The most reckless/foolish thing you have ever done?

I decided to create a new career to try and infiltrate the Firth of Forth i started my Career on September 1st but since i wanted to change out my hydrophones i set patrol on September 2nd. In haste to get to the Firth of Forth before UK and France joined the war i told me men Ahead Flank half way in our Journy UK and France Declare themselves at war with Germany. So now i have made the decision to try and take it slow and not die.... i ended up getting the firth of forth just finding out that there is no room to dive, but i decided to press on... Eventually there were too many merchants in the area that were very small that weren't worth a torpedo but they could report my presence to a Destroyer and sure enough a Destroyer appears from the mouth of inlet going full speed ahead towards my ship so what do i do? Thats right charge at the destroyer my guns ablazeing. I eventually destroyed the destroyer

but with 45% hull integrity. I work my self ahead flank again to the nearest deep spot i could dive and wait out all the enemy presence. The bad part was there was a tug boat following me and to not waste any shells or torpedos on it well... i ram it

turns out there is a patrol craft comeing to the rescue and i cant get the tug boat that i rammed out from under me so i use it as a sheild from the patrol crafts AAA. i eventually get the Patrol craft with 33% integrity
so im contiuning on and another patrol craft comes out of no where

I made it to the history books as the first U boat sunk in WW2

I went into the harbour from Scapa Flow with my type VIIb, found and destroyed one light cruiser in the bay. Than i went near the real harbour and tried to sink the warships. I went on firing torpedos and didn´t look at the normal map. Two Flower Corvettes found me with their asdic and started to depth charging me. Bow and after depth rudder were destroyed. So i had to go outside without using them. Go to PD with the pumps, moving for a while at that depth and then stop the engines for keeping the depth. The way in took me half an hour in realtime - the way out nearly 5 hours and a lot of adrenaline

K new stupidest thing i have ever done that just happened i will keep it short this time.

Radio Contact Overheard. I try to intercept it i dont get any hydrophone feed even though i had my broadside turned towards the ship. I surface my U-boat not knowing the weather. i use time compression and then i get what i was waiting for "Ship Spotted" i take a look and its foggy, dark, and high seas so im wondering how my crew spotted it. i turn around and i see a Large Merchant so close to us i could touch it. 54 U-boat crew was killed that night.

IDK why these new careers i start do so horrible but my other one seems to be lucky i need to stop being a noob :|.

I think that any harbour attack conducted under GWX would fall into this category. Bloody ASW trawlers... *grumbles*

I think the most stupid thing I've ever done though was my quest to sink the Aquitania.

Realism was about 70-80% IIRC, had externals on and First officer doing the math. I did a harbour raid into Portsmouth in a Type IX.

Yeah...

Made it out alive though! Just...
