First GWX patrol...

Yup, SH3 AI near land and harbors is terrible. I seldom do it anymore but I used to raid into harbors, shoot all my torpedoes, then maneuver into a slip and surface while protected from fire by the sea walls and buildings and pull in my external torpedoes, then dive and pull out of the slip and sink some more ships.

Air raid sirens would go off and all hell would break lose as they tried shooting at me but they could not hit me. Sometimes they would shell other ships that happened to be in the way. Quite entertaining.

I surfaced in a harbor ONCE. I was behind a dock and I started hearing shots land and the idiots were shelling their own buildings and docks. This was stock SH3. I dove down and escaped, but looking back, maybe I should have sat there until the DD was out of ammo. I would love to take down a DD with my deck gun. That would prove quite entertaining!

I just figured out what the DD that came after me when I sank the Hood and the revenge BB did to sink itself. I went back (I had to, apparently my save is gone) and this time after sinking the Hood and the BB, I watched through my scope. It came in wide-open, then stopped, backed up, and the nose submerged. I did what I normally do not do because I consider it cheating. I used external view and viewed the DD. I then backed up and hit something. I turned around and there was a sub-net there! The moron forgot about his own u-boat deterent!

I did not know there was a net at Scapa. I always come in via the shoreline so I guess it does not extend to the shore. Still, this made me laugh out loud. I would have loved to see it try to make it over the net. I can only imagine what the net would do to those high-speed props!
