With incidents like this, its a wonder they won the war-

I was attacking a convoy right off the coast of England. I set my attack right in the middle of the convoy. As I was trying to reload for another attack, while hiding under/near merchants, several destroyers and tons of aircraft were depthcharging the heck out of the place.

At one point, two planes managed to hit each other head on while dive bombing toward each other, and the wreckage from one cartwheeled into a Destroyer and set it on fire!

Why should I bother taking out British DDs when the RAF is doing it for me? :rotfl:

Too bad you didn't have the Benny Hill music playing on your Grammophone. That would have made that scene complete. :rotfl:

Unfortunately no. Of course, nobody expects stuff like that to happen. Too bad, would have made a great video! this makes me wonder about ship collisions- so far the computer is pretty good at keeping its ships from crashing into each other, but I wonder how long...

I have seen plenty of ships run into each other but they were either friendly or netural. But there was this one time in Freetown (African west coast) when a DD tring to get to me crashed at flank speed into the dock breaking the ship in half but the bow of the ship did manage to get into the water on the other side of the dock. That was interesting to say the least.

I thought that the game wouldn't give me renown for it but I got renown for it. (And lost 20% of my HI)
