luckiest shot ever...

[Blacklight]

I remember this one time that I got REALLY angry that this Flower class ship wouldn't leave me alone and I was running out of air and electricity. I surfaced and went full steam and attempted to have it out with the deck gun. As you can imagine, that didn't last long with shells coming down on my U-Boat like hailstones in a storm. The topside crew were killed but had got in a couple of shots on the ship which was now on fire, smoking, and mad as hell.
Another shell took out my diesels and then she turned toward me and rammed me full steam pretty much destroying everything else. To add insult to injury, the ship fired every deck gun it had at me while still pushing my now bent U-boat out of the way. The resulting explosion killed most of my crew, but to my astonishment, also blew up the ship !!! She went down in secconds. I was AMAZED how fast she zipped into the depths.
What little remaining of my crew were stunned and miraculously were able to resurect one of the diesels (It was only capable of a couple knots).

I wish I had pictures of the sub after that encounter. With the Torpedo Damage Final mod in there, my U-boat looked like a bent in half, crumpled, piece of tin foil ! It literally was NOT recognizable as a Uboat. I was actually able to limp that thing back into Loriet !
According to my SHIII Commander personal file, the Uboat came back with 98% of it's hull damaged. If my crew had so much as breathed on a wall plate, that thing would have fallen into a million pieces ! Thank the maker for Duct Tape !!
