Dumbest thing Ive done is to launch hot torpedoes by pressing enter (3 times)before leaving dock.

Went on a patrol, 1941 and sunk 7 merchants came back a happy kapitan only to look at my score screen and realised all 7 were friendies!

Oooops!

I was in Dover, and was between a pier and a hard place, the entire fleet there was going nuts, but.....amazingly, that contact report i sent went through, and out of nowhere, the luftwaffe shows up...at this point, i have been depthcharged with the destroyer 5m above me... so i decide "The Royal Navy is concerned with the Luftwaffe, so ill do a 180 and surface and go flank." Of course, when i blew ballast, the 2 cruisers, 2 destroyers and anything else with something that goes boom aimed at me. To top it off, the Luftwaffe destroyed the Liner i was aming for......

Snuck into Lock Ewe in really bad weather... you know the type. Heavy rain & fog. I dont' remember the waves being really bad, probably because I'm in a harbor (at least they modeled that). It was also at night, so visibility was horrible.

I sighted this tanker just at the edge of my view range. Fired off one torpedo and dropped the 'scope (I'm being careful, since it's my first time in a harbor. Don't wanna mess this up

).

Bang. No "torpedo impact" from the crew :hmm:.

Fire off torp #2. Bang. Again, no torpedo imact notification.

#3. Bang.

#4. Bang.

Got out the external camera, then moved closer to the tanker. Hidden by the darkness and bad weather was one of those concrete docks.

I gave up and went back to port.

Booking along at 17knts attacking a Coastie doing 4.

Fired a fish, then turned a bit.

I had forgotten to re-select the right tube.

Bernard had loaded a Zaunkonig II into the #3 tube.

No, you cannot out run or out turn those things.

JSalinger · 08-02-06, 09:41 PM

Steed, your Bernard had you take on a battleship with a deck gun?!

Okay, your Bernard makes mine look like a nuclear physicist...

Stupidist thing ive ever done, was start a patrol, plot my course all the way to my patrol grid in the caribean, order ahead slow, scramble up to the the bridge, thinking to myself, "enjoy the view, its going to be a long time before i see port again". So there i sit, trying to enjoy the moment like one might have done back then when i normaly just TC myself out in map view, and then.....

***CRASH****

I ran my boat aground leaving lorient docks. I had forgotten to tell the navigator to follow the course i had plotted.

At the Academy. Gunnery Training. Firing at a merchant, 200 meters range, when he blew up, taking me and three of the Kriegsmarine's top instructors with him.
