Weird SH3

I think I am correct in saying that pretty much every player of SH3 has had, or seen a weird thing. Campaign or otherwise. Share your most memorable weird nuts here.

The one I remember the most was during an attempt at the U-505 mission. I wasn't even close to the Escort Carrier yet, but rather, getting chased by those annoying Destroyer Escorts. One DE hedgehogged me, but I was lucky. I went by another one that started to give chase, but promptly stopped.I shut down the motors an watched. All the other DE's surrounded the stopped one. I noticed that it was rocking wildly, mainly to starboard. Eventually, it capsized, but remained floating. A DE sank, by itself, for no apparent reason. Weird huh?

I hit a small convoy wsw of Freetown. Sent a troop ship and modern tanker to the bottom. The lone escort, a Fletcher class, tried to pound me with sonar and wasserbombs for a time, while the remaining large merchant and medium cargo zigged and zagged along their course.

After the requisite 30 minutes, the escort sailed to rejoin his mates. His mates, however, had started making 180 degree zig-zags, essentially holding position waiting for him.

Ok, we're near the continental shelf. I was expecting the convoy to despawn anyway.

When the Fletcher caught up with them, they started sailing in a tight circle!

If it had been night, I may have tried to sneak in and get a close-up shot off, but it was 1330, clear skies, 15m/s wind and the Fletcher had radar.

Don't know if this is weird, but my start day is March 21, 1940 and the real date is March 21, 2012. Or this is a bug or it's 101% realism

the first date (March 1940) is the day of the mission. the second is of course the real time day you played it on. That example is just a pure coincedence
