Stupid Stinkpots

Razman23 · 02-26-06, 02:56 PM

So I am leaving on my second patrol (TY IIA) out of Keil. As usual, I have my destroyer escort. So I am happly transiting the canal when I notice the DD heading too close to the shore. I sit amazed as Herr Kaptain runs his prized boat straight onto the beach!

I thought this was a bug so I reloaded the mission and sure enough, he did it again.

Dumb-arse! :rotfl:

Oh, Im running RUB1.45 and SHIII Commander.

Sounds like he needs to go back to the Academy and retake his steering test and get his eyes checked out

Prolly nothing to do with incompetance, rather a bad route for that boat in that harbor for rub

Did you by chance save the game while in port? That causes ships to go crazy, and it says so in the HT readme.

Nope, I just cranked up SH III Commander and picked up a random skipper and picked Keil, 1939 start date. I believe it was the third or fourth patrol when this happened.

Its not a big thing as far as play is concerned but it did come over as funny.

Hmmm. I've never seen that happen, except when I saved in port.

Curious...

I've also seen this happen when I accedentally got too close to the escort, causing it to freak out and deviate from its scripted course. (By "freak out" I mean lead me through a minefield then crash into the shore.) So far, I don't think I've seen this happen when I stay a reasonable distance away.

Then again, I have seen this happen often enough that I'm guessing most of the German economy during this period in history was based on repairing all the DD's that grounded themselves...

Too much party for the helmsman or too old like me and had the coronary at the wrong moment. <eeewu>

I just left Kiel , i was going ahead slow , the same the DD escort . We were 10m on a parallel course (i was on his left) when the DD turned all left and increased speed !! i tryed to avoid him with full back but..... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: he caressed all my left flank......

Talking of stupid those Sunderland pilots need more flying lessons, I have seen now four mid air collisions by these clowns, what are they doing trying to laugh me to death. Save me on ammo thanks to their careless flying.
