreline, especially the bits that stick out a bit farther into the water than they appear to when you're not zoomed in to that specific area on the nav map.

Protip: those bits do not recede into the mainland if you unknowingly plot a course right through them, and running up on them at flank speed will not scare them out of the way either.

You really should've taken the hint when their bridge watch stopped waving their arms and screaming and started jumping overboard instead. :O:

Last night going through the channel I torpedoed a Romanian merchant in the darkness thinking it was French.I then threw the radio man and sonar man out of the sound room and locked myself in sulking like a baby,then shouted back to everyone "if anyone so much as looks at to me the wrong way I will f'ing shoot you with my Luger then throw your corpse overboard for the sharks!" :damn:

Don't feel too bad about shooting the Romanians; I've heard they have it coming.

Paul Riley 03-23-10 04:00 AM

Thing is though,they became Germany's allies until 1944 I think it was.I remember they were using Romania's huge oil fields at Ploesti :o

Once accidently rammed my escorting Sperrbrecher while evading an air attack and crept the 5000 or so metres back to the bunker with 80% hull damage.
SNAFU:haha:
