:yawn: sorry I'm tired OK heres what happen as far as I remember.

OK after I destroyed the escorts I surfaced to take on the Revenge, it opened fire with its front gun killing my WO and destroying my flak guns I got 3-4 shots in before her guns reloaded, I was using the UZO to target her when she turned and when I saw all the guns on that ship I had the sudden urge to use the loo. It fired and they all missed, well they fell short by about the length of my arm, but the morale dropped nearly as far as my jaw.

Not so lucky next time they all hit but the big ones missed I think, the game changed to Cat and U-mouse. I dived went low and fast and ran,
I think she made room in her schedule this is where most of the 24 hours are. After running around for a long time, suddenly, "NA:shes going down"
I was like "Whaaa?". I surface no Revenge only a fireball sinking into the sea. Back to base check the logs "OMG! I sunk the Revenge"

Now no more 20 questions thats the whole thing (Well I had to cut it down a bit).

BdU: "Kaleun, why is there a page torn out of your boat's log?"

lol sinking a bb with deck gun :rotfl2:

Wow i mean, if this is true, how can you even enjoy playing this game anymore. Everything must feel so boring after this experience. :yawn:

Sinking Revenge with the deck guns is too easy, even using the flak guns is simple....
Due to a recent re-stocking in the Canaries Islands, I had coconuts and pineapples on board, which I sank Revenge by throwing them at it whilst the crew sat on deck drinking Pina Coladas snd sun-bathing.

Interesting. The last I heard, one hit from a battleship would sink a u-boat. Instantly.

You are too modest, Cherry. Word has it that your crew seriously damaged Hood in the Norwegian campaign by spitting ligonberries at her. :salute:

Nice read, i've learned lot of things today! Uboot vs battleship... Thanks for the good laugh! And you know what i like the most? "now I'm looking for some other Battleships"
Priceless... :har:

LOL :DL

Very careful now...
 

More important, if you are in enemy areas, don't rely on your sound man. Go yourself and have a listen. It sounds like you may have clicked on 'follow nearest contact' button, so of course you got one report.

Listen yourself, the scope around making sure to watch the sky for aircraft too.

Good luck next time.

Well I've got a new target to shoot a plane down with the deck gun.

the 88 would not have the power to go through a tank at 7km, nor the accuracy to hit it more than 5% of the time in absolutely perfect conditions. whats the chance of the guns on a battleship being disabled, when the round has a chance of nill to go through the armor, while shooting from a rolling and pitching platform while moving and shooting at another moving platform and doing this with only 200 or so rounds? I also forgot to mention all these rounds being HE and thus having little to no penetration ability, and even less accuracy due to inherent ballistic characteristics compared to a solid or semi-solid AP round.

Correct. Also, lest some people confuse the issue, the 88mm gun on U-boats is not the same 88mm gun that terrorized Allied and Russian tank crews. That gun was a flak gun and was the basis of later dedicated anti tank guns and guns mounted in tanks like the Tiger. The 88mm gun on the U-boats was simply a naval gun of the same calibre, but not of the same punch as the land version. There was simply no way the 88mm naval gun would even injure a battleship, let alone sink it. The belt armour on some battleships was as thick as eleven inches, perhaps more.

I have shot down a plane with the 8.8 in stock, i shot down a liberator somehow (my crew shot it down) also in gwx i shoot down airships in a custom mission with it. (again it was my crew doing the shooting)

can anone compare the differences between the naval 8.8 and the tank hunter 88 shell?

I sunk a hunt I with my 88 at about 7500m myself all it was only a puff of smoke off in the distance plus it didn't even see me.

Hey everyone! i was following the scharnhorst and gneisenau around when i watched them run away from a convoy because the ramillies was in it! so i went and destroyed it with my deck gun!
picture for proof!

LOL!! its one thing to lie about your personal like (Not even saying he is, though...)

But to lie about a game, that all of us play so much and know about SO MUCH, is just ludicrous..

Its like arguing about the tiles on a space shuttle is made from XXXX material to the guy who installs them/invents them

Man, that is art, true art. The foreshortening of the horizon lets us see Ramillies' dire predicament at the hands of your hardened gunners, yet your delicate, graduated shading of the water tells us Ramillies is many, many kilometers away -- probably so far away that its crew is looking upwards, sighing "Whence this deadly rain of shot and shell?" as their ship Kasplodes under their trembling feet.

And I see you are using the what_my_silly_little_pop_gun_should_sound_like.mod . Nice touch!

Out with that glossy of the fat cow at the night club, this goes over my bunk. Strike that.. it goes over everybody's bunk.
