I've been away from SH3/4 for a while now. Just came back to see the new version of RFB. I have to say, you guys have really done a great job! It saddens me to see people complaining about this-and-that when they are getting something for free that has cost a lot in time and effort on the part of the modders. No one forced you guys to do what you do, but you do it anyway, and I think MOST of us a very grateful!

Well, as I said, it's been a while for me and SH4, so like the little newbie skipper that I am, I did something really stupid. I was on patrol around Paramushiro, and hadn't see anything in days. While in the south end of the channel, I picked up a sound contact that seemed to be entering the north end. I decided to surface and try to catch up to the merchant. THROUGH THE CHANNEL.

If you've been there, perhaps you know where I'm going with this... Apparently, there are shore batteries sitting there, waiting for a poor fool like myself. While below deck, I here a WHOOOSH.... SPLASH. "Oh crap." I jump up to the bridge just in time to see a muzzle flash off into the distance. At the same time as I order a crash-dive, a shell hits the engine room.

All rear compartments have breached pressure hulls and there's no way I could surface. One good hit bright her down. I LOVE THIS MOD!!!

EDIT: One quick question: I was only in about 60-70 feet of water. Is there any way, IRL, that the crew could have escaped alive? I play DiD and I could at least call it as ship sunk with some survivors, if so.
