Convoy dropped out of the sky
 

I was on patrol in grid AL67. I recieved a radio contact update of a convoy to the NW of my position moving E/NE. I went to full speed and relocated to a position to intercept the convoy. I went to periscope depth and listened but heard nothing. I started back along the most likely route the convoy was on still at PD and slow.
About 20 minutes later With No Warning I simultaneously recieved a radio contact update of the convoy at my position and sustained a collision with a flower corvette. My hydrophone operator was also starting to report sounds of merchant engines. Tried to crash dive but the corvette began dropping charges and it was all over. Where did these guys come from? It seemed they literally dropped from the sky. Maybe it was a secret British stealth weapon.

its a known bug

I need to check in here more often.

Not so, in 1941, Coastal Command, working alongside the Royal Navy came up with the Air-Dropped Ship (ADS) program, known to the Kreigsmarine as the 'Luft-Konvoi'.
Below is a rare picture of the Luft-Konvoi being tested by a specially modified Wellington off the Suffolk Coast at the Orford Ness testing grounds.

Now you see why Oberon was kicked out of MI6. He just can't keep a secret.

Didnt they drop a u-boot by air in to some lake in america :hmm:

Show me any WWII-era plane that could lift 750 tons of ship and I'll give you my life savings.

Did this happen while you were using time compression or were you playing at 1x when it occured?

Oberon, I just have to ask this-- Is that 'photo' edited?? :)

Sure looks like it.

Perhaps some of these pictures can add to the discussion.

Especially notice the airborne patrol craft.

(its a joke someone made in another thred.)
err....about a year and a half ago

I believe you are all mistaken. The British got hold of a Klingon cloaking device, uncovered from a foiled attempt by the Klingons three hundred years from now to go back into Earths past and destroy the human race.

Dowly, where can I get the camoflage skin for my U-Boat? Pretty cool, comes in handy I bet for land invasions!

It´s my edited version of the Isitol´s skin. Hack in to my computer & download it and BRAVO, you have it! :D
