Continued...
After I sank the Ise it was time to RTB to Soerabaia. Decided to stop by my old port of Manila which had recently fallen, just for sh*ts and giggles and to see what the Japs were up to. Was very interesting... I sailed in surfaced just to see what would happen. Passed a couple Jap merchants and a sub chaser on the way in, nothing happened. As I approached Cavite, a single shore battery opened up on me and didn't score a single hit. Sailing into Manila proper, there were 2 Small Old Tankers and a sub chaser tied up at the docks. Here's what I did to one of the tankers: This was done with the deck gun, can't afford to waste torpedos You can see me there in the distance. Next I went to the other side of the harbor to take out the sub chaser and the other tanker. Engaged the sub chaser 1st, also with deck guns. She'd ignored me the whole time since I arrived but after 2 or 3 hits she finally woke up She fired about 15 rounds before going to the bottom and scored 2 minor hits on me. The tanker got the loving attention of my deck gun next and joined her Jap buddies on the bottom in short order. While I was taking out the tanker, shots were whizzing over my head from a DD that had gotten the word and was closing from the other side of the harbor - finally, the Japs are gonna mount a response? I put the last of my deck gun ammo into her as she charged in on me, and here is the result: Seems like I've seen this before? I think in "The Enemy Below" at the end of the movie... At this point, I've got minor damage to 2 diesel engines and the main pump, minor damage to the conning tower bulkhead, sonar stack and attack periscope. Strangely, despite the fact that the bow of that DD is all over my deck gun, I've got no deck gun damage showing??!?!?! We'll see how it plays out, I've had so many interruptions since I started these posts (starting just as I took that last screenshot) that I guess I won't find out 'till later how it all turns out... Have I mentioned how much I love SH4 despite her many "blemishes"? DH |

Ramming Speed!!! Great tale of the hunt DirtyHarry3033! I could only imagine you and your crew's attentiveness as that Takao brushed your bow @ 200 yrds. Quote:

Nope, didn't notice that. Looks to be a rather evil grin on his face, I can picture him rubbing his hands in anticipation of the sailors he's about to receive DH |

December 9th, 1941
Cavite Bay S-36 0900 hrs, Depart for patrol area. Open orders,patrol Phillipines. (should be a nice quick one) 12 hours later, main patrol objective completed. No enemy sighted. 19:00 hrs New orders, engage enemy shipping. Decemeber 15th 01:05 hrs. Lookout spots enemy warship at 038, long range. Dive to periscope depth, slow to 1/3, up scope, many fat merchants come into view. Get past first destroyer, now in convoy. Line up 2 large merchies, fire 4 torps, dive to reload and wait for the fun to begin. 2 torps miss, and 2 do not explode Back to periscope depth, up scope and looking for more targets. CRASH DIVE, destroyer at 180, approaching fast, (and did you know they use their signal lamps, I saw him calling his buddies over to the Depth Charge party) Survive the first pattern with only deck gun damaged Just as I am passing thermal layer (crew told me) we get hammered All of a sudden, Bulkheads collapsing, flooding, diesel motors damaged etc. BLOW BALLAST, emergency surface, alas, it was not to be We sank to 387 feet and the room started spinning and the last thing I saw was my boat fading into black... Next screen You have been awarded the Submarine Service Medal. Next screen (and this is exactly what it said) "Although the Admiral wrote that he regretted to inform your next of kin of your demise at sea, something makes you suspect that he was actually a bit releived. Thankfully, and maybe out of respect for someone that ultimately gave their life in the service, your abysmal record was scubbed before making it into the National Archives. Your family still thinks of you as a hero at least" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I love this game, warts and all |

1) The ship is upside-down, perhaps the IJN captain always wanted to be a Zero pilot and attempted a snap roll with disastrous results? 2) The ship has capsized and by some miracle come to rest on the bottom, balanced on the tip of the mast? 3) The forward turret is still firmly in place despite the fact it should have ripped loose and fallen to the sea floor? 4) The lifeboat is still hanging "downwards" in relation to the davit, though it should be hanging "upwards"? 5) The seaplane is still firmly attached to the catapult rail? That's all I can come up with, how'd I do? DH |

Close encounters
Last night I was hunting a convoy. After some hours I really had to surface because my batteries were running low.
Well I crossed my fingers and surfaced.. Within 3 minutes 2 (angry) DD were chasing me. One of them tried to ram me ! I shot one DD to pieces (how can this happen.. I sunk a DD with one deckgun against a fully equiped DD. They are always firing one round at the time.. why?) They should have blown me out of the water easily.. |
