Its only a scratch and a bit of water!:rotfl:

If he doesn't get you, the his mate in the background will!:yep:

The thing is though in that thoes are american DD's and it is before there entry in WWII.

I wonder why there where no shell splashes around your boat. Did they open fire on you after being rammed by them?

Actually, the US was involved with and had incidents with U-boats before Pearl Harbor.

I am still trying to pass the exam. This is how the torpedo exam has been for me.
Take one: I spent hours maneuvering my sub in the right position.When I finally managed to fire, I noticed I was too close so I backed and repositioned. At that moment my wife came in and I wanted to impress her so I fired several torpedoes to the largest tanker. We waited… nothing. After she left again I noticed I had fired in the wrong direction. I had my rear to the ship. I fired again and it bounced off the ship. The others were by now long gone.

Take two: This time I managed to sink the largest ship. But when I tried to find the other ships, they were lost in the vast ocean. I searched for days and days the whole area without ever finding any ship.

Take three: I managed to cripple the large ship. And after having read on the forum the best to attack the other, I managed to sink the rest of them. When the last ship went down I plotted a course to the crippled ship and started time compression. Suddenly I collided with the sinking ship and the whole crew went down.

If this was in real life I would probably NOT get a fourth try. On the other hand I would probably NOT have applied for a career as a sub captain either.

To be continued...

Are you playing with 100% realism. If you are, well then you're doing great, if you aren't and have automatic TDC and everything then I believen even Bernard himself would hit those ships better them you. But again, depends on the ammount of realism you're using!

any moment involving sailing in the english channel or through gibraltar.

One of my really "bloody hell!!" moments: I was going through Gibraltar ON THE SURFACE!!!!!!! (brave, but stupid). It was night (No, I aint THAT stupid:smug: ) and was constantly ready for any attack, although it came like a chock when a DD showed up on the right just about 100 meters away, I discovered him just when he started to hammer me.....but I lived to tell the tale, which is quite strange innit?

Bernard on guardduty I think....:nope:

Saturday night I was skulking around and stole into Southampton Harbour on a moonless night. Spent several hours eyeballing all the targets before I opted to down a berthed passenger liner (22422t), a Black Swan Frigate and a large tanker. So I'm sneaking out of the harbour feeling very smugly with myself, even phoned a buddy of mine back home in Australia to tell him.

Back at the dock the crowds erupt with euphoria, inside HQ it's gold oak leaves with swords and clusters, medals all round for the crew and a great time to look back at the first nine patrols and to see my name at the top of the tonnage list.:D

20 minutes later, nothing. My entire system failed to boot up. Raced off to the tech on Sunday to discover my motherboard is fried.

"Save my data".

Tech's put the game development of Deep Six onto a DVD for me but alas, with the impending business trip, my PC is gonna have to wait till I get back.

For all intense purposes, I have been removed from sub service and my history erased.:down:

On a lighter note, Mrs Pioneer reports that such actions were not uncommon for those members that eventually went into the spy service. :yep:
