Brilliant torpedo work to blow that hole. Best I've managed is to knock the screw off a DD which I later finished off with a pair of torps breaking its back and blowing away everything on the decks.

Here's the destroyer I was on about. I swear it had a command tower with a bridge on it once. The black outline is where I'm positive the break was.

I just finished uploading this only to notice the limits on resolutions. So instead I will just let you all follow this link rather than resize:

Had not one single bow torp left and was very limited on shells, and worse, the sea was so bad that I would miss 2-3 shots I'd fire each time. Oh! I'll also play party pooper by saying that there is something utterly wrong when I can unram the ship when my stern is up in the air, thus I have no propulsion and yet, I just put on full reverse and reversed! That's what I call thick air!



Ya know, I just realized something... I was trying to ram a OIL TANKER... isn't this like trying to light a match inside a gas bottle making factory?

And they still let you go out to sea?!?
Who's your dad..... Don't know of any rank which could pull that off.

It must have been in spring 08 when i converted from TMO to RFB. Same time i learned the manual targetting which was really hard for me. So always when the frustration growed to high i took a little break. I activated the Silent Fire Mod and did the Battle of Midway. I really dont know how often did so but one game i will remember forever.
This happened only once, never before, never again... as i had sunken nearly all japs battle ships, carriers, destroyers... the japanese Air Armada attacked. It was the hugest attack on a single submarine that took place in WW2

But they had no chance and here it goes :rotfl::rotfl:

Uups: Whats this?



Wow: must be the complete japs airforce !!


Ok.. take aim





Lets rock..


Superb... what a firework


Well done, boys.....lets go home

I love it when a screen shot looks like an historic painting.

Close up(a little blocky)to show Torp Track on a longrange bow shot 6.865yds
thought I would just give it a try anyone done the same with good results??

When she spotted Torp(and they do) she made a hard turn to port, Too Late

Early to mid March, 1942, after resupplying at midway I witness and air attack.




Allied ships open up on the planes, though the carrier doesn't lauch fighters.


Jap planes take casualties.

Prisoners are captured

From my standpoint the jap attack is unsuccessful and I continue on my mission.


However things don't end for me, a couple jap bombers pass by and are shot down, provoking the japs, who begin launching zeros at me, I dive under and hold well till the next day where I'm caught by surprise, I crash dive but its too late.


The attack forces me to surface and the other zero swings around, My aa gunner rips into the air with all his might but the gun runs out of ammo, and he lands a bomb right on the deck of the boat.

And down she goes

Well we love to share the great ones, me included, but............

Ya gotta be honest and sad is sad, I lost a crew over a damn stupid little mistake, well little at the time but obviously huge now.

I was sitting at the mouth that goes right into the belly of the beast in Japan. I get sonar, fast ships moving, I ping em. Thats it, even though at 10k distance they come straight for me. I'm sitting at 150 feet, they make 1 pass and wipe out my boat with depth charges.

Guess I'll never ping em again, what a mess. I need to get demoted and face charges.

I'd like to be..... under the sea....

We would be warm.... below the storm...

Resting our head..... on the sea bed

We would sing and dance around ....

because we know we can't be found...

We would shout.... and swim about...

The coral that lies... beneath the waves....La La La La La La....
