Ive never died so fast before....
 

So I was making my way out of a convoy at PD after sinking 3 nice big ones, one of which was a large tanker...:D

Normally I just go deep but this time I though I would try and stay at PD as there was a straggler (a tanker) not far behind the convoy...

Making my way out the back of the convoy the rear Black Swan was about 800yards off my starboard side. I though I had got past him but then he started pinging me (at this point I should have gone deep...:damn: ) he makes a hard turn towards me, launched two of the side DC's. I was watching from external camera ( I know its cheating, but I love watching the DC's falling around me) I knew it was going to be close, so I tried to order flank and 80m depth... but before I could do this the DC's exploded at the surface.... Im pretty sure only one landed "on me"...

Game over... I didnt even have time to see what was damaged but Im assuming it blew the conning tower away and flooded the control room, or did I die in the explosion? I'll never know...

That was only my second patrol in the U-68, IX-C...

My fault, lesson learned.

But damn, that was pretty good aiming buddy, impressive! :ping:

Sorry to hear that, mate.

I guess it's hard to miss you at PD. :D Better luck next time...

Well, peoof that you should mot take unnecessary risks. Honor to your dead.

piggy,

sorry for your loss, but at least you downed some steel. on one of my first missions i made an attempt on a battleship but failed. they sterted to give chase, i crash dived but forgot to check the depth:doh: . so i rammed my sub straight into the botom of the sea where we were all eaten by crabs.
i won't make that mistake again.


good hunting

subdude

Much beeter than it was in RL

At least you get a second chance :lol:

Maybe he rammed your conningtower. There is only a couple of meters between the top of the tower and the water surface when at periscope depth.
