Another Bigfoot sighting! Eeek!

Somehow seeing the Flying Dutchman in the bright light of day just ain't right. It should be at night in a spooky storm with seawolves howling. :p

I'll tangle with an entire convoy of Asashios before I mess with that!

We thought about it, but it couldn't be done because of the dynamic nature of the campaign.

That's cool. Dynamic campaign is much more important.

I seem to remember people posting that SH2 had a 'Love Boat' type cruise ship that you could run into from time to time.

I never would have seen it but sonar reported it as a warship. I listened but couldn't hear anything but they insisted something was there so I went up for a look.

Horrors!!!

DeepSix · 11-18-07, 02:22 PM

If I may ask, what area were you in?

Peto · 11-18-07, 02:57 PM

Yes you may ask

!

I was just off the North East of Luzon--less than 30 nm in fact.

DeepSix · 11-18-07, 03:24 PM

Arr, thankee - always good to know when and where you might encounter the Dutchman.

Elder-Pirate · 11-18-07, 05:19 PM

I seem to remember a post on ( with pics I think? ) subsim about "The Flying Dutchman" shooting her cannons at the enemy. Anyone confirm that?

Anyway a very cool "Easter Egg" Devs.

I have seen it in the Celebes Sea right in the middle of a clear moonless night, pretty spooky!

Sniper31 · 11-18-07, 10:46 PM

And, Crash Dive, you're still alive to talk about it!

I just saw the Flying Dutchman for the first time this past weekend. It was in the Luzon Strait in August '44. I had just finished sinking a bunch of Japanese shipping and the patrol aircraft were out looking for me. As I was watching the Dutchman through my 'scope, I observed a Betty make a bombing run on her

The bombs fell long, so I can't say what would have happened if they had fallen accurately
