Wait a minute. Did you say you have a couple friends that live in a giant dick?

Where were you? It sounds like a harbor to me, if so I've done that one. Just the other day actually, when I attacked Scapa Flow. I had to hide out for a while to wait out the storm, so I slipped in beside a Fiji class light cruiser.

If I get that far.

More like scrabbled eggs.

Eggs!

Did someone mention Eggs?

I love em...

Yes. I posted a series of 7-8 pictures on how I was able to pick off a DD who relentlessly came after me. I believe I racked up several battle wagons also. I'll have to find that link here on the forum - quite a good time I must say. I hung under a disabled battle wagon, kept the DD on the hydrophone dial tracking him and poked out for the kill after he circled 6-7 times.

it was vaags fjord, norway

Very frustrated escorts!

meanwhile, a few meters down, were having a cup of tea and listening to the gramo

It was done in real battles, the sound of merchants did mask the sound of sub and allowed it to sneak away. Many real life tactics does not work in simulators (while some things nearly impossible in real life does work in sims)

Did I spot a 'umark' there?

The other day I was playing a single mission, it was a convoy of the US coast, I think, in very shallow water. So shallow that the ships I sank were still visible on the surface when they hit bottom.

So I just drove my sub, using the periscope, right next to the wreckage and stopped.

As the escorts circled the wreckage, I sank them with torpedoes as they came into view.

Thats what I am talking about hidding under a ship while gaining entry to a harbor. But really some sensors should be masked by the host ship.

Once, I was under a halted T2 with two FLOWERS above also stopped. Everytime I made a move to go away, the FLOWERS were immediately above me!!! I can't remember what finally happened...I assume they sunk me.
