I think what got me was all the pieces falling off the ship.
We've all seen the great hit where the ship explodes and all the pieces, masts, lifeboats, stacks, structure, etc, blow off the ship and with the sound of crunching screeching metal fall/bounce/tumble off the hull into the water.
I never knew that these objects actually could hit/touch a sub model.
Well, it seems they can. I heard the explosions going off - I had already started my dive and pushed the scope down with control-page down and gone to the map screen to plot my escape when the boat started taking damage. I thought maybe I had not dived quickly enough and was crashing into the hull of the tanker. So I jumped back to F3 and the scope was just entering the conning tower and I could see pieces of ship in the water all around me. I hit F7 to get to damage control but it was all over before I got there.
I think it was like the 44th patrol.
