Retribution For Crewman Incompetence, Anyone?

[ijnfleetadmiral]

My Sonarman at least has the competence to pick up merchants...Hossel has been known to carry a Luger for 'extra incentive'! However, said Sonarman also has the penchant for picking up ghost echoes, leading us to go on at least three 'Wildgans Verfolgungsjagden' (wild goose chases) every patrol.

You think that's bad?
When I attack a convoy, I tell him to listen to the closest warship, but every time it's ''No sound contact!"
I dread the day that I will have to rely on his skills if under attack

Inconceivable!!

I surfaced in a heavy storm to replenish oxygen and charge the batteries a bit. My watch crew failed to notice that we surfaced directly astern of a Nelson-class battleship. I wish I had taken a screenshot - we were so close it was amazing - watching those giant screws come out of the water as the ship slid down a heavy swell was a sight to see.

I was tempted to seal the hatch and leave them on deck, but chalked it up to extremely poor visibility due to the weather. I'm pretty sure they all needed to change their trousers after that incident.

I swear if anything like that happens to me, and I see the turrets slowly traversing, I will ram the C-key through my keyboard.

ZOINKS!

Talk about a shock! Of course, I'd be understanding if my crew didn't sight it at first; in our case they might not have believed what they were seeing! We've been praying for a battlewagon or even a light cruiser to cross our path; even deliberately crossed paths with a task force or two during the Norwegian campaign, but both 'task forces' turned out to be destroyer flotillas. Needless to say, we made like shepherds and got the flock out of there.

No, he was probably listening to the absolutely spellbinding 'Book on Record' version of Mein Kampf, as read by the author, of course.
