Lokasenna -> Don't see this every day (1/18/2014 8:18:15 PM)

Playing against the AI to kill some time today, and this happens:

quote:

Sub attack near Kangean at 59,106

Japanese Ships
xAK Sydney Maru #2, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage
SC Ch 2

Allied Ships
SS Pickerel, hits 3, heavy damage

Japanese ground losses:
Guns lost 4 (2 destroyed, 2 disabled)

SS Pickerel launches 2 torpedoes at xAK Sydney Maru #2
Pickerel diving deep ....
SC Ch 2 fails to find sub, continues to search...
SC Ch 2 attacking submerged sub ....
SC Ch 2 fails to find sub, continues to search...
SC Ch 2 attacking submerged sub ....
SS Pickerel forced to surface!
xAK Sydney Maru #2 firing on surfaced sub ....
Contact with submarine is lost


One direct hit, one near miss, and a force to surface...and then the xAK sinks her with a sniper shot from the deck gun.

The xAK sank as well.

In my PBEM, same thing happen but it was in front of 8 DD : 28 hits [:@]

But in you case, I estimate this scenario to happen at about 0.0001% [X(]

You xAK didnt sink, it chased the submarine. Dont mess with the Japanese merchant marine, or else !

Isn't that the truth.

In my head, I'm remembering it as "...and then the Maru rammed us. Can you believe it?! We both went down."

Yeah sometimes really cool stuff happens. I remember an I-boat of mine forced to surface by a destroyer. It totally went ballistic then and fired torpedos in all directions hiting multiple ships before geting shot to pieces.

I just had an S class sub surface against the CVL Ryujo (no escorts!) and engage in a surface battle.
Needless to say the sub took heavy damage - but luckily it may have put 2 torpedoes into the carrier.
