Definitely the River
 
River class. I seem to lose most boats to those killers.

I don't have so much issues with the Black swan. But the River class seems to have a huge asdic arc, that is instantaneously on your boat almost imeadiately after dropping charges.

Was this boat designed by a time traveler who learned of River Tam, (if any here are browncoats you will imediatly know of whom I refer.) Because it definitely has her characteristics.

The River class is the ship that probably sunk me most often. But overall, I hate planes, they killed me countless times and way more often than any ship :mad:

Wait till you all see Mush's remodeled Riverclass!!
It sends shivers down my spine and I can spot it from
from miles away now!! :o

The one that's the closest. But once we're under, I wait for my chance to strike, after shaking them. One good hit and they will stay busy for hours while I leave the area in the direction of the convoy.

Me too:up:

One question Spray, are you playing GWX? because if you are I'm impressed. Don't think I'd want to mess with those nasties at all:o

Yeah im playing with GWX made it to 1943 in a IXB so far without dying :o at one point I had 2% hull intergrety left though... Anyway Ive sunk about 50 warships in 23 patrols and about 100 merchants.

What I meant was the submarine was made to take out the surface dwelling ships I didn't say it was made to take out DD's alone but I did say you should not fear them. Gee I think sometimes people intentionally misinterperet my posts at an attempt to make me look stupid or I just don't come across clearly.

No don't worry, I just wondered that's all. I just run for cover when I see GWX DD's they tend to be like dogs with a bone. I'm mighty impressed matey well done:up:

Seriously its nothing I just take it to mental representations, never underestimate a DD true it is a dangerous enemy but you can easily destroy them all it takes is one torp and they're gone. Playing FPS normally has negative impacts for sub games and other games requiring patience but the way I view it. This is just a game when and if I die I would have lost nothing and gained lots of enjoyment from it. Its an all in attempt or nothing I will sink any ship that will benefeit the fatherland.

Normally I skip on small merchants etc but attack the escorts just for the sake of it. THen if its calm seas ill go Gunther Prien on their ass.
