Things that make you go Ahhh ****

Gargamel · 11-04-10, 08:29 PM

I've had this type of thread do very well on other forums, hopefully it'll work out here. It's kinda like the "tell us what your doing" thread, A place to post/gripe without needing to start a whole new thread.

Things that make me go ahhh ****

My frist CTD, probably from saving to close to a merchy, As I exited I told myself i coulda just paused it....

Forgetting to check the GWX harbor maps for defenses when leaving a new base.

One thing that made me go "AHHH", was when a friendly surfaced vessel ran over me.

Flaxpants · 11-05-10, 03:12 AM

My graphics card died on me last week, so I had a big Aaaah **** moment.

krashkart · 11-05-10, 04:27 AM

Ahhh **** moments:

-When I'm on a particularly good patrol and I suddenly realize that Monday morning (IRL) is just around the corner.

-My pinky finger malfunctioned while evading escorts and hit the "S" key instead of "Z".

-Evading Gibraltar patrols: diving too deep and realizing that the only way to keep from sinking to my death is to make lots of noise with the engines. (Ahead Slow or better)

-Firing an easy spread into a docked battlecruiser, only to realize afterward that the depth settings sent all four eels into the sub nets.

-Waking up with my face on the keyboard: Priceless!

^^ (No blackmail pics available, sorry

I got a literal "ah ****"-moment several weeks ago.
Went to the toilet, forgot to pause the game, came back and seen two hurricanes happily strafing my boat with machine gun fire. No casualities, damage was minimal, but lesson learned:

When I run out of beer in mid patrol.

Having a really great patrol,sinking 4 ships in convoy,evading escorts,.....then being chucked out of game because my anti-virus suite decides that it needs to scan my H/D!!!!Ahhhhh S******

Missing Name · 11-05-10, 09:11 AM

Evading destroyers. It's all going well, and then you accidentally hit "Full speed ahead," giving away your position. Ahhhhhhh s- sorry, heck.

When you're doing all the typical things to reduce CTD, and yet somehow you end up redoing that patrol for the 5th time...

This is why we need a mod that lets us board merchant vessels and take their cargo. One of them has to have some ale on board, and we'll sink their entire convoy until we find it! Somebody get to work on this "Avast!" mod, and pronto!

When you load up your patrol, go make your cup of tea (or fetch your beer), load the dishwasher, tidy your computer desk, and look up to see the red line disappear and the magic words "Not so long ago..." fade in, and stay, stay, stay, stay, stay - CTD.

Ahhh ****ake mushrooms

Having a perfectly lined up shot on a passenger liner and forgot to set the eels to impact instead of magnetic.

I reserve the right to add more moments to this thread.

or when you have the torpedo set to magnetic, change to impact and in your haste, you forget to adjust the depth. It hurts seeing all those torpedoes fly less than a meter from their target.

We need a mod that will order a case of our favorite brew from the nearest store when we begin to run low, with a precision airdrop option for those living out in the boonies.

Having loaded up the patrol then went to the loo until to realise after sitting down one has forgotten to wipe ones bottom
