Once when i was cruising around the british coast in my trusty old II-D i spotted an Elco Torpedo-boat heading towards me, he was clearly very very mad at my presence in his back yard and decided to sink me with his nasty machineguns. Boldly and bravely i stared into the gates of hell, headed straight towards him, my lone 20mm AA-gun blazing fire and death in his general direction.
I have deactivated hull integrity view so only wai i could know about my damages was the constant yelling from my CE that "WE ARE TAKING DAMAGE!" and the hizzing and ricocheting from the Elcos bullets. A dreadful and exhausting battle between these two titans (my II-D and the Elco) started, with me emerging as the victorious champion. I was out of torps allready so i headed home, just to discover i had 11,76% hull integrity after that patrol (accessed trough SH3 Commander). I was in chock and peril. I hadn't encountered anything dangerous earlier on than the Elco and yet it took almost 90% of my HI with the machinegun? What was he loading that gun with? Depleted uranium-tungsten high performance anti-capital-rounds?
Nevertheless i had the trusty mechanics at Kiel weld my tug together again and off i went, always remebering my near-death encounter with the most dreaded vessel of the seas.. the ELCO!
Fear the fast-moving, torpedo and MG-armed reaper!
