Surrounded by sailors? Your bravery is commendable, Herr Kaleun!

So, what's Stalingrad like? I hear it's right chilly there in the winter.

I'd run out of eels to shoot at her and didn't wan't to wait two months to use the deck gun again.

Sadly, I also had a bad habit of plotting my course without zooming in close enough on the map to see all the up close and personal details of the shoreline, especially the bits that stick out a bit farther into the water than they appear to when you're not zoomed in to that specific area on the nav map.

Protip: those bits do not recede into the mainland if you unknowingly plot a course right through them, and running up on them at flank speed will not scare them out of the way either.
Yep...Done that! :yeah:

Yes indeed,my wife wandered into the study the other day while I was on patrol off the Dutch Coast."I like the sound of the waves" she remarked,
"Listen to this!" I said thinking to impress her with a crash dive.Bang!Straight into sea bed!Shouting,scrreaming,alarms.......My wife gave me an odd look and headed for the garden.

After blundering into a convoy at high tc with no torps left and getting set upon by what seemed like the whole navy I had to start a new career,which started well and got even better in the 2nd mission when returning to Wills come across a C2, 2 torpedos saw it explode into 2 peices great I thought, I plotted a course right into the dock and was enjoying the welcome bands in the dark when all of a sudden "destroyed by collision":wah:
I've got to start career no 3 now.

Well, my Bernhard had an odd impression form one of the radio messages from BdU that we ought to return to Kiel. We succesfully navigated Kaiser Wilhelm Kanal and set in Kiel. Only to be welcomed with new mission:
1. Depart from Kiel.
2. Patrol area: NULL
3. Return to Wilhelmshaffen. :D

While returning, Bernhard took control again. And managed to avert a close collision with piers of the first Hochbrugen. Only to tell navigator to get us on course again.

WITHOUT DELETING THE WAYPOINT WE PASSED. EOC. :damn:

The story about Gaijin sinking his own supply ship. That is truly epic :DL

crash dive in 12 meters of water!:O:

Pressing the "2" (Ahead One Third) key, when I should have pressed "F2" (Control Room).
This is not particularly bright while using Silent Running.
Repeat offender.
