Yeah but now you'll have to get up and open the door every time somebody from the zentrale on back needs to use the toilet.

I usually get plenty of sleep during the early first stretch of the trip, usually quiet at the beginning of the war. (By that I mean that I let SH3 run at 1TC during the night while I sleep, closest to danger that I ever woke up was at the very entrance of the Dover Straight.)

A very risky enterprise indeed.I could never leave it running while I slept for real

Well,good luck with that *phew*

I was banging away at a merchant ship with the deck gun, and did not pay attention to how close we were getting to her. I cut across her path, and the blow of the merchant crashed into our stern.

I tried to turn away from her, but we were pinned to her bow, and the ocean pushed our bow around, pinning us to the bow and side of the merchant, which was burning furiously from our shelling.

The ship then exploded, and took us with it.

Talk about close encounters!

I was gunning a ship when it exploded, killing me and everyone on the bridge.

This was in Artillery Training School.

The first time I played the 'Save The Bismarck' single mission I surfaced for a look around, just like always - about 1000 meters from the two British battleships.

Really Steve,you should have known better

The one blunder I am forever making, it seems, is ordering the boat to continue on a ploted course during a silent runing operations beacouse some jerk up top was trying to kill me for some thing I was hardly involved in they some how got it into their heads that I was to blame for some "suspicious explosions" occuring on near by ships; I must say it was very uncool and unprofesional of the Royal Navy. So I give them the slip, they were spining around my last known position and blasting the poor fishies there, again it was quite uncool of them.

The plan was to move out on my ploted course twoards my PZ to do my job and all that. As soon as I give the order I saw the RPM gage crank way up, I hapend to be looking that direction at the time. I imidiatly order a lower speed seting but the damage was done as I heard the ping of the ASDIC and the fight was on yet again. Some times I escape again, others I have to engage and kill my unreasonable agressors and the rest of the time I am not so lucky. One such time I took two charges back to back, just aft of the tower. The charges took out both my deisl and electrics; that was a sticky situation for sure.

Once accidently rammed my escorting Sperrbrecher while evading an air attack and crept the 5000 or so metres back to the bunker with 80% hull damage.

I had my boat in perfect possition. The battleship was doomed as it approached. I raised the scope. Target at 340 degrees, range 800 meters. I fired my stern tubes as the escorts headed for me
