Odd this topic came up..
Last evening
I survived 325 Meters in my IXC
after having been DC'ed for hours by three Destroyers.
They had me and weren't giving up.
The boat took a few hits and started heading to the bottom fast.
Four Sailors and a Chief dead and still going down.
160 Meters "approching crush depth" still flooding...
200 Meters.... still flooding crew trying to repair, not going well
we're really damaged. it's a lost cause for sure.
250 Meters.... was about to walk away from the game,
I didn't want to see it to the bitter end.
But.. I noticed two compartments had the flooding under control.
still sinking but a little slower..
I sat back down.. I actually shouted out loud!
and started moving the repair crew to the worse
sections... minutes ticked by..seemed like years
I'm actually talking to the repair crews
"come on boys you can do this!"
300 Meters.. all but one repaired..
320 Meters.. All Flooding repaired
I was waiting for the YOU'RE DEAD Screen.
looking at the depth gauge.
325 Meters!
leveled off and starting to climb back a safe depth.
Hull Integ down to 5%
Slowly moved away from the Destroyers and returned to base
Port Deisel,Stern tubes,forward tubes,conning,radio,deck gun all DESTROYED..
but my boat made it back.
not real life.. but whoa.. i'll never try to walk away again.
must have been 1 in a million to survive that. it's the deepest
I ever got and lived to tell about it.
