first battleship

U-84 · 11-07-08, 09:21 PM

It's october 1939, in a VIIB, and I somehow managed to sneak into Scapa Flow to my surprise

and for the first time in my year of playing SH3, i finally came across a battleship, revenge class in career mode...That thing was a beast, ate atleast 7 torps before finally scuttling to hte bottom...right now im tryin to evade the pursueing destroyers which seems to be countless of them...

will tell later about the rest of the story, if i haven't sunk to hte bottom yet. wish me luck, lol.

Hi there U-84

Good job ,to come so close to Scapaflow

I tryed it once , but I never had a chance

This destroyers get me

I think I never want to do that anymore

But a while ago I was in the Med and meet this one

dang some nice shots there starlion. Kudos to ya, for finding one in the med, that'll probably never happen for me. I apoligize, i should have taken some screenshots of it, but was too damn excited, but also too focused on trying to evade the destroyers, which i managed too do, but with a heavily damaged tower (u could call it destroyed lol), and deck gun (which is still functional lol) and just managed to escape out of scapa, now with a reported convoy in my grid...lucky me

hi again

I know what you mean being exited

Earlier tonight I run into a convoy in grid "BE39"
(BTW it is a very,very,very good area to run into large ships
such as "whalefactory" ships,"medium tankers", "fast freighters",
"large merchants" etc) back to that convoy:p I was in that area-
and those ships in the convoy heading right toward to me , and in that convoy there was a "Revenge" Battleship , so my only options was to fire the stern torps
and she was 900meters behind me , and down she goes

and in that exitment I forgot to take screenshots

31000ton so i know how you feel

but remember this,it will be more chances:p :p

Here is a picture of a "Support ship" that is been sunk in Narvik :

I've done the sneak-into-scapa-flow thing once ... There were only small merchants and i was real pissed off. And I got shot at on the way out. Kinda felt like that das boot scene when they rush into gunfire
