Worst death in game.

Fr8monkey · 03-10-09, 08:22 PM

I've heard it said that dying in a depth charge attack is the worst way to die.. I agree. But in the game, what is the crappiest way your ship went down?

I was setting up an attack run on a convoy off of Rockal submerged. Weather was windy and foggy. I popped up the scope and did a 360 look around and found nothing. I surfaced and was hit by a destroyer commingt up from the rear. Didn't have time to crach dive. He fired 2 rounds... first tookout the conning tower and crew and the second destroyed the aft torp room. I was then rammed and went to the bottom.

I was in a heavy fog moving slow. I had a sonar contact and knew I was coming up on a convoy and I was trying to feel my way into it. Then, without warning, a DD came steaming out of the fog and rammed me. Flooding. Panic. Screams. Damage control parties drowning in shattered compartments and then for laughs the DD decided to lay a pattern of depth charges.

It was a really messy death.

A Foggy day near the east coast of England. I was running with high time compression on. All of a sudden I get the message "ship spotted, sir." The moment I get to the bridge I see one of those armed trawlers 150m away. One second later, before I could even think about crash diving, the first shell hit me.

Being sunk on the surface by an armed trawler early in the war was somehow embarrassing.
