Even worse are the Chief Engineer's repeating reports whenever you take damage to certain parts:
10:21: CE: Rudder port damaged!
10:21: CE: Rudder port damaged!
10:21: CE: Rudder port damaged!
10:21: CE: Rudder port damaged!

10:22: WO: Airplane sighted!

Guns are cool, but sometimes you just have to use a knife. Silent running and all that.

An explanation:

I was shadowing a passenger/cargo in very heavy seas. Everytime a huge wave went over the bridge the watch spotted the ship again. I wanted to get ahead of her to set an an attack but could only TC to 8x.

TC to 8x...
Wave over the bridge
Drop to 1x
"Schiff gesichtet!"

Rinse and repeat.

I wanted to attack at dawn but as soon as I got ahead enough to turn in and close the range I said enough is enough and used map tools to get AotB and fired blind into the black night. Three eels went out. Two went BOOM!

Passenger/Cargo went down.

Schiff that in your gesichtet, Bernard!

@Steve: Will definitely check out the mod. Thanks!

You could also plot your victims course for a few minutes then use the 'end around' method and await their arrival.

LiveGoat · 09-09-10, 06:39 PM

Ah... should've thought of that but I was running late for work and just took a chance. This morning I started a new patrol out of Kiel and plotted an outbound canal plus a course to the English coast and just let the bugger run while I took off to work.

Currently I'm passing the Frisian Isles. My roomates think I'm nuts. Hmm...

You're not nuts, they are! If they can't get the game, that's their problem.
