U-27

VonApist · 02-26-14, 08:04 AM

U-27 engaged a Task Force in the shallow waters of AN13.
A Renown class lured the usually cool headed Kaleun to action despite heavy destroyer presence.

Two eels crippled the Renown class which went down. 48k tons.

However 3 destroyers pinned us down. Shallow waters made escape tough. U-Boat is damaged, lying on the ocean floor. Diesel leakage, frantic repairs inside.

Doesnt look good. 6 crewman dead. My LI injured, this could be the last message of U-27.

Its been an honour , gentlemen.

It does look bad-however how much battery and air remain?
Are you using the seabed repair mod?
You just might get out of this mess if you are lucky-let us know.

Love the screen shots!

U-27 was lost with all hands in Grid AN 13...

Depth charges took out the diesel engines and emptied my diesel tanks.
8 crewmen dead.
Pumping water sitting on the ocean silt 100m below surface.
Until a charge exploded like a yard away and then pressure just killed us all.

It was a good bunch but they paid the complacency of their Kaleun.
Honorable death, but still, death.

Dead is dead so new carreer.
2nd Flotilla, September 1939 with a VIIB this time.
And this time lets try to finish the war in one piece....

In this situation, your only hope is to blow ballast and come to periscope depth and hope you don't broach and hope you can torpedo the escorts.

In SH3 bottoming will not hide you from sonar.

And, stay out of shallow water!

Congrats on taking down the BB though.

Type II Boat = 5 torps. There goes ur sink the escorts theory.
It was a bad decision to attack but target was soooo appealing.

Seabed repair mod-never leave home without it!
Works just fine with GWX gold.

Now we need a mod so that sitting on the bottom reduces detection!

Yeah that would be AWESOME and not historically inaccurate

Now I could be wrong, but I'm reasonably sure that the add-on patch by Stiebler for the Realism and Game-play Related Hardcode Fixes by h.Sie does reduce ASDIC sensitivity in shallow waters. I haven't tried the Stiebler add-on myself because it's a little bit complicated and I need to get my head wrapped around it before adding it without messing things up.

My next campaign I am going to try the hardcode fix mod.
