Damage on leaving Port?
 

Hi Guys,
Taking U-36 ou today on a patrol...coming out of Wilmshaven and bang....DAMAGE!! I looked around no enemy ships or aircraft...what can it be, is it mines? did my keel touch the seabed...any thoughts??
THX

Probably a mine :yep: But it would be helpful if you could state what version of the game you are playing (SH3 vanilla/stock) doesn't have any :up:

Did you hit the sea wall by any chance?

I remember on my very first patrol, I ordered all ahead full out of Kiel - next thing WHAM! straight into the sea wall, and was sunk.

Thanks guys...im playing GWX of course..heh! must have been a mine but i did not see anything. Yes i too in my early days wacked straight into Kiel harbour..lol!

Pull the map down and you can see where the mines and nets are at in friendly ports.:up:

You should encourage harbor accidents. Just today, I hit my escort on the way out of Wihelmshavn. Bernard was in the tower while I was down below confiscating contraband... I went up for a smoke and.... "Whoa, BACK FULL, HARD TO STARBOARD!!"

Whanged her at 5 knots, and it was the rudder over hard that saved us. Sounded like a sheet metal shop sh*tting peach pits for a few seconds, but we didn't get a scratch on us. You really can't beat a VIIB for off-road fun, but I still made Bernard bunk in tube 5 for a week.

And after that bad start? 12 ships, 84K tons, set up a good solution on Nelson inside the Hebrides (but couldn't fire; 2K m in broad daylight with calm seas; they would have nailed me), hattricked a pyro, LM and an LT in one convoy, shot down an Anson, and still got home in 23 days.

So... from now on... I am just going to ram Tirpitz on the way out... for luck, you know.

So that's the secret ? :hmm:

:lol:

tell me somthing :roll: :lol:

Isn't it obvious......your a crap driver :arrgh!:

thats what you get when bernard's the engineer.
ordered back flank. he did ahead flank :shifty:

threw him on the DD after that.

The Wilhelm Heidkamp no doubt :arrgh!:

:hmm: mayby

:rotfl:Priceless!

I left Bremen Once, and got bombed about a minute after leaving port, destroyed both my Diesel's, my shortest patrol ever

Lol at least you got out of port! I was just emerging from the bunker when I got bombed by B-25's/24's. A flight of about 15 of them decimated the harbour I was coming out of!

well, more of a minute after leaving the dock, not out of hte harbor yet. thankfully the Adrimal Hipper was sitting in port, gave me decent air cover, not like it helped much

Have yo ever tried scurrying back to the pen.....then see what happens ? :hmm:
I'll not spoil the outcome, just in case you try it ;)
