Your greatest escape from a Destroyer
 

Anyone have any cool stories about a near miss with a destroyer, I have one.

So three are chasing me, one starts pinging me. I fire my aft torpedo and it hits him and it sinks. It swerves in front of another so that one has to stop.
I flank speed ahead for a while until the aft torpedo is ready again.Another destroyer pings me, fire aft torpedo and he's sunk.
so now I have just one destroyer left, I hard to starboard and so does he. I stopped to avoid going right under him and reverse. Now he is in front of me so I fire tube 1 and 4. Both hit him and sink him. I surface the the boat and return to base safely. :D

Doesn't sound like it was greatest to me :haha:

Or coolest. :haha:

I've got some good ones posted somewhere

One was how I escaped 2 destroyers and 3 frigates in 30 meters of water.


The other was how I managed to crash 2 destroyers together.

I tend to surface and throw empty beer cans at them...that usually does the trick.

No doubt it'll be Newcastle brown :D

No a daft bugga....they would be beer bottles :o

I hit a mini-convoy, got spotted by a destroyer who stayed with the DIW merchant I'd just disabled. While trying to line up a shot, I gave myself away, and the destroyer landed a DC on my after deck. after using emergency blow combined with "hold depth" for long enough to know that my electrics were never coming back, and that I only had one diesel left, i decided to try my luck and shooting the merchant on my next bob up. Periscope up, emergency blow, hold depth at 12 meters, saw a destroyer turning, took my shot at the destroyer!

poof, no destroyer, limped home on one diesel. painful lesson: don't get caught.

Cool to me don't know about anyone else...

At night cruising south on the surface at 64TC toward a distant target, bad idea to start, I get the warship spotted popup and drop to realtime about 1-1.5 km from a destroyer heading north. Luckily he hasn't seen me but I'm feeling froggy so I turn into him and fire off a tube. It's looking good until about halfway through the torpedo's run when his spotlights come on.

He pours on the power and turns toward me, now within 700m when BOOM the torp hits him just behind the bow on the port side and he looks like a sub himself as he glides beneath the surface. The water was just deep enough that only the top of the mast was left visible flag still dry and waving.

I think these are all cool stories!

Only last night I had to take a phone call, so I switched off SH3. :har:

Cruising north of Ireland, heavy storm, 15 meter visibility, if that.

I get a feeling, and dive. Not 300 meters away, sonar gets a destroyer contact. I dive, and bottom out (It has actually worked for me in the past) Well, this guy drops ashcans on me to the point I'm heavily damaged. I figure, "Wait till he starts his next run, surface, and flank dead south". Somehow or another, I surface with him no where to be seen, get away, back to St. Nazarie.

I love DD,they are gullible :smug:

Shoulda put the patrol on hold :03:
