tbarak, the B.D.U. would have your guts for garters if he knew you were letting cargo ships pass unmolested - even if you did manage to get a lot of tankers. "What you have got you have got".

I attacked a convoy and had to blow ballast after taking too much damage. Just as my boat reached the surface I was rammed by a Destroyer. We screeched past each other, hulls scraping and grinding for a moment. Then the Destroyer caught fire and blew up.

So Dekessey, perhaps you should try approaching the ship from the front or the rear and scrape your way along its hull. I should point out that I didn't survive this encounter though :D

Well after reading the comments I decided to let go. Ramming is obviously not a realistic tactic :doh: , like many other unrealistic behaviours in this game. It's a game after all.

Anyways, I managed to gain my missing reknown points on the next patrol to afford a type VII. Now I should have enough torpedoes and 88 rounds to finish my jobs! :cool:

If you ram a ship and sink it, do you get credit for it?:hmm:

No, you get your very own mermaid...you can play with her and when you've finished, just eat her...she's half fish afterall :up:

:smug: about the mermaid...just let her rot...put something on her so her body stay's stiff and Tie her on ur Nose like old Pirate Ships! :arrgh!: then you got ur own ''Please MTV! Pimp My Submarine!''

Excellent... Surprised they never did it! :88)

Hi folks im a newby to the forum and saw this thread and thought id let you know what i had happen to me in one of the single missions, it was the one were you had to take out 2 english carriers, O.K thought me lets go for it, expending all my torpedos, sinking the Aux carrier and damageing the main carrier, i went full ahead and surfaced to use the deck gun. but as i broke surface a destroyer cut across my bow far to closs for me to take avoiding action, i ramed it at full speed, it driffted to my starboard turned over and sunk. i was so amazed i didn't notice the other 3 destroyers blowing the crap out of my sub....needless to say i didn't last long.:roll:

So, if I ate a whole Mermaid, would I be half a cannibal? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Nope. You'd just be "special" for believing there are such things as mermaids. :p

I never ram ships, only one time that i found a corbette with a stern heavy flloding after a storm but without succes :nope: .

In my last patrol i had a C3 crippled and stopped with two torpedoes impacts, stern at a sea level , but it don´t sink, so i decided use the flak gun because i was out of 105 mm gun ammo.

First i fired and blow up all deck containers and stuff with the 20 mm AA gun, and after with the 37 mm heavy flak of my XIB boat.

it takes a lot of explosive shells in the hull and finally AP shells in the waterline, fortunately it sink after firing hundred of shells.

Welcome to the forum :D

Your experience sounds like mine. However I was surfacing as there were two ways for me to go, down to depths and a watery grave due to excess flooding, or blow ballast and take some of the sods with me. :arrgh!:

Yep Khayman, thats my feelings to NEVER SURRENDER !! and thanks for the welcome. I played Silen Hunter2 for some time, but Hunter3 is fantastic and im glad to have found a site with people with like wise feelings and who i have no dought will be more than willing to help with any problems....:D

go to the side that is loww in the water, and then ram him(use a big sub with lots of wieght). he will be pushed down

Stuck has a bug where you can sink at least a DD by pocking your periscope into the hull. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

even if you ram it you won't get credit for it, I sometimes ram those small wooden sailingboats and small fishingboats and it doesn't show up (if you gun them they show up).

LOL :rotfl:

I love the references to SH4.... that little glimmer of hope!

2 yrs later.... Did SH4 fix the ramming issue? Did team GWX allow for the "Steel Toed" Uboat?

Tune into the zombie thread and find out!!!

Are you using GWX2? Usually I don't use torpedoes on C2 cuz they don't give me enough tonnages for 2 or more torpedoes since they are harder to sink. But if I had to try use torpedoes, I would aim for bow near the tip of boat, like 1/3 from tip to bridge. I do that on C3, ore carrier, etc cuz water would rush more into their bow while they push themselves against the water as their bow weighting down, then their sterns start going up, showing their propellers and down she goes.

C2 in stock are easy to destroy using recognition manual within 1000m auto-aiming for engine or fuel depending on level of realism settings, you can find out what the depth of engine and fuel are in TDC where you can aim manually before changing back realism settings higher.

I've sunk a couple of badly damaged ships by ramming the bow or stern that's riding low in the water and riding up on her, pushing her down. Some people even punch 'dive' once they're on top.


One time, I was lining up for a stern shot on a pursuing destroyer. I looked at the torpedo computer for a second, looked back through the periscope, and :eek: --BOOM!!-- got rammed by the destroyer from behind, tower destroyed. Scared the hell out of me. As both periscopes were now out of action, I went to the hydrophone to find out what she was doing. Found her at about 290°, moving slowly. Lost contact a few seconds later. By the time I surfaced, the were only a few crates floating off to port.

You know... after looking at those pictures.. you DO have that nice cutter teeth on the front of the Uboat. So all you have to do is maneuver so that your bow is directly under the ship.. blow ballast and then go forward and reverse REALLY FAST !!! You'll slice that ship in half in no time at all !! :up:

I was forced to surface once by a REALLY pesky Black Swan. I set up to duel with the deck gun to the death. When I placed my crew on the gun and switched to the gun view, I swivelled the gun around and saw only bow. It rammed into me and at the same time, it's canon gunner fired. There was a HUGE explosion that killed all my crew on the surface and damaged pretty much everything. Apparently, the ship must have been too close to the explosion and she exploded as well (Maybe it was some kind of British Kamakaze ship !?!). It sailed on past my bow going flank speed and within secconds, it was underwater. To this day I've never seen a ship sink that fast.:o

Ask the skipper of the C2 to hang around while you nip back to port for some reloads.:lol:
