Try dying in the Naval Academy, by deck-gunning a ship and being too close when it explodes.

That happened to me a couple of times when I started playing SH3!

I can tell you that any distance within 500 meters is certain death if the ship you're taking out with the deck gun happens to be a tanker.

I know that feeling, But I must ask. Why does being that close to a ship when it explodes and something small hits you kills you.:hmm: That small pice of metal shouldnt sink me.

It's not necessarily just the flying debris and shrapnel that kills you so much as it is the concussive force of the blast crumpling your "iron coffin" like a tin can.

When a ship explodes, it's just like being parked next to a very large bomb!

Veary large bomb.

Ive been lucky ive been lucky when I get close.

Maybe that tanker is empty and on its way back to the States. :hmm:
If I'm wrong, please indulge me...
