Why Did I Sink?

thrasher · 04-04-08, 07:52 AM

This is the second time this has happened to me in this patrol. I was patrolling AN-47 stormy weather, i'm at 20m ahead slow in 65m of water. I just did a hydro check, nothing, hit tc to 128 next thing I know we are taking damage. I go to free camera and don't see or hear a thing. We sink and game over. At the abandon career screen there is not a scratch on the hull. Anyone have any ideas of what the problem may be? I'm playing GWX with Commander 3.

Thanks for your help in advance

Mine perhaps ?

I don't have the foggiest TBH.

Would love to know, though, because this _EXACT_ same thing - and I mean it, the same thing down to a tee (in AN47, submerged @ 20ms, weather cr*p, etc.) - happened to me as well a month back or so. Yah, ain't nothing moving there but us chickens, and then - KABOOM!!!

A GWX / game bug perhaps?

PS / EDIT: Ah, but of course. What Wooly said!

Could have been a torpedo from an enemy submarine perhaps

There was enough water inside your uboat to make the bouyance go negative.

Maybe your sub's WC pipe was broken...

I'd be pointing a finger at Bernard

@VonDos

You wouldnt mind scaling down that sig of yours? :p I think the max dimensions are 400x150.

I think I would be inclined to agree with BBW

MINES!!!!

Thanks for all the answers. IMHO it seems a little to deep of water to be a mine, and if it was wouldn't i have seen damage to my boat?
