Legitimately died for the first time

[thebeasle]

Heavily modded, real navigation, and 100 percent realism.

The first mission of the "Happy Times" campaign, dropping off the spy near Londonderry. I managed to drop off the spy but took heavy damage from the escort's deck gun. I escaped but my hull integrity went down to 19 percent.

On the way home, I spotted aircraft near Scapa Flow and crash dove. Went down to 45 meters which apparently the boat cannot take when hull integrity is 19 percent.

I've played and restarted the "coastal waters" campaign several times when I've changed my mod soup. I just discovered the "silentotto" cheat which lets me choose other campaigns. I've died twice before. 1. planned / expected death testing the depths of the boat and 2. instant death while submerged during daylight. I suspect I either hit a mine or was shallow enough to be spotted and bombed by enemy aircraft.

Anyway, I consider this my first legitimate hard-fought SH5 death. It's good to finally join the club
