Why I dislike fog... [pics]

Kalach · 09-25-05, 07:10 PM

I had started a new career in a IID, I made it through the channel and to my patrol grid. I did my patrol and proceded back through the chanel to look for targets off east England. It had been heavy fog throughout the whole patrol and I hadn't had any opportunity to sink a thing.
Then I get the "Ship Spotted!" message - never a good thing in heavy fog

ALARM!!!

That doesn't look good at all... The explosion on the water is our sub

We are still alive so far, and the DD was stupid enough to cut infront of us. Flooding's mostly under control.

Now I know why I have 7 warships at close range closing on my position....

Another reason... If the fog weren't here I'm sure i could of taken at least 1 good victim.

All's well that end's well I guess. We made it home on christmas day with only a badly scortched hull for our troubles

Nice story..

call me a coward but in case of heavy fog and night, i never engage.. i prefer to stick tail for awhile hoping fog dissapears, or morning comes. Later tactics doesnt alawways work though, as i am a sucky navigator hehe

I had no choice, I try to stay under more often in heavy fog but my crew eventualy wants oxygen (wimps

). I'm glad I ran into a DD, and wasn't spotted by a BB
