Wooden Wonder?

Its july 1944 and I'm doing a runner from St naz in my VII/C42,on the surface cause I need speed and there's not alot of depth,I get attacked by 2 mozzie tetsies,the lads open up a can of M42 twin&quad whupass on them and they are eventually dealt with

I'm down to 91%hull integrity but so far so good

one of the planes hit the sea about 700meters in front of the boat at a hell of a speed in flames,Kaboom!!!!nothing to worry about you'd thought?:hmm: think again

I ran over the debris of this WOODEN plane which surely would have been turned into match wood and sustained damage!!!!!!!

hull integrity went down to 73%.Now that is taking the piss

It gets worse,shot a DD with a homer right on the bow,it didn't seem to phase him much,he just turned away and dropped just one knot,down to 12 then,as he steamed away I shot him in the stern with another homer,Bang he went yet his depth charge racks which are in flame refuse to go off,what a suprise

,he dropped to 9 knots and steamed on for another 3kms,oh and did I mention he did this without the aid of a PROPELLAR,for 3kms,obviously built by the same shipyard that makes the passenger/cargo's no doubt

Lol, I was steaming out of port the other night, first patrol of a new career. "detecting radar signals!" a wave of about 8 b-25's and put 3 bombs on my viic/42. I died pretty much instantly...shortest DiD career in history lol.

Now that is what I call unlucky!

Looks like i'll have to watch out for these new uber mozzie tetsies. Must be a new secret weapon we've not heard of.

They did that to me as well,but since I hadn't seen goerings boys since 1942,as soon as the radar spiked as we left the bunker I manned the flak positions otherwise I'd have gone the same way
