Your story reminds me of a custom mission I tried. As soon as the mission commenced (within 10 seconds), my boat was shelled repeatedly and was destroyed before I could dive to safety. I replayed it ten times at least. Each time my boat was destroyed. When I finally was lucky enough to submerge, survive a barrage of depth charges, and repair the damage, the attackers had sailed far away. Turns out that Peabody advised me that I had selected a mission where I was required to activate a playable Fuso and join the very enemy task force that had been bombarding my boat. Because I failed to activate the Fuso, my submarine popped-up at the outset of the mission smack in the middle the Japanese task force and was the proverbial sitting duck. I would summarize the experience as one resulting from a failure to comphrehend the mission. A HUGE, very BASIC mistake.  |
That reminds me of the time I was stalking a convoy, the convoy moved a little faster than I had anticipated and needed to get to periscope depth quickly after bobbing around at 100 feet or so.
So the order to blow ballast were given... twice
We popped up like a cork right in the middle of the convoy.
Funny thing was the escorts immediatly started shelling us regardless of what was in the way. A couple of freighters caught a few rounds for us and saved our ass.
