What makes you feel Stupid

HunterICX · 06-10-06, 06:20 AM

so wich moments are you like ''

''

1. Traveling in Fog submerged and suddently you ram an enemy boat.
2. Dropping an WaterBomb in your own toilet while leaving your SH3 512x Time and when you come back. your 300 meter deep and sinking further!
3. Or beeing to greedy and your 100 % focused on that C3 cargo while on ur back DD's are gaining on you.
4. Getting rammed by an Speedboat (a small fast moving bastard that hitted me on my tower and Sunk me!)
5. My famous Crash dive and didnt check the depth under urself.

So what are your moments ?

Ehm, number 3 mostly and number 1 occasionally...though sometimes we collide while on the surface.

I should learn when enough is enough. It's better to dive away, survive, and come back for another pass.

Kind regards,

After a few close encounters with the ocean floor, I now use an additional 3 seconds to check the depth before crash-diving... dunno if that's a good thing

Things that make me fell stupid is when i had a wonderfull lady whit me home after a fun night and i offer her to stay over and direct her to my dubble bed.
She accept the invite and polite as iam a fell to sleep at the sofa my self and left her alone in the big bed.

I gave my self a big slap in the forehead in the morning

Not to brag or anything, but I would never EVER do any of those things!

Oh...except maybe for mixing up my AOD with SHIII and hitting the Enter key to get out of time compression and noticing I just fired a torpedo!

LOL I have always had to hack Enter to TC0 for that very reason. A perfect example of change for no reason.

1. While escaping from DD's in shallow waters, I thought it would be a good idea to set the boat down on the ocean floor and wait (100m depth), in the next pass 6 DC's explode right next to the hull for an instant kill...

2. Fired 4 torps at a troop transport in new york harbor before realizing that there is a pier in between, they all hit it...

Trying to enter Portsmouth Harbour the channel is only 4m deep in the entrance surface and your dead stay below your dead what do you do?

Der Eisen-Wal · 06-10-06, 10:07 PM

travelling in dangerous waters at 512x at PD with periscope up.

securing from silent speed while DD's are gaining in enemy harbour just to finish reloading and shoot off again.

Done that before in U-123 before she went missing. I hit the bottom and she got damaged a bit. Turned out I had to use external cam (Yeah, I'm a cheater, so what

) and had to maneuver manually. Destroyed 2 medium tankers and a small tanker. Also got a VW beached. What did the crew think they were doing? I didn't expect the British would let their destroyer captains be that drunk on patrol.

I managed to escape eventually after avoiding 8 destroyers. It was disturbingly easy, all I had to do was submerge and go 1 knot. 1939, if you couldn't tell.

PS: I should probably update my sig soon with a new U-Boat. Proceeding to do so.

When i fired torpedos inside a convoy withouth check that another ship blocks the way to the torpedos at 100 meters (all duds)

crash dive from periscope depth in the english channel and not check the bottom depth, i was depth charged by a destroyer and one of the crew died (first patrol, no integrity of the hull enabled, a lot of pannic

)

stay firing with the deck gun at night at a coastal merchant in the english channel until i saw a search light, very close, and the shells falling , one hit near the gun but no casualties.

Put the incorrect AOB in manual TDC ,Port to starboard.

Travel to the nord to see icebergs Tc enabled, oh the phone, a call ... when i return to the computer ...the sub is in the ice cap

Similar - perfect shot on a C3, but forgot that I'd sunk a T3 between us. The torp ran directly into a bit of the wreckage sticking up out of the bottom. (The sunken bow was ~ 1m below the surface)

However, that ended being a GOOD thing. A Flower charged in at me and ripped it's hull out on the wreckage.
