So you sank Revenge with your deck guns over a 24-hour period from 7000m away?

I think we may have to cut off your ration at the Night Club.

1) to my knowledge, Revenge tends to shoot back. Accurately. With far bigger guns.

2) Revenge usually has a group of friends with it who are also armed and particularly good at swatting flies.

3) Revenge usually travels faster than a surfaced VIIB at flank speed, and you say you were diving and surfacing, reducing your average speed to far under flank.

And I have never seen a T3 Tanker in GWX... only in stock.

So... let's put that schnapps down and order a cup of hot coffee, eh?

1) Yes, she did and I lost many a man to her

2)Yes, Good at swatting flies and very good at catching eels too

3)It was spotted at 7000m and sunk at 400m

4)It looked like one, but everyone makes mistakes good job I didn't sink it and find out it was a random fishing boat or something.

Cool I get schnapps

So, not only did you sink Revenge, using your deck gun, in a flank-speed race over a 24-hour period, at 7000m to 400m, but you also sank her escorts using torpedoes? In GWX at 100% realism?

Hey, I buy it 100%. Not sure Uncle Karl will.

Believe it or not I was actually out to get a convoy so all I had were Fats in the forward and a Fat in the stern, its a simple trick let them spot you dive to PD let them come then set the fats to um....search? the area premature, all hit but most were duds I reloaded hit the rest attacked the Revenge.

(Same thing I do with convoys)

and I didn't race her I just dodged her rams after I got her guns off.

Oh OK, so instead of engaging the Revenge in running deck-gun fight for 24 hours, in which you also killed her escorts by torpedo, you ... what... reloaded and what?

And capital ships don't try to ram you. Other than shooting at you and zigzagging, they don't take tactical measures.

Why don't you just take us through the engagement play-by-play. Because what you are describing is one for the history books.

JokerOfFate · 09-09-10, 07:53 PM

sorry I'm tired OK heres what happen as far as I remember.

OK after I destroyed the escorts I surfaced to take on the Revenge, it opened fire with its front gun killing my WO and destroying my flak guns I got 3-4 shots in before her guns reloaded, I was using the UZO to target her when she turned and when I saw all the guns on that ship I had the sudden urge to use the loo. It fired and they all missed, well they fell short by about the length of my arm, but the morale dropped nearly as far as my jaw.

Not so lucky next time they all hit but the big ones missed I think, the game changed to Cat and U-mouse. I dived went low and fast and ran,
I think she made room in her schedule this is where most of the 24 hours are. After running around for a long time, suddenly, "NA:shes going down"
I was like "Whaaa?". I surface no Revenge only a fireball sinking into the sea. Back to base check the logs "OMG! I sunk the Revenge"

Now no more 20 questions thats the whole thing (Well I had to cut it down a bit).

Wow i mean, if this is true, how can you even enjoy playing this game anymore. Everything must feel so boring after this experience.

Sinking Revenge with the deck guns is too easy, even using the flak guns is simple....
Due to a recent re-stocking in the Canaries Islands, I had coconuts and pineapples on board, which I sank Revenge by throwing them at it whilst the crew sat on deck drinking Pina Coladas snd sun-bathing.

Interesting. The last I heard, one hit from a battleship would sink a u-boat. Instantly.

You are too modest, Cherry. Word has it that your crew seriously damaged Hood in the Norwegian campaign by spitting ligonberries at her.

Nice read, i've learned lot of things today! Uboot vs battleship... Thanks for the good laugh! And you know what i like the most? "now I'm looking for some other Battleships"
Priceless...

More important, if you are in enemy areas, don't rely on your sound man. Go yourself and have a listen. It sounds like you may have clicked on 'follow nearest contact' button, so of course you got one report.

Listen yourself, the scope around making sure to watch the sky for aircraft too.

Good luck next time.

Well I've got a new target to shoot a plane down with the deck gun.
