Bernard got me run over!

Tango589 · 01-05-08, 11:25 AM

Prowling around by Rekjavik habour and feeling quite pleased with having sunk a Type S sub and a class C&D ship, when my sonarman who I can only assume is Bernard who snuck aboard, shouts out 'Ship, bearing 087, closing, short range' or words to that effect. I stick the periscope up for a quick look and all I can see is this ship bearing down on me! I only have time to drop the 'scope when the ship plows into me and rips the scope clean off! Still, I manage to wander away fairly undamaged, but the ship rapidly sinks. I wish Bernard would give me more warning of these things.

Never put Bernard in charge of ANY important position on your U-boat. Your best bet is, if he gets aboard, to stick him in the nearest available torpedo tube and fire him at the enemy

Ya gotta love Bernard ... :rotfl:

i swear bernard was my IXC's watch officer. im on partol by panama, and suddenly i hear "were under attack sir!" so i come up to the bridge and see a U.S destroyer (this is in plain daylight ming you) comming right at me from my six i order a sharp turn and a crash dive, but too late i set rammed and sunk

thanks for the warning Bernard...

We should start a petition to get Bernard removed from every water borne vessel up to and including pedalos.

It won't work. Get rid of Bernard, and three more just like him show up.

Call him Sad Sack; call him Beetle Bailey; call him Dinsdale or Parker or even $#!+head...he will always be with us, and you might as well get used to the idea that there is nothing you will ever be able to do about it.

I swear. Bernard must be one hell of a favorite of the higher ups. It's amazing how one man gets assigned to EVERY SINGLE ONE of our Uboats whenever we go out ! It's almost like BDU won't send a Uboat out without him on board !
