Your not gonna believe this funny SH3 story
 

I was playing Silent Hunter 3 a couple of months ago and my sub was near Scapa Flow. A destroyer had been depth charging me for a couple of hours when I said "screw it" and decided to fight back. I went to periscope depth and the destroyer kept circling me while I was trying to get a good shot. I was using a VIIB class U-boat in 1940 on 100% realism with GWX 3.0 mod. I was heading flank speed when the destroyer mad a sharp turn in front of me and before I had time to react I rammed the destroyer (I believe it was a Hunt II class) near it bow on port side causing it to explode without taking any damage myself. It was obliterated!

Hello!
 

You was definitely lucky,in another act the boat and crew (even You) could easily go to the bottom.Yes we have all some weird U-Boat story..but you survival, that is important..:salute:

Carful with then Hunt class DD's my old man served on them :salute:

Great Sig Pappy55 :up:

*referring to thread title*

Your right, I don't :smug:

I've sunk a couple of destroyers by ramming, myself.

Actually, it would be more correct to say they rammed me, and destroyed themselves. It usually takes out my conning tower, including both scopes and the radio.

Me no likes destroyers. :dead:

Neither I do, but I never tried to ram one. I try not to ask for suizide, this is, was kept me alive. Actually september 1942. and still going strong!

It actually did happen
 

It was an accident and I wasn't quite sure what happened at first. The game didn't give me credit for the kill but oddly enough it registered on the map.

Some of those WWI vintage destroyers if you sit a PD and go head to head at flank, drop the scope at the last min to protect it, you will hear a big grinding sound as your tower rips the rusty bottom off the tub, after the screeching stops raise your scope again and watch it rapidly sink

nothing is as wierd as a plane glitch though!

when they go crazy,, they go crazy! (lol no sense but whatever)

some fly thousands of meters into the air, others fall gently to the ground like helicopters with no tail blades. once u see a airplane glitch, you wont foget it!

Best airplane glitch saw was when I had two catalina's trying to depth charge me and they flew into each other! LOL
