I did it again!
 
After sneaking into Truk Lagoon in the Barbarinna, and sinking a freighter, destroyer, FUSO BB, and Hiryu Fleet Carrier, my boat's batteries were quite low. Rather than risk a race to the open sea on the surface or just below it (partially submerged so that batteries would recharge), I moored in a nearby Japanese boat slip. It was bracketed by three freighters, so no destroyers located it. Then I surfaced and recharged the batteries. I took awhile as time compression was restricted to 4x, but finally was able to recharge them to the point where I could submerge and escape. After departing Truk, I made my way to Midway where I was awarded the Silver Star.

I'm playing if they sink me I restart, so that is way to risky for me lol.

Great work, did you take any screenshots?

I'm goin' down 04-25-13 06:27 AM

no screenshots. I pulled this off once before, but on that occasion two destroyers and one patrol boat tried to sink my boat. The quay wall in the boat slip absorbed all of the depth charges. The destroyers sunk the patrol boat in their attack, but never hit my boat.

I hope you're not thinking about starting another court marshall proceeding. :/\\!!

Going down, before the Admiral has you up on charges, please state your mods configuration, percent realism, etc. Those factors could weigh in his decision.

Actually, it never crossed my mind, until you guys mentioned it. However, I see no charges here. IGD has been a friend of mine for numerous years, I should've just took his word. He may be stupid, but he's never been a liar, so my apology to him.

lol comeon we need another trial

I'm goin' down 04-26-13 08:36 AM

I would never make up a story. This is serious business!
 
Oh. My crew is modest. They did want me to disclose that after floating into Tokyo Bay on the surface in high tide in broad daylight, the Barbarinna successfully attacked and sunk the Yamamoto, which was surrounded and protected by eight dds, via a surface attack using only the deck mounted 50 caliber anti aircraft gun. There is no point in wasting torpedoes on the easy targets.

What's that old saying, "be careful what you wish for"?
If I recall, the next "person of interest" on Admiral Armistead's docket was one...."les green01". You might consider yourself fortunate that court was adjourned...for now, and continue to "lay low". :cool:

les green01 04-26-13 09:35 AM

I know for a fact the Admiral does not take kindly to harbor-raiding. You don't mess with someone of the Admiral's self-appointed rank and stature and get away with it. Think I'm kidding, ask LCDR Eugene Williams...if you can find him. :)

Williams may have been cleared of charges but did you notice how he mysteriously disappeared after the trial. The Admiral is a very powerful and influential force. By the way, have you seen the Ubirat bilge lately, someone is down there scraping it and putting a new coat of paint on it. :hmmm:

Just to refresh your memory:

That's not possible, in any world.

A court martial, on the other hand...
