dumbist ways you have died?

Sounds like a high TC issue more than anything. I make a point to never issue any orders while in TC > 8, and then only in an outside view. If I'm running > 2048 TC, I have to hit the normal speed key at just the right moment tO get it to accept the command, so there is some lag at those speeds. AlsO occurs at tcs> 64 while near a port.

Just make a point of returning to 1 TC before doing anything.

The best is no TC at all,

Plotted the Kiel Canal outbound course, but forgot to give the order to follow that course. Sailed straight from the dock -- into the nearest battleship! D'OH!

This is what I thought the thread intended.

Did a crash dive straight into the ocean floor.

My crew does not know how to plug a leak...she just filled with water.

EDIT: Well I didn't order the crash dive, Bernard did it while everyone else was at their battlestations.

No need for concurrent duplicate threads, but since it's actually a gameplay issue, we'll let it slide.

I always plot the Kiel Canal manually,

It was not the dumb way I've got sunk, but dumb place, where I was caught by suprise.

Serving in Med. Flotilla I tried to pass Suez canal. After entering into canal at Port Said, I thought I will never see any hostile unit untill I reach red sea. However while approaching the Great Bitter Lake I was schoked seeing few British DD cruising around that lake

. I tried to pass through them silently underwater, but one of the DD has picked up his course right at me, and rammed me probabaly not aware of my presence there (cuz DD maintained his cruise speed) I bet I freaked him out too ATM

. From that moment action took well knows scenarious, Pings, DC, exploasions and fanfaras..
