Say hello to my "sloop" gun
 

That's what you get for joyriding in daddy's yacht in the middle of a war!:rotfl:

That yacht could be carrying guns for the resistance, so it was good move

Doenitz: Ah Bernard what a relaxing afternoon, i never knew how peaceful the Dover Strait was in April
Bernard: Oh look sir there's U-43
Doenitz: Looks like they must have spotted an enemy ship getting the deck gun prepared and everything. Should be a good sight
Bernard: Oh i agree sir

Try doing the same thing with a 20mm flak-vierling:arrgh!:

Poor lil' sloop :roll:

Im intrested to see what it says in the captians log :D

"Yacht was the size of a BB but had even heavier armament" http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

:rotfl: Just wandering about the tonage bet its not even 1 ton, must have been strange to hear the crew cheering as it whent down :lol:

Yachts have radios
 

I tried the same idea on a yacht, inSept 39. Winds too high to man AA gun, so I says to Bernard flank speed prepare to ram. Turns out yacht had a steel hull and my type IIa just bounced off, gave it a few more tries, both glancing blows before I gave up and beat feet away from the area. I watched as the yacht lazily sailed away, and a short time later I was running for my life from three DDs hot in my tail. fortunately I was in deep water and managed to give them the slip.

Consider yourself lucky. In SH1 if you rammed a wooden sampan with your big fleet boat you sank. Instantly. I found this out the hard way.:dead:

It's they RN way of luring u-boats. Woody camo, steel armor!:nope:

Tried it myself with the same result!:cry: got bored so I left it and went north and found a whaling ship and costal tanker!:arrgh!:

I thought it was kinda funny that there wasnt even a life boat popping up from that one.

Lifeboats don't spawn from the smaller vessels http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif
