:hmm: :hmm: sounds like my next patrol

You guys are nutz

nuts.... nah. my profile says im a wacko

05-15-07, 04:05 PM

On the way to BF13 from Kiel. Not as crazy or as skilled as you guys but who knows, my crew are eager as I have locked up the beer untill they get their first kill, and issued everyone with a clean pair of underpants.

U-52, patrol 5, March '40 returning from mid Atlantic. Low on fuel, provisions. No ammo except for flak.
112,000 tons for the patrol. Started with with sinking an Aux. Cruiser at Scapa Flow (I was looking for the Illustrious, but intel screwed up). Happily sinking merchants as we headed south, we never reached our patrol area. Made contact with a large convoy, though only one forward and two aft torps left, decided to attack.

The only escort turned out to be a poorly armed Aux. Cruiser at the back of the convoy.

U-52 pentrated the convoy and waited for the Cruiser. Final forward torp directly into its forward magazine= unprotecteted convoy.

U-52 surfaced and using the deck gun, took out larger merchants and tankers working from the back, forward to avoid collisions. Seven ships downed before we ran out of useful Ammo.

Will call into our supply ship in Spain on the way north, have now opened orders and will attempted to assist in operations off Norway.

First 100,000 patrol (80% reality).

Southwest corner of BF13 is good area for tankers

Telgriff · 05-15-07, 05:25 PM

Headed to CF31, sighted a large tanker and a freighter. Two fish into the tanker plus deck gun for both ships. Sunk. Proceeding to Freetown, picked up a cargo/passenger liner in ET21, 3 torps and sunk. Running total at 11,762 (pathetic) tonnes and noticing a disturbingly large amount of Warship traffic heading to and from Freetown.

I had my first casualty, my Type IID was made to surrender in a failed raid on Scapa Flow. I don't think submerged endurance was good enough.

Sorry to hear. Longevity and shallow water don't mix very well
