That's what I call a 100k ton BATTLESHIP!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

In my first career...I didn't get out of Kiel. Too long ago to remember the details, but it wasn't pretty...

The funniest thing, eh?:rotfl:

The first time I played SH3, I decided to skip the Naval Academy and proceed straight to the Campaign.:arrgh!:

I wasn't accustomed to the long load times (stock 1.3). When I finally reached my sub, I wasn't sure what to do, so I pressed various keys on my keyboard. When I looked to external view, the band was playing and inside the sub, TOTAL CHAOS!

Everything was falling apart! But the band played on...:doh:

As expected, I saw the "u-boat screen of death" and I saw my sister was watching me play SH3 over my shoulder... very embarassing!:oops:

So, I created a new rule: Don't skip the tutorials!:dead:
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

More like a shipping hazard. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Wow :o I just wonder what exactly _did_ Bon Scott have to endure before writing Whole Lotta Rosie :lol:

And oh, BTW, I almost screwed up another career today. I was hunting this convoy, and neither me nor my crew noticed a Storozhevoy coming in at flank speed until the buggeress was all over us! We crash-dived but she succeeded in DCing us quite accurately, which of course then resulted in us getting some very inconvenient and TOTALLY unproductive and uncool damage to our boat :o We did escape, however, but for a moment it definitely felt like she was Rosie and we were Bon Scott :lol:

Still, no matter. We escaped and even succeeded in sinking a tanker off that convoy later on :yep:

After reporting to BDU they replied that the first drink's on them (no really), so all's well that ends well I'd imagine :up:

S!

:rotfl: :rotfl: Hey, thats how Bernard was introduced to the Kriegsmarine! It also happend like that!

*I know that one, mate...btw; i never read assembling manuals when bying new stuff, causing me a lot of trouble...and i'll never learn..*

year 1944.... near the Channel........

-DD in attack run, sir!
-get ready to launch the TV torpedo!!
-open tube 3, rudder a midship,..... LAUNCH!
-torpedo in the water, sir!

......the acustic torpedo didn't hit the DD, so i turned on my right at flank speed to avoid the DD route. I did... BUT the torpedo was still following the DD on its back... IT CHOSE MY PROPELLERS NOISE AND HIT ME!!!!! :up: :know: :arrgh!: :rock:

Just remembered another one:yep:
Going through the Kiel canal at 10 knots in 300-400m visibility we almost crashed into an small tanker that had drifted into the middle of the canal. After doing an perfect left, right, right, left maneuver past it, cursing her captain, I ordered back to course and returned to my coffee.
The next moment the boat crashed into the left bank and that was the end of a glorious career, boat lost:dead:

The crew tried to do an 180 to get back to the way point we passed in the process. Did not think of that, my fault:oops:

''Gone in 60-seconds''

Discovering the wonderfull feature -Waypoints-

FULL AHEAD!

BANG-KLANG-SCRATCH-WE've FLOODING SIR!, UBOAT DAMAGED SIR!' WE'RE TAKING DAMAGE! KEBLANG!.....*blub*

:damn: I set the waypoint directly to my assigned grid ramming my IXD right into the concrete wall of the docks, thinking the Uboatcrew will sail the boat without my need ....nope, I then learned you had to put waypoint to waypoint drawing a nice route towards your grid.

@Seth, dont-ever-post-that-again!

ROTFL Hunter :lol:

Yep, exactly what happened to me too (re: my 1st post on this page), although I of course blamed Bernard :arrgh!:

There I was, all gung-ho and ready for 1944. Huddled in my French sub-pen, I was gloating at this nice bunker while airial mayhem went on outside :smug:

After it had quieted down a bit, I went on my merry way... suddenly a DD next to me opens fire, shoots down a RAF bomber, wich proceeds to smash my bridge to smithereens :huh: :rotfl:

GWX 2.1 in peacetime while in patrol I accidentally beached my uboot :damn:
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I once entered a french port. I made some repairs on my ship and by the time I was ready to leave port again, it was no longer under german command.
The port had become red and every ship in it became hostile. Also a subnet appeard.
I immediately went to periscope depth and was trying to leave port.
I didn't got very far. That was the end of my carreer :-(.

Bloody French....never could make up their minds which side they were on.

Just be grateful you weren't in the Med. :lol:
