I did it again!

I'm goin' down · 04-24-13, 09:40 PM

After sneaking into Truk Lagoon in the Barbarinna, and sinking a freighter, destroyer, FUSO BB, and Hiryu Fleet Carrier, my boat's batteries were quite low. Rather than risk a race to the open sea on the surface or just below it (partially submerged so that batteries would recharge), I moored in a nearby Japanese boat slip. It was bracketed by three freighters, so no destroyers located it. Then I surfaced and recharged the batteries. I took awhile as time compression was restricted to 4x, but finally was able to recharge them to the point where I could submerge and escape. After departing Truk, I made my way to Midway where I was awarded the Silver Star.

I'm playing if they sink me I restart, so that is way to risky for me lol.

Great work, did you take any screenshots?

no screenshots. I pulled this off once before, but on that occasion two destroyers and one patrol boat tried to sink my boat. The quay wall in the boat slip absorbed all of the depth charges. The destroyers sunk the patrol boat in their attack, but never hit my boat.

I hope you're not thinking about starting another court marshall proceeding.

Going down, before the Admiral has you up on charges, please state your mods configuration, percent realism, etc. Those factors could weigh in his decision.
