Famous Last words?

[Packerton]

Heh share your storys of overconfidense or mistakes in this thread.


I was in the Med (GWX 1.3) yeah Suicide I know but I love a challenge.

100% Realism I got a bunch of Random warship contacts on sonar not far away (no task force report) The whether was extremely poor and I surfaced to get some air before I checked out the contacts.

well I came into range and Could tell in the fog that it was a Nelson Class BB with only 2 DD escorts.

"Theirs no way he can see me from here in all this fog"

Then I saw Cannon Discharges from it.

WOOOSSHHHH!!! Game over lol.

[KeptinCranky]

Heh! Getting your boat blown up by a Battleship, that's damn difficult, what with escorts getting there first

well done

mine:

Attacking the lone armed trawler outside Casablanca with my deckgun, from 2000 meters in the dark and not turning my boat directly towards it AND only going 6 knots with an untrained crew.

First hit blew my rudder off, my gun wasn't even loaded yet. second hit blew up the Zentrale, and all the officers there. third hit sunk my boat and killed me to add insult to injury, this was june 1940, France still hostile and my type IX boat is parked in 12 meters of water for easy recovery by the Allies to salvage enigma machine and other goodies

and all because I didn't want to waste an eel on it

Pretty new to SH3 I entered a harbor in the med with 100% in 1940.
It must be not to difficult this early in the war, let's do it I said.
I was soon spotted and six DD's came at me!

Last words: "alhoewel..." ("on the other hand...")

Hit the bottom almost before finishing "Allaarm" :rotfl:

[jumpy]

a la star wars empire strikes back:

Watch officer: "Sir, enemy ships entering our sector!"
Captain (me): "Good. Our first catch of the day!"

Followed by the DD destroyer equivalent of the ion cannon barrage, saw me safely reduced to a pile of rapidly sinking junk inside of about 5 minutes.

my famous last word
"schei...." i was gonna say "scheisse"
and now the story behind the famous last word:rotfl:
i was sailing a VIIC/41 (Uflak) out of bergen in 1945 when i suddently got 6 radar contacts i then waited for the contacts to get close and bam there was 4 rocket equipped fighters and 2 big bombers
they arrived at my boat the same time
got hit directly with all of the bombs from the first bomber and almost all of the rockets with the fighters *DEAD*
worst part is i was standing on the bridge and i saw them hit
3 of the rockets even hit where i was standing:rotfl:

It's early in the war (1940 I think, this was a-ways back) and I spot a convoy. Not too large, just plump and juicy. The periscope tells me two escorts are in front and to the side and just creeping ahead, no maneuvering. So, I think I'll try something new. Mind you this is before GWX (i.e. deck guns do a lot of damage).

One fish each (97% realism), kablam, kaboom, soon they are both burning and headed for Davy Jones' locker. "Ok" I think, "there is bound to be at least one more". Sure enough. Merchants start wiggling and a small frigate is making its way straight to me. Straight. Bearing 0... yummy. With nothing to lose, I fire a magnetic torpedo which hits and down she goes too. I wait a little and think my last words "that's all of them, no one else approaching".

Fire torpedoes at the juiciest targets, surface and start gunning away at the... defenseless convoy.

Cracking and blasting sounds, screams, blood everywhere... now I know better. There is always "one more" escort

1. I knew I should have backed up my career files to another location! (after losing a patrol with 160,000 tons!)

2. I was just too greedy!

3. He can't find me at 100 meters!

4. Hurry up and fix that frakkin' leak!

5. What do you mean the forward batteries are destroyed!

6. Where are my patrol planes, Goering!??

7. Am I ever gonna get out of 1939?

8. I've been in this chair way too long.

I've said this so many times:

"I'll just pop the scope up to see how close we are to the target"

I got the worse of it more, same thing happen to me but 12 roket equid fighters attack and overkill me, and I was being roasted watching the rocket hit my face.
