Boyant Armed Trawler

Sgtmonkeynads · 01-02-10, 03:35 AM

I got the alert of a ship being spotted of the coast of spain. Went to map to check it out and it said warship. So I dove and slowly made my way towards her. She did not move the entire time, so i figured "good she's dead in the water". Once I got close I found out it was only a wounded armed trawler, but knowing better I did not surface. " Well, shes already on fire so one in her side should net me an easy finishing shot." or so I thought. I put one in to her, made her raise out of the water a little, but no sink. i used T/C and watched her for two hours, nothing. So I put another into her, still nothing. This made me mad and i pumped two more into her, completely raising her out of the water, but still no sinky-sinky. I again used T/C and raced forward in time one day, still nothing. i pumped my last four bow tubes and my four aft tubes in to her, and still nothing. This made me mad, so I snuck away and surfaced to reload. i went back and gave her everything I had........she finnaly began to sink!
Hardest Nutt to crack ever. I have sank battle ships with less effort.

Returned to port to report my ONE ship sank, recieved Knights Cross.

Hi, the trawler might be bugged. Things like this happen sometimes. Im guessing you're using mod. Report it in proper section to modders, let them look into it.

As Apos says, I suggest you report it to the creators of the mod you're using. I assume you use OM? If so, go here. Also, give the following info in your report:

Date
Location
Type of Sub
Flotilla
Mods (in install order)
other relevant facts

Nah. I'm pretty sure I have a corupted install of either game or OM. I've had to many problems that no one else has reported. I just thought it was hillarious how unsinkable a fishing boat with a gun on it can be.

Did the people who named this boat mean to call it an Armored Trawler ?

Nah just a Iowa class with a cloaking device

You never know?

The Philadelphia Experiment was an alleged naval military experiment at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, sometime around October 28, 1943, in which the U.S. Navydestroyer escortUSS Eldridge was to be rendered invisible (i.e.,cloaked) to human observers for a brief period of time. That is also referred to sometimes as Project Rainbow.

The trawler may have been an earlier experiment? No sense in pulling a destroyer out of action for something that has not been tried yet.
He He..Conspirecey !!!!

When I was playing with the Admiral Scheer BB, I could destroy a destroyer with a single salvo (deck guns). The trawlers however.... there could be something wrong with them. However, don't waste your torpedoes on patrol crafts.

That is what I thought, that they may be a little stronger than they should be in the first place.

but come on.

Any way, i usually skip them as a waste of time, but this one was such an easy target. It just aggravated me that
it wouldn't go down and got the best of me. I guess I should have surfaced further away and tried the gun,
but knowing this trawler, it would have had a 16" gun.
