I also wasn't sure about full speed because the ecorts sounded as if they were taking turns on me until the end wehn they all seemed to pound me at once. As one of them passed over me I didn't know if another would pick me up from short to medium range. Oh well, lessons learned...
That last barrage was incredible. It was as if they all hit me at the same time, which I think was the case because I never in the years of playing SH4 since it's initial realease have experienced anything like it. My hat's off to Ducimus and/or Lurker because this felt real. I kind of seal myself off from the world when I do this so I can really get into it. The helpless feeling as I was sinking had a definite air of realism to it. It was an experience that I can't tell my wife about because she would likely check me into some sort of rehab for subsimers, so I had to post. I fugured you guys would understand.

Ahoy matey!!! Welcome aboard and we're glad you survived the ordeal to tell us about it.. Momsen lungs are quite an invention aren't they???
In my case a real sinking by the stern happened once in Rabaul. There was this dastardly, apparently elite, DE, patrolling the shallows to port Rabaul, when I decided to floor it the minute he turns around. Bastard turns once and flashes, boom! I'm *ucked....
Anyways, do try to get Dick O'kane's
Clear the Bridge and
Wahoo for your library.
