Do enemy ships hit their own mines?

Definately not another U-boat. If only it was....

The only thing that would make this game better is actual game modelled rudeltaktik (wolfpacks)

I'd put my money on the mine theory, especially if you're using a mod that adds more minefields than what the stock game has.

Definitely could have been a mine. I towed a V&W that was giving me chase outside of Hartelpol (sp?) through a minefield. I made it through on sheer luck, he went boom.

Hmmm... Couple patrols ago I saw strange flashes in the distance, maybe 10+ something km or so, it was light fog (10km visibility). Every now and then just huge flashes and I was pretty amazed about it. So full speed towards it.

It was a large enemy convoy. And those flashes came from Revenge-class battleship firing its main guns. This was so strange that I just had to jump to free view and see what was her target (shame on me). It turned out to be another (submerged) U-boat for sure. Few km to port quarter from the battleship.

There also was one armed trawler and a fregatte, badly damaged and on fire. They were depth charging that other U-boat, near it, and were damaged by the battleship BB also had hit one cargoship, which was listing and slowed down, burning nicely. At least it had big blast-marks over her hull and deck.

Anyways, I got couple of screenies from that situation, so definitely, there was another U-boat. Only one that I have ever seen out there (outside or near harbours).

You're not running any wolfpack mods are you? I know one is out there, but I haven't heard much about it.

That would be awesome. I've always wanted to see another u-boat so I could jump on my computer chair and scream "THOOMSEN! DAS IST THOOOOOMSEEEEN!"

I have NYGM Tonnage War 2.2 and that's pretty much all...some Fubar's skins of course.

Heh, my scream went like:" WOOOOOOOW!! OMFG! ANOTHER UUUUUBOOOOAT! My real life "BdU" looked me rather slow and I was banned from the PC for a while and forced to go out for some fresh air So I almost got it like in das boot.

It was one of the greates moments with this game.

if you want to recreate the storm...jump into the shower and then scream it :rotfl:

ofcourse TGW1.1a includes some port moving submarines...but AI submarines on sea has yet to be seen

They most def hit their own mines when they stray into a minefield I've seen it many times in the game...especially the merchants AWWW! (by the way, you don't get any credit I'm afraid)

Going in and out of Scalpa Flow I have seen many a ships run aground esp when you put on of the larger ships on the shallow bottom in the bay. Course who wants to waste a fish on a flower corvette ect....
