I couldn't pull the trigger...
 

Patroling SW off Ireland in a light fog I got a contact. Ran it down and there was a troop transport in my sights. Fed data to the weapons officer and set four fish to run at medium speed. But as it neared in the fog I saw it was a hospital ship, the first I personally had ever seen in GWX.

And I just couldn't do it. I couldn't pop a cap on her. So I ordered us to dive quietly and we snuck away.

All that beautiful tonnage right in my sights, and I couldn't pull the trigger.... :cry:

*CapZap takes his hat off and Salutes you, Kaleun* :up: :rock:
that's the true behaviour of a Gentleman....

Yeah shooting a hospital ship is a cheap shot.

Not to mention a HUGE renown hit
And a spanking back in port
If your career isnt over

:rotfl:

Interesting.

I have never blasted a Hospital ship, and I see them semi-frequently in War Ace.
Saw one travel by the shore units near Trondhiem, I passed departing into the channel and it got blasted. It had a Norway flag durring the Norway ops, clearly enemy but still. All those purty nurses.. vs. game mechanics. How fair is that? :huh:

Attacking hospital ships is just not done. Besides, as BBW said above, there's no tonnage, your career may end or you lose a lot or renown.

sank one a while ago... but i never left port again then... even if i sank 3 BB's after that

Really? The game might end your career if you sink a hospital ship? I didn't know that... :hmm:

try it out :yep:
the Fuhrer himselve shal shoot you then :shifty:

Maybe it's full of tommie soldiers?

wounded tommy soldiers...
but even then your career stops and you get shot :nope:

I once got rammed by a hospital ship - the first and only one I ever saw- when TC-cruising somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic.....although it had reduced my hull intergirty to something like 7% I didn't dare to sink the bastard because I was afraid my career would be terminated by BdU....

I should have returned to base naturally, but I decided to press on: I was sunk by a seagull that pooped on my deck....all hands lost! :dead:
