I'm A Little Depressed
 

My campaign as USS Trout (actually lasted longer than the real Trout) came to a horrible end today in the Southern Yellow Sea. I made it until March'45. While attacking a two ship convoy protected by three "D" class coastal defense vessels, I was hunted down and sustained massive damages which spelt my end:wah:

I detected this convoy at long range, and tracked it for some time, when it suddenly changed course and headed straight for me. The plot showed them practically running over me! After some positioning to give me some breathing room off the enemy's track, I closed at silent speed. Just as I was ready to fire (by this time it was almost point blank) the lead escort picked me up and started pinging. I quickly fired a spread of three torpedoes, two of which impacted. The third passed slightly ahead, due to the ships loss of speed. Lucky for me the two were enough. Anyway, the escorts managed some really close hits despite my twisting and turning, and caused critical damage and destroyed bulkheads with heavy flooding. I bottomed out at 258' where it ended. Funny how you could get so immersed in a game that you could actually feel a little bummed out when it ends. Oh well, new career on deck:yep:

Yes Sir, I know the feeling - but you fought bravely
until the bitter end.

March 45...well done. :salute:
And you went down with a fight taking a destroyer out. Any regrets?

I NEVER GOT TO SEE MY NEWBORN DAUGHTER!!!


Wait....

It's just a game.... :)

I've had several careers playing dead is dead, no saves other than port and made it to 44 and 45. Next thing I know I'm in Formosa fighting a convoy with 6 Type C escorts in 250 ft of water. Sometimes I live, but go back for more and end up dead.

One day I'll finish the entire war without dying. If I make it to 45 again, think I'll go patrol around the South Pole until the war is done.

lol :lol:
Red, you may want to surface a little more often...may be holding that periscope a little too tight. :ahoy:

:har::har:

Old Red is one torp short a full load....

Years ago when I first got in the game, I'd be right in the middle of a large TF, my wife would come in my PC room about 11PM in a sexy gown, made up and I would say, "not now honey, I'm about to sink a carrier." Thankfully the game doesn't mean that much to me now.

Your lucky,Armistead.Your wife came in a sexy gawn,mine came with a dish washers cloth.:timeout:

"Maybe....just maybe...."

Haha, that was years ago, it went from that to sweats and a t-shirt to now she don't come in trying to tempt me at all....The joys of marriage.

I bet you never heard the end of that "aircraft carrier" :O:

"Is that carrier more important than me?"
"Is that carrier more important than picking up the kids at practice?"

Etc....

GUY ON THE LEFT:"I want to sell you your daughter!"

I know the feeling. Reminds me of my Knights Cross-winning captain in SHIII who got blown up by a Catalina. A promising career cut short!

My sympathies.

Was she wearing it or carrying it?:woot:
