How did I manage that?

Hello.

Just recently started to dip my foot in the water with SH III and the Grey Wolves Mod. I've stumbled across an amusing yet wholly bizzare sitution in the career game after leaving Lorient Port.

As most of you likely know, when departing Lorient you come to an island near the mouth of the bay. Based on my next patrol grid, I took a different approach around the island and went right (that's the U-boats right on a south couse) instead of the previous left.
Well, doing this I quickly managed pummel the boat on the sea bottom in what, unknowningly, turned out to be very shallow water. I was able to stop the boat in time to save it from complete annihilation and I subsequently returned to port with the hull integrity down to 52 and 2 of the bow tubes utterly destroyed. For this rather confounded mishap I was award the Iron Cross, Second Class -- making it The most generously rewarded misadventure that I've ever seen.

I don't think this really has anything to with the GW expansion but rather a short sighted calculation by the SH developers - perhaps by simply figuring that my return to base with a broken boat, I've managed to gallantly bring it and the crew back from a daunting battle.

I think this is one of those twisted misfortunes which I have no intention on blaming on Bernard, as you say.

Has anyone else experienced this or what do you think has happened?
