GWX, Depth charges

Col_Klink · 12-20-06, 05:17 AM

I was getting pounded by 2 destoyers in around 100 meters of water. I was at 90 and the charges blew me into the bottom. I stopped engines and let the boat just set on the bottom. Had hull integrity visible and it was at 98%. So the second destroyer drops charges way off to port and they detonated way shallow I think but next thing I know the hull was crushed due to pressure and I was a dead. This GWX is good stuff. So I guess if your on the bottom the pressure of the charges is increased since the boat can not move down due to the expolsions?

Well sure it does. If your pressure hull has lost some structual integrity then it's capability to keep the crushing water out is compromised. Very likely that another depth charge can finish you off. Whatever the case....it ain't good

. Also, DC do not need a direct hit, I believe within in 20m of the boat was enough to sink it.

Poor planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on mine, and the checks in the mail.
