Surprise sinking?

Rosencrantz · 11-16-06, 09:36 AM

Well, it was a mine, I'm sure. You have hardly any chance to survive if you struck into the mine. So it was then, in RL, and so it's now, in SHIII. Channel is filled with those things, so I usually don't travel via it. If you use SHIII General, you can get intelligency information about both freindly and enemy mine fields.

Yes it was most probably a mine. If you need to get an idea where the minefields are you can either use SH3Gen or open up the editor and look around.

Well, the English can keep their stinking, mine-filled, channel then.

Those bastards cost me a promising career.

Ok, I'm over it. Next time around, I'll really make them pay!

Oh, was I handling the damage control right?

I figure if I can stop the flooding, the rest of it can be fixed in due time. If I flood out, I won't have time to fix anything else, and since I was in shallow water, I didn't think I needed to emergency surface - daytime, in the channel, that would have doomed me even faster.

Even in night time it is dangerous. The Channel is heavily patroled by the Royal Navy. Better stay out of it.

Correct. You would have never outrun the PT boats. You were kind of boned from the start though, as shallow water doesn't give you much room to evade the extremely heavy enemy patrols, nor the slew of mines in the channel. I echo the sentiment of "stay the hell away from the Channel!"

The channel is filled with nasty surprises.

Wonder how "populated" it is in GWX?

My guess is one could probably hopscotch over to France across the decks of the DDs and Elcos
