Went to external view...no aircraft, nothing in sight. So maybe another uboat is also in the vicinity but out of sight.
I cruise on(towards english coast) and about four hours later I am damaged. Hull integrity is 98%, both engines destroyed, all compartments damaged somewhat.
I was at periscope depth, didn't run aground, no ships/aircraft present...did I hit a mine?
Did the ship I was stalking and I both hit mines?
Running GW 1.1a.  |
If your anywhere near Dover in the channel yes its mines
The ship should have been ok as IIRC they will be around 10m below the surface to stop you :rotfl: and other subs
Maybe they not that deep :hmm: |
No they aren't very deep. Way early in the war while on the west coast of England we hit a mine. We were surfaced and doing 8kts. It was at the end of a frustrating patrol and thought we might do a bit of harbour raiding just to sink something. Needless to say, that was the end of my harbour raiding days. Limped into base and swore to never try that again. :rotfl:
