Merchant crew:
"- There's a torpedo in the water! Quick, EXTREME SPEED AHEAD!
- Sir, what??
- Ok then, activate bouncy-bouncy countermeasures!
- Roger that! Bouncy-bouncy generator charging...
- C'mon, it's coming!
- Sir, it's charging. Aaand... done!
(Torpedo BOOOM)
- Bouncy-bouncy activated!
- Too late, you fool!"
Thank god they upgraded the generator later in the war...
although it didn't came in time to prevent Pearl Harbour.
The improvement of the bouncy-bouncy secret weapon was the real reason with so many U-boats got destroyed. The "sunk by depth charges" typical bogus was used in order to secure the secrecy of such terrible weapon. U-boats couldn't sunk any ship and the crew morale was so low that the the sailors decided to stopped doing their duties. The U-boat captains were unable to avoid crew strikes, not even by repeatedly talking to them about their wives, and they inevitably had to sunk themselves in order to avoid the shame and the wrath of the mighty Gestapo treason related questions.
As you can see, all this is replicated in the game... SH5 is the most historical accurate game until now.
