What has hit me?

Schroeder · 07-15-09, 02:10 PM

If I had run aground I wouldn't have have dropped down 60m after that, right?

Task Force · 07-15-09, 02:17 PM

yes, but these can be at 60 m, but since the top is pointed, you only hit it and slid down off, in the end, it could have been anything... couldnt be a whale, cause you would have gotten a contact report... did what you hit make an explotion, or just a loud bang... and what were you doing beforeall this happend... had you loaded a save or anything...

this could have just been a random thing, that just happed, and you hit nothing.

I have my own theories:

It was clearly an encounter with the lesser spotted british godzilla

Task Force · 07-15-09, 02:45 PM

yep, It was Godzillia.:rotfl:

Hmm...
Theory No.1 is a no go since the SH3 sea bed is as flat as the surface in a shiny, 0wind day. The only thing changing its shape would be the uboat.

Theory No.2 is somewhat acceptable since you were in the middle of a minefield. Note that the mines have the bad habit to spawn out of the bottom rather than being dropped by surface ships.

My personal theory and the most reasonable i suppose is that the Catafark is somehow involved to this mystery. I dont know how or when but i just know it is that!

you could solve this issue by opening the main game files in the mission editor, finding the area you were in, if there is a mine field there you can check the depths of the mines with in it.

out away from the coast it's flat aye, but close in around scotland I've seen plenty of undulations in the sea floor and nearly ran aground myself.

I agree with Ford Prefect. It had to be Gozilla.

Are you sure about that? I mean I have heard this before but It does not seem correct because I have taken many of readings while sailing, cruising along and have had the "Depth under keel" fluctuate up and down many times.
In fact around BF 55 51 I have had "depth under keel" read in this order while heading West..80 120 80 in that order one reading after the other. Not the exact readings but you get my point. I would have thought in that area the reading would have went from a shallower reading to a deeper reading and stay deeper as you head west. But it was not the case. There are place were there seems to be a rise in the floor bottom.

huummm
