Wow, I just torped a trawler

asurmen · 10-16-05, 06:24 PM

On my patrol today, I rounded the North tip of england and went down between ireland looking for convoys, well I got no luck, and kept getting forced to submerge by trawlers, after the 3rd trawler went by I got annoyed, he was at 400M, directly infront of me.

I fired a torp at him and wow.

I hear the yes! see the water, and the ship just shoots underwater and a second later comes back to the surface upside down.

Funniest thing Ive ever seen

I wish I had gotten a screen shot, the thing went right under and then came up going atleast 10knots forward and upside down

A waste of a good torp. I personaly go for the lay me along side and man the flack guns!!

My very first kill in SH was a nice hit on an armed trawler! Slightly off topic, my second kill was a C destroyer! HIGH waves, so I set the torp to as high as possible... A wave tossed the torp into the middle of the superstructure of the ship, leaving me in AWE of what a brilliant shot I was! :rotfl:

Aye, that incident with the trawler sounds like a very funny experience indeed! I guess you now know how important it is always to have eleven fingers ready for Ctrl+F11

It was a normal trawler, not an armed one, I was sick of them making me run around getting into attack positions :

I got a screen pic of a fishing boat hit by my torp in the mid-air inverted position... I'll post it tonight

After the hit, it went totally underwater, then popped out, flipped over, and then never saw it again.

It was so funny, I'm lucky I got the pic. :|\

Row row row your boat,
thru the heavy seas,
if you flip, you'll be fish s**t,
because your not a submarine!

Score from the juges

8.5, 9, 8.5, 9, 9.5
