wth...someone has attacked my convoy !

nirwana · 08-23-08, 03:55 AM

After nearly 2 days of looking for the reported large convoy i finally got a visual contact with one of the trailing escorts.

To my surprise it was furiously handling its searchlight and open fire with its guns. Zooming in i see its fighting an ai-sub obviously landed some hits on the convoy earlier trying to outmaneuver the flowerpot with scope up at periscopedepth.

:hmm: Til now i was convinced that the game engines is not able to emulate a successful sub attack like a user on a convoy with a following duel with an escort though i saw sometimes a burning DD entering a harbor for repairs.

Anyway im really pissed that it will be now more difficult for me to engage the convoy. Everyone now is on battlestation zigzagging like chicken detecting a wolf.....

Looks like it was a deckgun attack inspite of 12m waves... the captain must be nuts

Now its getting really weird.... those are

two convoys running over the ai-sub at the same time. 1st is going E the 2nd SW each one with 34 merchants, 1 dido, couple of tankers and lots of escorts and i have already used most of my eals in previous engagements

The AI sub/wolfpack attempts do add a great deal to the game IMO.

agreed. it is one of the better additions to the sim. its nice to feel like there are other boats out there doing their part, and its not all you

Well i got my share sinking 4 large cargos, 1 large tanker, 1 small tanker, 1 small cargo, damaged the dido cause the escorts were busy circling the floating damaged tankers 10km away damaged by the ai-sub earlier still looking for it. Then they rushed to the ships i hit , i outflank them and took care of the tankers they were circling before and escaped flank surfaced.

It was crazy i could run

flank between 2 rows of merchants about 700m apart to get ahead of the convoy to attempt another run without detection. The result is as i planned receiving the convoy report in the beginning but how much afford it took and how much coffee/smokes it required was horrifying. A half dozend time i thought "thats it .... they got me" .

path of destruction (there are more pictograms of successfully sinkings by me but some are somehow bugged. They were taken out by the other sub)

I use olc's uebermod and high resolution maybe thats why the pics are so dark....
