Dead again.

Well damn.

My awesome Type IXC, with my awesome crew, was killed in October 1942 south of Ireland.

I hit a convoy on the way to Halifax, and nailed it good. Got away clean going deep. I followed it east, and hit it again. Took out 3 of the escorts in addition to a few heavies. Went deep. BANG! hit the bottom at 120m. Forgot it was shallow.

They made a direct hit with a DC run, destroying both electric engines. We sank to the bottom and stayed there.

I managed to keep her together for a good while, and thought I was out of the woods once, but they came back and slowly the boat crushed under the pressure in 112m of water.

Now I have to start over AGAIN!

sorry for your loss... You should have your navigator flogged for failing to report the seabed's change in depth!

If you think that's shallow, try getting into Portsmouth (or was it Portland??) without raking your keel over something.

Is that at the inlet? Finding the inlet channel is a challenge even using external camera. Beached three or four times trying to get in and really made an impression on the shore defences. (they left a few thousand of their own impressions all over my Uboot!!)

Well, at least you are not like me who was the proud founder and member of the First Patrol You're Dead Club.

GWX had me sunk just leaving port half the time.

Occassionally I would make it to the shipping lanes only to get zapped by a plane or DC to oblivion.

Playing dead is dead....I started over one more time. And again, and again....

Soon I found myself at the Russian front......

Sailor Steve · 07-13-10, 01:40 PM

...somehow alive and healthy after being killed repeatedly.

Or should this be in the zombie thread?
