I died...can anyone tell me why ?

LoneTraveller · 10-15-06, 06:18 PM

I was sinking a convoy in a rainy storm with my deck gun in the channel that separates England and Ireland. Everything was going fine then I collect some bills fees from my co-tenant and when I come back (15 seconds tops) it says on screen "Abandon Carrier"

I wasn't under attack 15 seconds ago so I am a bit concerned. Last thing I did before getting up was blowing up a small merchant ship in a big explosion about 300 to 400 meters out.

Is there a way to know what is the cause of your death ?

Thank you.

Usually I see what killed me or at least what my course, speed, and depth was when I die so I can kinda go off of that but like you I won't mind knowing what just sunk my boat.

Probably damage from the small merchant ship explosion. Some ships have ammunition as cargo, and when they blow up, if you are within about 1000M, you usually end up getting caught in the resulting blast.

Possibly an air attack?

I remembered that I was taking screenshots when the explosion happened. On them it is written "We're taking damage sir!" in the same minute of the explosion. So I guess I learned the hardway not to stand close to an ammo ship that blows up

No unfortunaly there is now way to tell after the fact what "killed" you.

While were on that topic I sure hope they do something better than the "poof your dead" death screen in the next version. Very anticlimatic.

:hmm: Hrm... no comment.

Im guessing that you either hit a mine or hit a ship shrouded in the rain.

Yes that is what the esc key is for !
