R.I.P Uboat 193 "Good Friday" and to her crew, 1939-1944
Destroyed by aircraft

But also it had a cool deck gun

I salute you brave sailors

Let me guess, you lost you're voice and couldn't yell ALARM! anymore?

VONHARRIS · 09-17-10, 05:37 AM

Now you don't have to worry about depth charges , aircrafts or those DDs who all have one solid purpose: SINK ALL KALEUNS!.
A long career , well done.
Where did this unfortunate event happen?

JokerOfFate · 09-17-10, 10:00 AM

Gibraltar, trying to find some good late war convoys, but I guess it's over for my fav boat now.

CherryHarbey · 09-17-10, 10:39 AM

ouchy. Did you go down flak gun blazing?

K-61 · 09-17-10, 01:06 PM

Hmmm. I can't see much from those little pics. When I click on them it takes me to Image Shack where I see them as little pics and the zoom function doesn't make them any bigger. Did you load them that way or am I missing something? I'd like to be able to see them larger, if possible.

"Did you go down flak gun blazing?"
Like any good captain, I manned the flak taking three down but one crashed into the ship.

You mean like any good gamer. A good captain keeps the welfare of his crew first and formost. The first thing a good captain does at the sight of any enemy with guns is to dive.

Interesting career. GWX 3.0 100% realism, too, I bet. You must have been up to around 45-55 patrols by then. What a shame to blow it by taking on airplanes.

Well, what the heck. You took out 3 pilots from a boat ill-suited to shooting down airplanes. I am sure the families of your 51 crewmen will take solace in that.

JokerOfFate · 09-17-10, 04:55 PM

Was loading the external, so for immersion I didn't dive.

No, GWX 84% and was on 20th patrol

desirableroasted · 09-17-10, 05:20 PM

For immersion.

Think about those two words the next time you tell us about that BB you sank with deck guns.

ediko · 09-17-10, 05:33 PM

Ah common give him a break. All he did was prove that it's possible to sink BB's with a deck gun in SH3. Doesn't mean he exploits the game all the time. Hell I'm sure there are members here that load some cheats to go 80 knots underwater and have infinite torpedoes just for fun when you want a break from all this simulation. Doesn't mean you always play like that.

Besides even if you play like this who cares? It's about having fun anyway isn't it ?

Draka · 09-17-10, 05:44 PM

Just for a second - look at the name of these Forums. SubSim - means Submarine SIMULATION - not game. Yes, some people play that way - but they shouldn't hang out here and post of gamey stuff - that is reserved for Facebook, and similar places. This is for the more serious types - not that we don't all have our loony moments!

So, yeah, as long as he is going to fly in the face of any serious simulator and tell of taking off armored, turreted secondary batteries, much less the main guns - ESPECIALLY with a Flak gun!!! - he is gonna catch a lot of grief here.

Sorry, just the way it is. Me - look up the definition of "grognard".

Ok, just going to correct a few things there, I never said that I took them off (well I did but I was tired) mearly disabled and not with a flak gun I took the small macine guns out with that, but other than that the topic was dropped, besides this still is a game that is meant to be fun to play.

ediko has a great point there, as a last note this "Debate" is not helping
the forum in any way and it's a maybe due to "Virtual v Real life" limitations.
