Ah, it´s time for my Valletta story again. :rotfl:

Cant remember the details too good anymore, but here it goes:

WaW patrol, Adolf Bummer Jr. (or II), with having a poor patrol I messaged BdU and asked permission to go and photograph the port of Valletta in Malta island. BdU granted the permission and off I went. To cut the story short, it was stormy weather, I was 2km from the port when I was detected by the port DD´s (5 DDs & 1 Torpedo boat). The water was very shallow, ~25 meters. I went full speed ahead while I was DC´d by almost 180 charges in total. It took 1½ hours realtime to reach the deeper waters that were ~100km away from the port.

Results: Heavy flooding, 2 crewmen dead, periscopes destroyed and some other minor things I can remember atm. But I gotta say, that has been the only time I was really afraid while playing SHIII, my hands shook everytime a DC exploded nearby.
