LOL, a wtf moment.

gutted · 04-06-10, 07:33 PM

It was rough seas, and I snuck inside a convoy. I pooped up to periscope depth and fired my first load of torpedoes.. good hits. I then turned in towards the rest of the convoy.. then ran down the ladder to tell the Bosun to activate his Riposte skill so the crew will reload faster.

Being in a hurry... instead of running back, i figured i'd be slick and hit the Shift+U command to teleport me back to the control room.

But...

At the exact instant i tapped that key, i must have breached the surface of the rough seas slightly, because it instead teleported me to the bridge. LOL WTF.

So there i am at periscope depth on the OUTISIDE of the boat trying to get back into the hatch but it wont open. The water keeps sloshing over my head with each minor "breach" of the surface. The escorts are now onto me. Im furiously trying to get into the hatch while ordering crash dive... neither of which worked. Hatch wont open because im not high enough out of the water.... yet crash dive wont work because im on the bridge. LOL.

So i just startred running around the deck while under water, trying to figure out what to do. For a second i thought about surfacing to get me up high enough to get the hatch to work.. but it was too late. I can hear the approaching escorts engines.

There it is.... A bow rapidly approaching me. Noooo! A few seconds later i do a faceplant on the front of his ship. Crew is yelling about all sorts of damage and then i get the death cam.

Game over.

Wish i got pictures, but i didn't have time to think about that... i was fighting the hatch.

Bilge_Rat · 04-06-10, 08:03 PM

what??? and no screenies???

the moral of the story, never use the Shift+U key..

p.s. I am sure the beta testers never saw that one.

I think thats how Joachim Schepke bought it!

I just watched the Warspite sail 3km after getting hit by 2 torpedoes. "That's not that weird" you say? Well, the thing is it was sailing on the land:

SabreHawk · 04-06-10, 09:08 PM

Oh now this has to be the funniest thing I've read yet, would love to have seen it. No screenies eh? A shame, would have been classic stuff.

But I can of course imagine the scene, and just thinking about it makes me laugh. But lesson well learned about that command, never use it unless you have to, and for it's intended purpose.
But It looks like you truly did get stuck, and that command who's purpose was the get you unstuck actually got you stuck, and "Un- unstuckable" to boot.(Pun intended)
But thats what one gets for using a tool for what it's not intended for, it punished ya, but good.

subsimlee · 04-06-10, 09:30 PM

What a Hoot ! The bow faceplant ( with eyes as big as saucers no doubt ) was hilarious !!!!!!

gutted · 04-06-10, 09:50 PM

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But, if you want to see what it was like. I can sorta do it on command now. Next time you climb down the hatch and order periscope depth.. get off the ladder and immediately hit Shift+U to teleport. Since the sub is not under yet, it will teleport you back to the bridge, but the sub is still going under.

Now you can walk around the deck at periscope depth. You'll have to surface though to get back in.

Might be a cool trick for a movie maker.

ddrgn · 04-06-10, 10:21 PM

Strange, this happens to me as well if i hit shift u going down the hatch, but once submerged I hit shift u again and brings me back to the command room.

how realistic. What a sim.

I don't have Bernard on my Boat. I have Hans... and I kick the crap out of him whenever he does something stupid.

As you said, I cant decide whether to smile or cry?

We want a movie with this phenomena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
