Very odd situation!

[Borgneface]

Hello,

I am facing a very bizarre situation Just started a campaign in GWX3,
date,09.09.1938, Uboat type VIIB, 7th Flotilla based in Königsberg.

I am asked to patrol grid AO98 and sink target ships 4 of them all BRitish and not moving, plus a 2 ships convoy sailing slowly, also British...
Well I did that without any problem and after having patrol my zone for the requested 24 jhours, I sail back to base without taking special precaution, after this is a training and I do not expect any attack on my sub...but passing not far from Pillau and also closing to base I am suddenly under attack....I see no enemy but only hear artillery shelles flying by and hitting the sub...sdo I am forced to dive and sail toward base undersea !!

Is this a normal situation?? never happened to me before!!

Thanks for any tips or info....

Its very strange situation in did...i use to start at Kiel or Wilhelmshaven to start my carears with the VII B Type, so never happen to me...but some one it will explain it!

They put Bernard on your boat before you sailed hoping he would be lost at sea. At the thought of him coming back again the German long range guns have been trained on you!

[Borgneface]

OMG! I thought Bernard was already lost at sea.....
I must know do a complete search in the sub...and disembark him on the nearest beach
Thanks for the info...LOL

Ok;

I finally finished the patrol....Sailed as long as possible at Periscope depth until close (15km) from Königsberg. Then surface and docked ...We could not find Bernard, so I suppose he must have fallen asleep some where....

Very strange indeed
No hyrophone contacts after diving?
Which grid did this happen in? (or can you give us a screen shot of the map?)
What was the weather like? What EXACTLY did you see?

Hi,

This happened at the limit of Grid A098 not far after Pillau while sailing East totowards Königsberg.
The oly thing I saw was a NAval artillery Blockhaus on the shore and some German cargo and fishing trawler...no Hydrophone sound what so ever.

But Now I will always be very carefull

Bernard disguises himself as a farting banana.

You say the year is 1938. Is this correct? If so, you're a little early.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

In SH3, if you attack a neutral ship of any nationality, you will become the enemy of that country for 24 hours.

So, if you fire on a British ship prior to September 3rd 1939... they will fire back at you.

Brogneface, I am assuming "1938" was a typing mistake?

hehe, renegade uboat before the war broke out, he'd be shelled by both sides!
