Enemy Sub... LOLz (pic heavy)

gutted · 03-26-10, 07:24 AM

Patrolling south of Crete in "Mare Nostrum" Campaign....

Came across an enemy submarine on the surface mid-day. Fired a few deck gun shots, but only scored 1 hit before he submerged. I found his periscope and followed him for awhile on the surface... then i remembered i had external camera enabled. So i sumbered and started toying around with him.

Normally I dont have that option turned on, but luckily i had it this time because what followed was pretty funny.

Didn't start capturing screens till after about 5 hours of following him.
I kept hoping he'd surface but instead he just dove to almost 100m and ran like hell......

continued.....

Many hours later into the next night......

Haha, that, sir, was awesome.

And a little:

Awesome!

Bilge_Rat · 03-26-10, 07:32 AM

interesting.

But if you catch an enemy submarine on the surface, it will submerge?

In Sh4, you could only add them as surface targets.

Has anyone been torpedoed yet by an enemy submarine? would love to see screens of that, especially if you can see the wakes of the incoming torps.

This is like the sixth enemy sub i've killed so far
(Note: while it gives you credit in your event list.. it doesn't register in the kills for this patrol area to the right nor do you get any tonnage from it).

Normally one of 2 things happens.

1. I get enough shots into him before he submerges that he sinks.

2. He submerges before i can shoot... and will tool around at periscpe depth. If you race to his last known location you can usually spot his periscope and follow em around for abit. After like 5-10 minutes he'll surface again and i shoot em out of the water.

This time though, i got a shot on him before he submerged.. so i think thats why he never resurfaced. So i decided to dive down and follow em till he surfaced again. But he just kept going till he ran out of battery.

Pretty funny I havent even seen an enemy sub.

Shame the shots are so dark but I guess you cant help that.

Nordmann · 03-26-10, 08:35 AM

You forced him down to crush depth, bloody ingenious!

mookiemookie · 03-26-10, 08:38 AM

Awesome!

A fine moment indeed, well chased and a great result. Thanks for sharing.

Lucky for you he didn't have external views. One of these days you'll get yours back, you slimy sub-crusher you!

Noren · 03-26-10, 10:07 AM

Imagine the enemy chief trying to explain to the captain whats happening to the sub!

So the crushdepth was greater on your sub?

Amazing story!

Not true. You can easily add them as submerged in SH4 and SH3.
