What happens when your uboat gets rammed by a destroyer ?

I'd say an apology by the DD skipper would be much appreciated.

:D

Hi ParaB , actually i hope to see a sinking sub at least .

Just kidding... well, I hope that a DD crashing into a sub at full speed will cause a bit more damage than in (stock) SHIII where you'd usually get a bent periscope or two.

I think I even remember one time after a ramming the DD actually sunk while I had a damaged AA mount...
:hmmm:

IRRC there was a bug in SH3 where if you hit a DD just right u could sink it and take no damage yourself:rolleyes:

... the destroyer will sink :arrgh!:

proof! wi niid proof!

maybe split in half

hopefully you hear some gawd awful screeching noise, everyone in the boat is freaking out running around like chickens with their heads cut off, someone is screaming ALARM, the boat is flooding, and you, the captain, are readying stern torpedoes for a snapshot.

when down in the command room you will see your crew fall over when the sub gets hit and tilts to one side, and yes there is a terrible screeching sound

Oh cool! Does your crew react to depth charging too?

Because it looks like you can't die, I'm guessing if you get pinned against the periscope housing a la Schepke, you get +25 damage to your lower extremites and are forced to hobble around the boat at half-speed.

If its like SH4 the DD will explode into flames and sink :har:

:rotfl2: :rock:

I agree with the general concensus. SH3 and SH4 had problems with destroyers sinking after ramming you, and your boat pretty much unharmed. The destroyer should take some damage, but the player shouldn't be around to see how much.

I got rammed and notice no difference from SH4

oh well, im not surprised if this wasnt corrected


both the DD and the sub should get badly damaged in a collision


too often people think the DD shouldnt sink but thats not reality, ramming a sub was in fact likely to sink the destroyer or at least cause significant flooding because they were designed for speed and not as a battering ram

yeah i noticed they were falling over when i had a couple of depth charges dropped next to me and the sub was rocking, also the floor in the command area will flood

thats strange, I recall reading somewhere that some destroyers/escorts were reinforced to be able to ram uboat.

...or is that a hollywood phenomena? Just like hollywood 'invented' that gunmen get thrown back after being shot dead.

Got anything to back that up?

Ramming subs was very common in the reports on uboat.net, but no sinkings are listed for the DDs.
