I went into the harbour from Scapa Flow with my type VIIb, found and destroyed one light cruiser in the bay. Than i went near the real harbour and tried to sink the warships. I went on firing torpedos and didn´t look at the normal map. Two Flower Corvettes found me with their asdic and started to depth charging me. Bow and after depth rudder were destroyed. So i had to go outside without using them. Go to PD with the pumps, moving for a while at that depth and then stop the engines for keeping the depth. The way in took me half an hour in realtime - the way out nearly 5 hours and a lot of adrenaline

K new stupidest thing i have ever done that just happened i will keep it short this time.

Radio Contact Overheard. I try to intercept it i dont get any hydrophone feed even though i had my broadside turned towards the ship. I surface my U-boat not knowing the weather. i use time compression and then i get what i was waiting for "Ship Spotted" i take a look and its foggy, dark, and high seas so im wondering how my crew spotted it. i turn around and i see a Large Merchant so close to us i could touch it. 54 U-boat crew was killed that night.

IDK why these new careers i start do so horrible but my other one seems to be lucky i need to stop being a noob :|.

I think that any harbour attack conducted under GWX would fall into this category. Bloody ASW trawlers... *grumbles*

I think the most stupid thing I've ever done though was my quest to sink the Aquitania.

Realism was about 70-80% IIRC, had externals on and First officer doing the math. I did a harbour raid into Portsmouth in a Type IX.

Yeah...

Made it out alive though! Just...

Attacking a very large task force with my VIIB near somewhere... oh well. I wasted half my torps on a battleship

. Forced to surface after endless depth charging. Faced 7 DDs and a damaged RN battleship with my deck gun

. BUT somehow i made it out. 2 destroyers collided together

and another one scraped the edge of the RN battleship and sank. Noticed a damaged destroyer heading for me and took out its cannons with an flak

, and then i flanked my way out.

This is plain stupidty then reckless.
After a tiring patrol in my VIIB. It was very slow because of endless patrolling hurricanes and bombers to AM32. sank 2 merchants on the way, but when i'm just about out of the dock i was attacked by 2 swordfish torp bombers

. Lost 1 crew as both planes scored direct hits.
As i arrived home it was ~2am and stormy. couldn't see where i was going, i spotted the 2 lighthouses and set a course inbetween. It was slow so i fast forwarded, then i noticed something was wrong, in front of me is the harbor wall, and i am flanking towards it on 32 times speed

...and you can guess what happened next...

UBOAT LOST DUE TO COLLISION...
