Why didn't you fire at it?

Tehehehe! Got a giggle. :D I'm surprised it gave you credit for that. I suppose ramming has now become a legitimate form of combat, at least for BdU...

I got 1 round in 'em with the deckgun before he submerged, thats why.

If you are talking about shooting a torpedo.. you cant fire torpedo's past around ~30m depth. Dont think the inner torpedo doors can take the pressure.


But even if i could.. once i got the necessary arming distance away, i wouldn't be able to see him through the murk. Then there's the whole issue of torpedo running depth.

it's just not pratcial

So you tea-bagged a sub? ;)

Your my hero:rock:lol

AHAHAHH that was great!! :)

:har:

It's like watching a good high speed chase... without the high speed, and taking hours instead of minutes. :DL

This thread goes good with my sig.... except maybe the silent part, but definitely running deep, running them ragged, and not letting them sleep.

What should the final tactic be called?
The Persistent Submersible Bumper Cars maneuver?
Or the Delayed Davey Jones' Locker Express Tour Arrangement maneuver? :arrgh!:
Or the formation of Demolition Derby fan groups made up of merfolk? :hmmm:

Overall, I like the captions tossed onto the screen shots, it is a very amusing and entertaining subject.

GAY ... Fun I'm sure but still from a realism point of view :hmmm:......:down:

How about 'The Sit On His Head Until He Drowns' maneuver?

BE MORE AGGRESSIVE!! http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Lol, good job! UBoot Cmdr adopting Orca tactics to drown enemy sub. :o

ROFL.... NICE 1 :up:

It's not a problem of doors but of how the launch system was engineered.

It used compressed air to push a piston behind the torpedo. If the outside pressure was too high the air wouldn't expand pushing the piston and, in turn, the torpedo out of the tube.

The piston arrangement, while heavy (each time the torpedo tube was reloaded, the piston had to be removed first) allowed the submarine to release the missile without creating a massive bubble of air escaping the tube, giving away the boat position on the surface.

I think on type XXI this arrangement was dropped in favor of water ramming the torpedo out of the tube. (But I'm not sure if this arrangement was experimental or used on all the boats). This allowed the submarine to fire torpedoes at any depth regardless of the external pressure.

Where did you read that?
The larger S and enormous T class boats could do about 90m no problem and they had a dodgy Oval shaped pressure hull - to accomadete the 6 internal fore tubes.
Afaik the U class had a more sturdy 'cylinderical' hull like a U-boat
I guess th S and T class would have been far more vunerable to DC attacks....

Haha, that was pretty darn cool. :DL

Congrats! that's awesome. Unrealistic true, but very awesome hehe. :salute::yeah:

:rotfl2:
Awesome kill!
