Default Theoretical Situations Which Could Happen

Having my little brain overtime, I have had a few thoughts cross about what could happen in SHIII. For example:

I have had my conning tower destroyed by ramming ships. Now, it would seem that the Kaluen (you) can go up into the conning tower and no other crewmen. Is it possible to get yourself killed and no one else on your crew via C.T. destruction?

Ever had your sub crushed by a sinking ship?

That's all I can think of, right now.

I've read about a few occasions where sinking ships 'fell' upon a sub but it never happened to me.

Default sinking ship

I ran into one once in a storm and suffered some hull damage.

Well yesterday I managed to sink two British destroyers in the XXI Single Mission when they crashed into me!

I haven't been crushed under a sinking ship, but I have accidentally rammed a ship that had settled to the bottom. Was avoiding a DD, weaving around, and didn't realize where I was. Ironic, I guess

I was in Loch going after the Nelson when a DD ran me over. It was so shallow I hit bottom and it lifted the DD up. I thought I was done for until I read "she's going down". The DD was destroyed and sank right in front of me. I only took 12% hull damage.

I would like to see if I can get a Kaluen killed in the conning tower like I described.

I've had Kaluen killed in the CT. It was from deck gun fire from a destoryer. I morned for my watch officer, as he had been with me from the start.

I have had men killed, but I've only ever has one wounded! He survived, and he then refused a medal which I had got for him. I promoted him for couage under fire
