Really irked
Just returned from my second patrol (1st one was just a shake-down cruise, so no ships sunk) in October '41, with over 138,000 tons of ships sunk . . . and have a total renown of -4,350.
Because in the dead of night, with reduced visibility, when I surfaced to engage (having expended all torpedoes) I return fired at the guns shooting at me in order to silence them. At one ship I fired once --once, mind you!-- and suddenly rechecked that target to realize it was a Chatham hospital ship.
I hit it once . . . it fired at me first . . . I hit it above the waterline, and started a small fire above deck at the very far end of the stern . . .
. . . it sank 2 hours later.
Evidently I took a massive negative renown shot for that. And I go out of my way to make sure to not even come close to hitting a hospital ship. But whyinhell is a hospital ship armed? And how did it manage to sink after a single 88mm hit above the waterline, abovedeck, at the end of the stern?
I feel seriously robbed here.
