Ever gotten into a firefight with something else than a PT boat or merchant?

I only fight in surface if is necesary

i was sneaking through gibraltar but i found a heavy scorts presence,i was detected and depth charged ,unable to scape, so i surfaced in the middle of the fog at flank speed and i had to sink a fast boat with the 20 mm and 37 mm heavy flak.

finally i scaped with a member of the crew wounded and little hull damage by gunfire

this wasnt me but my dad ( the one who bought the game and got me hooked

) anyways after he missed with a torpedo(against a flower 'vette he surfaced and shot at it with you guessed, his flak gun (fyi it was behind him[He had shot a aft torpedo]) anyways it caught up and hit him from the back and pushed him at about 10 knots for a couple minutes before it broke off and slid along his side (with my dad going full auto on his flak gun lol) , at this point the flower pulls ahead and turned and he pulled his uboat around to chase him and finished him off with his deck gun :p

I love to shoot flower corvettes whenever I get the chance to do that. I surface to their stern, where they can't shoot back with their forward deck gun. Whatever turn she tries to make, I allways stay on her back....she is shorter and more maneouvrable, but I have the advantage of speed. Her AA shells can't reach me at 1500 metres, by my deck gun ravages her stern. It all ends up as a sea dog fight

. Unless somebody comes to help her....she is doomed. This dog fight usually takes much time, because she does sharp turns, adn so do I at flank speed. This ruins my gunners aiming every time, and a lot of shells go waisted.

With my IXB U-706 Vs Nelson Destroyer

Scores
IXB - 0
Nelson - 1

that bloody ship just came out of no where....dôh Sonar-Radio room not occupied by crew and I had no watch crew on the deck...

(dont ask me why.)
Suddently I see on my map that there is an Ship...and I looked checked distance...and 5 second later my Sub Icon turned red and he started to shoot...and I ofcourse Shot back

Funny this subject came up, last night I changed my reload time to zero on SH3C just for a laugh and I started to hunt down destroyers. I successfully sunk the first one but I suffered alot of damage taking on the second one, which was too much for my crew to deal with.

So it ended in a draw, great fun while it lasted.

Early war period I won't mind taking on a Flower corvette if it is night and I can get the first shot in, but I'll only do this if I am feeling really game.

I take on flower corvettes on the surface most of the time my crew last night took on a Black Swan on the surface,(I thought they were takeing out stragglers from a convoy I just demolished)

I had too take the deck gun myself although she was a blazing wreck all her forward guns were destroyed but her rear gun was still intact but after about 20 rounds of HE into her she went down,won't be doing that again in a hurry.
