what is you most rediculess death in SH4?

[Warren Peace]

Ah, thought of another one. Not really 'ridiculous', necessarily, but it was extremely annoying at the time. After the Pearl Harbor fiasco, I decided to run my next cruise out of Manila, no sunken hulks for my idiotic crew to drive into. Got my shiny new S-class (okay, not shiny, or new...it was a rusted hulk) and started out of the harbor. As I was clearing land-mass and about to turn north to my assigned area, my WO calls out that he's sighted an aircraft. Cool, probably allied this close to Manila, let's take a look and see what it is.

Went up on deck to wait for a visual..looking around- Oh, look at that, a Catalina! Cool.... wait, Catalina's don't have 4 engines...oh hell. Bombs, dead, sunk.

I see what you mean.

like three days ago. Was heading to the Solomons from Pearl.......I was passing through the Marshalls. My plotting course passed through a portion of shallow waters, and somebody beleived that putting a steel protection barrier at the middle of that shallow pond was a good idea....

When I heard a metal crash, my sub was swinging by the middle of the hull.......... total loss.......

Pretty much ALL of the above.

Giving the order to go deep. Only to find out i am in shallow water. The boat gets damaged on a rock, flooding as a result without the possibility to fix it.

I use to run into islands all the time but now use a mod that makes land different color shallow water a different color really helps call fjb color navigation map

Had too many to mention, but one of my frustrating ones.. I was using my travs mod that allows you to sit on the bottom without damage, plus you can sink from the surface if flooded. Repair times can take many days.

I attacked the Center Force, sunk both Y's in the San Bern St. I took damage and would've sunk to the deeps if not in the shallows, about 300 ft. The DD's finally left. I tried numerous times to surface, but couldn't. I could make a few knots on the bottom, so slowly I crawled towards land. It took several hours until I got to where sub surfaced, basically beached. I had 3 100% flooded compartments that with travs mod could be repaired, but days. When daylight came a few planes bothered me, so I backed up in the deeps until sub was covered with water. I thought I was safe, but a plane finally saw me and bombed me causing more damage, plus called more in. I backed deeper, but one finally scored and sunk my sub.

Yeah, that would hurt, after all you went through.

By far the most ridiculous and thrilling experience in this post!
