Yep, shallow water blows. I was coming home from a mid-Atlantic patrol once and caught caught by an English DD in the shallows of the Bay of Biscay at night. Like he was just waiting to catch a uboat coming home. He did, he caught me.
I went under as deep as I could and was pounded into fragments by his depth charges. Compartments flooded, clones died, others had red exclamation marks over their heads. I was so frustrated at the bad luck. There was nothing I could do but take the pounding and watch the seconds tick away towards my ultimate demise. Which happened rather sooner than later.
Then I was staring at that horrible death screen, my blood boiling....and as I play DiD I then took a deep breath and started up a new career. Scratch one Kaleun, enter another.
