I was playing last night, and I had the delight of sinking a Large Cargo in U-55, it was a submerged attack during daylight hours in the reasonably shallow waters of the Bay of Biskay. Now this is where it gets stupid. Having put the big boy out of commission. I decided to return to course and speed up TC a bit!
LMAO BIG mistake!
Underwater, the U-boat turned straight underneath the sinking hulk, the ship, actually landed on top of the back end of the sub! I wish I had a photo to prove it, but the back end of the sub was so busted up, you wouldn't credit it! U-55 went striaght to the bottom and eventually rested on the sea floor at 198m
Thankfully with the one electric engine that still worked, I was able to get out from the underside of the ship!
So eventually clonk! There I was on the bottom. Damage crew working like government mules to sort it out! :rotfl:
After a fair amount of time, the flooding in the aft torpedo room, electric room, diesel room was stopped. *phew*
Damage report:
Aft Torpedo tube destroyed.
Compressor Destroyed.
Starboard Diesel Destroyed.
Decoy Launcher Destroyed.
Flak Gun Destroyed.
LOL "Does anything on this heap still work?!" I asks exasperated at the screen, as if expecting my chief to reply to me. But he didn't.
Using what little compressed air was left and with about 80% power left in my batteries reaching the surface was possible, then it was flank speed all the way back to St Nazaire! Luckily encounters with planes was minimal, had a hell of a lot of luck I did! Maybe I need to trade in my VIIB I think its a bit obsolete now - either that or the sub needs to trade in its captain!
