So Austrian ship, name is in German me thinks, sounds like you have a but of an identity crisis going on...for shame Axis captain, going to the dark side. You should be ashamed, turn in your "Das" J
Tisk Jay. I can see why you need therapy. The hazards to one's health captaining an Axis boat is immense. The endless walks of shame. The coldness of the water when you go and get your reef.
Actually, the requirement for therapy comes from sensory overload, all those Allied ships being shot into all those little pieces and when they sink, they spread out into the most interresting visual patterns. J
But "tis a well-known fact that all axis captains wish to be submariners. Our kindly allied skippers merely help them attain that goal. We've seen how our submarine fleet has such a happy demeanor, and of course allow axis captains and their crews experience the briny deep regularly. We're so helpful that way. Does make quite a mess of the bottom of the pond, with all that axis scrap iron everywhere, but it's where they're happiest, I think.
As a highly trained ship recovery specialist for the WWCC with 8 years of experience, I can assure you that I have dived after far more Allied battlewagons than I have Axis capital ships. Not only are they more often sunk, they are also harder to find due to inferior Allied engineering of their recovery float systems, despite their more extensive testing. And last I checked, all our mighty Axis submarines returned to the surface under their own power 4 times out of 5. That's 3 times more than the Allied submarines! So there, thppppp
Well there you have it. The stats don't lie, the source's integrity is undeniable, proof positive that the Axis are awesome and the Allies, well not so much. In fact, not even a little, teeny, tiny, puny bit! Thanks to Kotori87 for all the hard work and research, it must have been exhausting. (notice no Allied Captain put forth any effort at all to prove what we already know) J
Facts schmacts... Just because one axis captain has some "experience" with these bastard child experimental subs doesn't mean it is proof positive;-) We all know Axis like being submerged more than anything and will not dispute their "submarine king" status! Hehe Das Bütts
AH, typical Allied response Just because some real evidence points to facts and information that doesn't sit well in Allied craws...see previour posts regarding "Rose Coloured Glasses"!! As far as Axis Captains preferring it underwater, I think that is reserved for us Submariners (Can'twait until I-400 is on the water) J
All axis skippers are submariners, they just deny it endlessly. They have a history of sinking themselves, they love being under the water so much. Or is it just sour grapes when you get beaten soundly that you won't admit to being overmatched so you deny it? Go ahead, deny it again. It's quite pointless. We know you have masochistic tendancies and want to upset the allies so they'll flog you again.....and again and again......
You know what they say... there are two kinds of ships: Submarines, and targets. We Axis do prefer to be the ones doing the sinking, so of course we'd choose submarines
Yes, I know. Most times axis shot just gently skips along the water's surface, well wide of any target till it is spent. For about a foot, usually. Superor Allied Cannon fire strikes the water with large splash, tunnelling under the surface and wreaking havoc and devastation on the thin, poorly prepared hulls of the axis pigboats which are it's natural prey. Which is as it should be. You may deny all you like, but axis is the second place choice.
According to my studies, a "large splash" indicates a shot that went underneath its target, or traveled through too much water before hitting to penetrate. Another fine example of Allied gunnery, falling short again
Research conducted with inferior axis weaponry has no relevance to superior Allied firepower. I do understand that the axis may well be unfamiliar with the power of allied gunfire and the accompanying displacement of water, but never fear, there are plenty of allied skippers here in australia who would only be too pleased to demonstrate.
Darren, you are absolutely right about one thing!!! We Axis are very unfamiliar with the power of Allied gunfire...that's because we have NEVER, EVER seen it!! We are, on the other hand VERY familiar with the displacement of water...Allied skippers are definitely more than willing to demonstrate to us how their ships displace lots of water, all the time. We have also learned. from the generous Allied skippers, that Allied captains are very, very good at swimming!! J
Hey, don't be too generous, J. The Allies don't swim after their own ships. I keep myself fit by swimming after sunken ships from both sides. They're the reason I'm in such excellent shape today. If I'd only gone after Axis ships, I'd never even get my feet wet
Well, the Axis ships sink so quickly that they rarely make it further than arms reach from the shore. No reason to get feet wet while going after them.
