Horible Deaths.

ERPP8 · 01-06-10, 09:37 PM

My two most horrible deaths in SHIV were in a typhoon class sub and a glitch wouldn't let fresh air be let in even if I was surfaced and we all died of Carbon dioxide poisoning. The other debatable more horrible death was I was patrolling of the coast of Luzon in a Gato class sub and i saw 5 ships( 3 gunboats and 2 battleships). I fired 3 MK-48 torpedo 2 ships sank. One of the remaining dropped depth charges and caused flooding. I began to unwillingly dive to over 500 feet. I responded to telling the crew to surface, no response then I commanded to blow the ballast and I surfaced

. The ships were 2000 yards behind

. So I dived again. I went to about 500 feet when I knew I had to surface, blow ballast. I had critical flooding so I never surfaced.
Please post your stories of gruesome deaths with pictures if you have them.

The death by asphyxiation is avoidable. Usually if you alt tab out of the game while submerged it causes the buildup of CO2 even when you surface. T fix it just save your game and reload.

House 6 coming in and turning off the computer during the stalk of a 8 ship convoy....

Something about being "on that damn thing all day"

Then banished to picking up dog turds in the back yard with no beer.

And after scooping up with a pooper scooper, you return to duty and find out that in your absence dds from TMO 1.9 have attacked and destroyed your hard drive. Then you begin the real life ETERNAL PATROL, which is where I am currently.

How do you know you were mined? I once was patrolling with no enemy ships around and all of the sudden we plunged like a rock and died. I am now thinking that perhaps we hit a mine as well.

You cannot get mined unless you're at periscope depth, I believe. In your case someone simply forgot to put the stopper back in the shower drain.

Bubblehead1980 · 01-07-10, 02:57 PM

mines are set to different depths, some at periscope depth, some as deep as 300 feet.In stock you are highly unlikely to ever hit one.In mods like TMO, RFB, RSRD, in certain areas they are a very real threat.

Something I plan to fix is where mines are a threat on surface in certain areas, like Tokyo Bay area, the straits, inner islands in philippines etc.
