Okay, only you all could share my happiness

HuskerNlincoln · 02-05-09, 04:08 PM

I have been playing SHIII off and on for about 4 years, love all the mods.

However I have NEVER in those Years had my boat in a position to see and attack a Battleship.at sea........................Until today!

Sure I have raided a few ports and sunk a few hoods, essex's but never in a career in the open sea.

Its Sept '40, and while at sea I have been instructed to move from Wilhelmshaven to Lorient, So I thought I'd try to get a few kills while I relocated.

I shot down the Channel hugging the French coast, then thought I should see what the Western Approaches have to offer before I head for our new French home, The weather was lousy for days, and I am just west of the Rockwall bank when I get a message about a large convoy...and I was in perfect position,

I closed in on it, and dead center of the formation is the WARSPITE! I actually closed within 2,500 meters and fired.....

First one hit her, but nothing, I'm still closing and fire again....

This one hits her just aft of center and KABOOM, secondary explosions everywhere, two eels, no more battlewagon.

Also I have hit 2 Whale Factory ships,

Not pushing my luck, time to hide now.

I just HAD TO SHARE, I know its boring for you, but exciting for me!

Good show! I someday hope to run across a Battleship, preferably unprotected and in position to come across my path.

.. with no guns on board, with the crew asleep and captain drunk

That would be a nice bonus

Although without the guns the tonnage would probably be cut in half... Perhaps one or two guns still onboard...

It's always a great feeling to put a battlewagon down. Congratulations, Herr Kaleun!
