He said he is running GW. 1944, I would suspect a air attack.

Mine.. Mine.. Mine..Ouch!! Yah..You know those little round things with sharp poky stuff sticking out. (I hate those).

If it was a mine why would the crewmen on deck be killed? Wouldn't being high and out of the water actually protect you?

1944 - Lorient, Surfaced, High TC, its a given he just got Bombed, more so when the damage is centered around the area of the sub OUT of the water, Sail, Forward Deck, All Bridge crew killed, flack mangeled. 1944 - Lorient, Surfaced, High TC, just begging to be bombed.

No matter if it was any of the above, don't run TC any higher than 32 when near your base. I take back using TC of 64. You never know when a ship or plane is near if you run a high TC. So much is happening that the important actions usually get overlooked by the sim and you could end up dead.

If you're using SHIII Commander go to SHIII Options/TC and set "When ships detected" to 1. Same for "When enenemy plane detected". It will save yer bacon too when at sea. Not sure if 2.6 has this as I'm still using 2.5.

I would have to say probably an air attack as a mine always seems to kill off the radio room crew. Best advice from others is to use low time compression.
