yes. I had shot her down with the flack gun, only to have her collide into the ship between the conning tower and the water line.

Of all the places in the vast expanse of the ocean...and it had to crash into U-105

what a waste of a perfectly good boat

I was stunned when it happened. It took me about 15 seconds to realize what was happening. My computer bogged down under the stress, and when it regained speed we where at 25 meters and sinking fast, entire controll room killed, and aft crew also. no way to save the boat.

kind of funny looking back on how i always ran on the surface durring the day. GWX fixed that...

At least your boat was sunk in a less humiliating way...my U-230 was sunk by ramming from a merchant vessel.

Lesson learned...
