Maybe they mistook my sub for yours. The Brits seem like they're really irate at you and your tea cozys.
I know no tea cozys floated to the surface after they got me, so they may still be looking for you.

This question still often without answer in many case of mine.
But finally, yesterday exactly, I understand.
Integrity hull !
Watch very often your integrity hull because sometime you are not damaged, don't need works from de security crew, but the integrity hull is down !

To tell you for example, yesterday I was often under air-attack.
Everytime I shot down the planes and save the ship but also everytime bombs exploded in the water very near me.
"Das boot is geshaft" but no works from security crew...
And like this, integrity hull shot down sweetly, first attack 82%, next time 73%, 65%, 49%...
Getting time to back home...

Finally, when I was forced to escape in the deep, at only 100 meters sudently integrity shot down at 6% !!
Just enought time to take a screenshot and after...RIP.

Hope to helped you.

I am playing with GWX2.1 and SH3 Commander and I've selected the option of not displaying my hull integrity, so I have no idea what it was after they hit my conning tower.
It may have been low after they hit me and getting down to about 110m may have crushed my hull like a egg.
I guess I'll just never know. I'm still not convinced it was saving while submerged though.


I can't read French, but that picture of yours says a thousand words.

You are a strong Kaleun and you know the same feeling as real situation !
It must be absolutly terrific !

If I keep this option 'on' it's just 'cause I still learning the game and its reactions.
I know, it's a chance that they did not before their big jump into the depths...

The brothels in Wilhelmshaven will fly there panties at half mast in honor of her gallant crew.

i make a point of sinking that nelson class in the narvik fjord in every career i start, lol

failsafe way to stay alive: dont mess up the hull beforehand and hang low at 200 meters: depthcharges and / or asdic can't reach there in that stage of the war. never got killed by those 9 bad boys

The Nelson came as somewhat of a shock. I was expecting to see the Warspite.
Wasn't she the historical ship that sailed up the fjiord to Narvik on 4/13/40 to give the German destroyers such a hard time after they were decimated by the British destroyers on the 10th?

That is correct...if your playing GWX2.1, you have options:
