Boldly running my brand spanking new type II into the Kiel minefield because I didn't check the map....Kerfooom

Sinking the Lutzow, that wasn't so hot either....

That would have to be the first (of many) failed attempts in Scapa Flow. I actually think I have single handedly lost more boats in that damned place than were lost in the entire war.

Oh, and the time I tried to sail through Gibraltar and the Der Kanal on the way to Bergen. :rotflGWX of course, dont know how hard it is in vanilla)

Accidentally rammed my escort leaving Flensburg and while getting that sorted out an RAF raid started and my U-989 was sunk. All this maybe 1500m from the pier; that kaluen went on to "other duties".

Good Hunting

Also happened to me... Just left the subpen, then the bombs started falling around me..Bernard (on watch duty) had his new target cap on, that his old aunt Brünhilda in Bremen had sent him for his birthday.
(Here's a pic of her from the birthday-party

(And yes, that's NOT a candle, it's a stick of dynamite.. )

Bernards cap with the big red target on top made the brit's bomb run an easy task... So, my steel cigar and all hands went to the bottom...

Quoting Bernard Murphy's law;
"...if anything can go wrong, it will, and it will be my fault, no doubt..."

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Actually, she showed it to me....*I'm not gonna say where it is placed, but i can say that you have to look closely and use your periscope wisely..:p ..You might want to get the "Playboy recognition manual" to ID the target properly..*

Wow I just wonder what exactly _did_ Bon Scott have to endure before writing Whole Lotta Rosie

And oh, BTW, I almost screwed up another career today. I was hunting this convoy, and neither me nor my crew noticed a Storozhevoy coming in at flank speed until the buggeress was all over us! We crash-dived but she succeeded in DCing us quite accurately, which of course then resulted in us getting some very inconvenient and TOTALLY unproductive and uncool damage to our boat We did escape, however, but for a moment it definitely felt like she was Rosie and we were Bon Scott

Still, no matter. We escaped and even succeeded in sinking a tanker off that convoy later on

After reporting to BDU they replied that the first drink's on them (no really), so all's well that ends well I'd imagine

S!
