crew man killed
 

has anyone had a few of your crewman killed and if so how? ive been pretty much an all or nothing kind of guy, if you know what i mean :nope:

i once had 3 gunners killed :shifty:
a fighter attacked me
wiping the first 2 gunners off
then attack run again but only got 1 this time:shifty:

Two thirds of my crew dead one smashed up boat and the rest of the crew brown pants time. And that's before I even got out of port!!! Bloody Alie bombers. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I don't even have a doc on board yet. For me, once the first man sheds a drop of blood, it pretty much means everyone is going to be tossing buckets of it in a few seconds.

I either come back to Wilhelmshaven without so much as a shaving nick, or I don't come back.

My first watch officer and flack gunner killed (VII B early 1940) by a bloody armed tug, who then depth charged us. After burial at sea, we crept home with badly damaged boat.

Entire watch crew dead with one shell from a DD.
Dove deep to escape and then surfaced that night to perform a moving burial at sea, courtesy of the Gramaphone playing Coldplay's "Swallowed in the Sea"...:cry:

You will never be forgotten, boys...

One of my former patrols was pretty tuff. I ended having 7 dead crewmemners after a tripp to Hell-gland and back in my second Boot on my 7th patrol!
Poor sods!:shifty:
And i thought i could pull off a few more patrols and retire my Boot and crew:dead:

That one's still with me!

Thank God I'm not serving on your boat! :o

Just yesterday I got careless and decided to have gun duel with a pair of spitfires, Nov. 44. I figured that the torrent of fire from my 3 AA guns would make splinters out of them. I was wrong. On the first pass my 4 man AA crew was shredded. No time for the medic. The shreds of flesh and uniform were washed off the deck as we made our crash dive....

Sounds like Keelbuster has some openings . . .

I once heard "a wise commander dives without shame from anything with wings"

A mine will reliably kill the two men in the sonar/radio room. The blast can also burn off members of the watch.

update - I've scraped some of the rust off my wisdom and i'm back at sea with 4 new sardines - Dec 11, 1944. I'm 70k short of my million.

Keelbuster's back! I just now noticed. :88) Welcome back man.

Thx Duce. Good to be back. Not sure what it was, but something brought me back to SH. I had a long stint in BF2142, and I actually got dosbox and started playing some early 90s games (Jagged Alliance!!). For some reason I needed to be at sea once again. Maybe it's all this talk about GWX. After I tie off this VII career (NYGM 2.2), and now that I've got a gig of ram, I'm planning to go GWX w/yer tweek pack, and a IXC career, DiD as usual.

Well, ill tell ya what, ill swap ya later on. If i ever finish this IXD2 career in the indian ocean, ill go back to the VIIC career game i started :88) We'll trade places . :rotfl: althought lately Elderscrolls 4: oblivion, and BF2 has taken a weee bit of my time. I balance it out, i just need another diversion now and then.
