Really ... I don't know what to say ...

...and also to be fair, knowing how the game works, I can tell you that there's no such thing as laser-aimed depth charge throwers in the game and destroyers do not know how to maneuver into exact position to hit you with them. Depth charge throwers simply launch their loads to a pre-set distance as part of a depth charge run. You simply got unlucky in this case.

And why did he launch 4 DC (!) ONLY there ??? On the contrary, I think rather that was a real laser-aimed depth charge thrower ... Really ... pffffff. And in these conditions, some players are playing "Dead is Dead" ?!

No, that was not LSH but GWX sensors. And in addition, my navigator who doesn't stop to tell me "Wir haben wassereinbruch", "Wir haben wassereinbruch", "Wir haben wassereinbruch, herr Kaleun !" JA !!! Ich weiss dass wir eine Wassereinbruch haben , du Idiot !!

This game is a non sense.

I'm desperate.

As someone who's been involved with modding the game (including damage and weapon accuracy) since 2005, I can tell you there's no such thing in the game. You got very unlucky. There's no need reading some sort of design into what was just a weird incident.

Granted, there's still some pretty inconsistent behaviour in the game, but "ragequitting" because of something that the game isn't actually doing doesn't seem very intelligent.

That was worse before ?! What did you do to improve damage and weapon accuracy ? (that is an open question)

PS : This is not the first "weird incident", far from there !

Well if GWX has Laser guided DC's?
I want credit for those!

I've been rammed at periscope depth by a escort and survived.

I've taken a 5 inch shell right through the pressure hull and was able to dive to 100m and survived.

I've struck a mine at 50m and survived.

I've taken a direct bomb hit from a aircraft and survived.

These are all instances where 'in reality' I and my boat should be dead, but the game let me return to base. In fact in the 1st and 3rd instances I felt so guilty that I wasn't sunk that I sank myself and started a new career anyway.

So, I can easily accept the trade off that the game will occasionally nail me.

@ KaptZ

No problem for me to be sunk, but in a realistic way !!

Being killed in one shot with 4 DC on the head is NOT realistic.
