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!
