To ram or not to ram?

I rammed a destroyer and sank it. U boat was fine. GWX 1.03 and 83% realism. Just love the free view.

What to do? Head for your base and have a drink :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Indeed. The game lets you get away with stupid human tricks. I try not to do things that would get me killed in real life.

Would not do it. At least not in real world...and not when playing DID.

Trail it for as long as you can and see if the weather improves!

The Kaleun made a snap decision: "Right full rudder! Make course parallel to the liner... Both engines ahead full!" U-86 throbbed as her diesel engines roared at high speed. Soon the sub was cutting through the water at 14 kts; a miracle considering the heavy seas...

But it was no good. The liner was off the bow at 100 degrees to port and 3km distant. Her weave showed that her crew had spotted us, yet regardless of her waving course, her powerful engines meant that she was slowly overtaking the u-boat.

The watch-crew looked on, powerless to stop or even slow her down. As the ship outrun the sub, the Kaleun knew that he pursued a futile cause: The liner was just too quick. Once again he cursed the weather for putting the deck gun beyond reach and ordered cruise speed and a course home.

Secretly, the crew felt relieved that the liner's speed made ramming impossible: they weren't particularly happy about colliding the front of their ship into the liner's hull - their bedding arrangements were nasty enough without the addition of flooding.

Two days later, they arrived back in St. Nazaire to a hero's welcome, penants flying for the ships they HAD sunk.
