Anyone else ever feel guilty?

Col Frost · 01-11-08, 05:11 PM

The other day, when I sank the Rodney, I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt...Seeing such a majestic ship sent to the bottom, and all those sailors drowned; maybe it's because I'm English, not sure...but I couldn't help but feel a bit like I needed a drink or three to numb the pain of it all. Am I getting too immersed?
Anyone else ever feel that?

No, because it will re-spawn when you left the area. :rotfl:

Back from the deep you could say.

Col Frost · 01-11-08, 06:06 PM

I feel better already:p

Does that mean that you can sink the same ship more than once in a campaign?

Sailor Steve · 01-11-08, 06:27 PM

Yes it does. Just the other day someone reported seeing all three of the two Nelson class ships together in one task force.

That sucks, moral-wise lol

You mass murdering son of a bitch, not content to send it to the bottom once you want to send back down again, what are you a psychopath?

I sunk the Hood twice in the same patrol. I encountered it with a task force at 04:00 and sunk it, I ran into in again (alone this time) at 23:00 that same day ~100km away. I sunk it again but of course I didn't get credit the 2nd time. So far I've sunk Hood 3 times in that campaign.

I feel quite bad about the merchies' cew, having some lifeboats fleeing away form the sinking ship would be nice... it would help that tiny bit of humanity some of us have, anyways... I gues they deserve it for playing on the wrong team

Regarding DD's or BB's crews, after I read a couple of U-boats sinking reports, and how they would shoot with sidearms at anyone trying to get out of the sub, yeah, they pretty much deserve my merciless hunting.

You know.. this can cause problems for you when you get home.
"Yeah ! You know the Nelson ? Well three days ago, I sunk that sucker with one shot !!! You should have seen that thing go up like a fireworks display ! Blew the whole thing apart !! It was incredible ! I'm sure she'll make an EXCELLENT artificial reef for all those fish down there and all the tonnage she's worth ! Man ! I deserve a MEDAL for finding and sinking that ship !! Now how about giving me that renown ?"

"Oh really ? Then how come we have these reports and these pictures that were taken just an hour ago of "The Nelson" is sitting in port right now taking on supplies ?"

"Ummmm"

I seem to remember that the Germans sank the Ark Royal about seven times during the last war. I expect that every captain got the iron necklace each time.

Now get off your butt and find that ship & sink it.

Classic!!

I must have become completely numbed by playing computer games for more than two decades. When I sink a ship, it has never occured to me that there were people dying. Instead I enjoy with glee the Wagnerian epos that is going on in front of my eyes. Oh to follow the ship go down with the X-cam and imagine how it will get crushed by the pressure. Oh the sweet sound of the bulkheads breaking.

Blacklight · 01-12-08, 06:54 PM

Man.. I just had the chance to sink the Ark Royal, but then... as I was waiting for her, this BIG JUICY convoy popped out of nowhere and came into the PERFECT fireing position for me. I used up all my ammunition on that instead.
