Ever had a mission you couldn't do?

Well, for the record, I have Maltese heritage (immediate, last generation) and when I was playing I was cruising around the med when I got the message that the Santa Marija convoy was coming down. I was within fairly close vicinity so I ordered all ahead standard and was within range of Malta rather quickly.

I ordered Rig For Silent and waited...waited...waited until I started getting the convoys sound signatures. I immediatley ordered PD and upped scope, fixing my position and lining up a destroyer. I could nail that baby easy, it was a matter of hitting the button...but strangely I couldn't do it, I was unable to hit that button. Why? I don't know but something stopped me.

I downed scope and headed to back to Britain.

My question is, have any of you ever had that experience?

No, I've never hesitated to fire at a Canadian ship. Fact is that if I were gonna have a problem with any of this it would prevent me from playing the whole game. I mean we're out there killing people right?

Maybe if the boat had a giant Canadian flag painted on it.

Maybe. But then again that flag didn't exist back then. Oh well. I guess the Canucks are boned.

Being British by birth there'd be no point in me playing the sim

Being Scottish by heritage also tells me to want to burn every single ship with the white ensign on it.

Your British.

I had you down as a sexy French tart.

Time for me to check into hospital for psychiatric treatment.
