Steed, your Bernard had you take on a battleship with a deck gun?!

Stupidist thing ive ever done, was start a patrol, plot my course all the way to my patrol grid in the caribean, order ahead slow, scramble up to the the bridge, thinking to myself, "enjoy the view, its going to be a long time before i see port again". So there i sit, trying to enjoy the moment like one might have done back then when i normaly just TC myself out in map view, and then.....

***CRASH****

I ran my boat aground leaving lorient docks. I had forgotten to tell the navigator to follow the course i had plotted.

At the Academy. Gunnery Training. Firing at a merchant, 200 meters range, when he blew up, taking me and three of the Kriegsmarine's top instructors with him.

Just started my second patrol leaving Willhelmslaven when my friends called so to impress them, I 'crash-dived' in the Harbour so they could hear the 'bells', 'whistles' and general kafuffle only to hit the bottom of the sea-bed with an almighty bang and the 'we're taking damage sir' whilst the Band on the quayside played merrily away. Needless to say, with a red face, I tried to talk my way out of this embarassing situation !

When I started playing SHIII, I sank my boat dozens of times when I crashed to pier when returning from patrol.

Not to mention leaving for patrol.
God, the annoyance before they patched the map to include those port drawings.

That band's incredible, by the way. Keeps on playing even while being blasted by heavy bombers. Amazing.

Hmm... The band´s from Titanic, the watch crew is from Titanic (not reporting icebergs). I wonder if anything else is from Titanic. :hmm:

Not really silly, but had a weird experience today, while playing the "Scapa Flow" Mission.

Snuck into the basin OK, past most of the waiting escorts, when I got spotted by a Hunt 1 DD that I'd missed. I played "cat & mouse" with him for about 10 minutes, suffering only a little repairable damage, when the rest of his buddies arrived. 3 flowers, 2 Armed Trawlers, and the Hunt 1.!!!

Next thing I know, all hell has broken out above the waves, while I keep popping my scope up for a look (I was playing 100% real, with no external camera). I fired a couple of hopeful torps in the general direction of the DD, but missed. Then I started hearing big explosions. Thinking I was about to be blasted out of existence, I stuck up the scope for another last look at what was going on, and guess what........the DD has only been blasting away at me with his guns, but his aim is totally crap, and he's only succeeeded in hitting 2 of the Flowers and both armed Trawlers, that were circling round me!!!!

They were burning like November 5th!!
I think he must have been firing at roughly where my scope had popped up, but his gunners needed a LOT more Training!!!

I bet the Admiral was p*ssed when he got back in!!!

(btw.....I finally got rammed by the last of the Flowers and won a nice shiny Black screen with lovely orange writing!!!

)

cheers
