Dumbest thing Ive done is to launch hot torpedoes by pressing enter (3 times)before leaving dock.

Went on a patrol, 1941 and sunk 7 merchants came back a happy kapitan only to look at my score screen and realised all 7 were friendies!

Oooops!

I was in Dover, and was between a pier and a hard place, the entire fleet there was going nuts, but.....amazingly, that contact report i sent went through, and out of nowhere, the luftwaffe shows up...at this point, i have been depthcharged with the destroyer 5m above me... so i decide "The Royal Navy is concerned with the Luftwaffe, so ill do a 180 and surface and go flank." Of course, when i blew ballast, the 2 cruisers, 2 destroyers and anything else with something that goes boom aimed at me. To top it off, the Luftwaffe destroyed the Liner i was aming for......

Booking along at 17knts attacking a Coastie doing 4.

Fired a fish, then turned a bit.

I had forgotten to re-select the right tube.

Bernard had loaded a Zaunkonig II into the #3 tube.

No, you cannot out run or out turn those things.

While raiding NY I ran into a Elco and I took him out with my flack guns. But little did I know that he had called in a frend, a Somers DD. I crash dived in 18m of waters. I died.

My most recent debacle was a daylight surface run in Sept 1939 through the channel. About an hour and half from Dover the balloon went up (GER Invades POL etc etc.), and half the british fleet is sitting just outside Dover. I didn't see the green go red until it was too late!

TC at 1024 returning port and crashing in some unknown object and destroying sub and crew. Happened more than once.... very dumb. But also leaving port with TC at 8 and sub being destroyed. Found out I kept plotting a course right into Lorient's minefields. Dumber.

And worst of all... being in a big hurry to install a cool mod only to lose the whole career.... I was at sea. Dumb was the first time I did that and lost 24 patrols in a very good career. Second time was dumber, but I lost only 14.

Snuck into Lock Ewe in really bad weather... you know the type. Heavy rain & fog. I dont' remember the waves being really bad, probably because I'm in a harbor (at least they modeled that). It was also at night, so visibility was horrible.

I sighted this tanker just at the edge of my view range. Fired off one torpedo and dropped the 'scope (I'm being careful, since it's my first time in a harbor. Don't wanna mess this up ).

Bang. No "torpedo impact" from the crew :hmm:.

Fire off torp #2. Bang. Again, no torpedo imact notification.

#3. Bang.

#4. Bang.

Got out the external camera, then moved closer to the tanker. Hidden by the darkness and bad weather was one of those concrete docks.

I gave up and went back to port.
