Previous career? Sank a KGV Battleship coming up on the Straights of Gibralter (an area I have had some good luck with). In the this career, best so far is a 24000 ton passenger liner sank with a combo of 1 torp and 88 mm gunfire.

I play NYGM, so returning to port alive after a patrol is my biggest success.

I'm about to figure out if i will reach Shepke's record, so far two torpedoes - two ships, about 11,000 BRT http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=1153




although I have exceeded 70,000 tonnes, in the 42 rd, near the US east coast

Any aircraft carrier sunk is a great career.

Default The Thrill of Victory

3 ships sunk in a convoy. July 1942. Just north of Casablanca and survived. I'm not real good at convoy attacks. Or at least getting close and inside the escorts. Most of the time when I think I'm dead on, I find myself a tad to far out, for great shots. But for this one, it almost ran over top me.

A real-time 2 hour immersion with a damn cruiser on my tail, ended up half flooded but alive.
The adrenaline was real.

Default Sorry!

Once deep sixed the Queen Mary! Painted all grey and she was doing almost 30 knots. Just happened to be in the right position for a shot. In a Type VIIC, gave her all four tubes. Very cool to watch her go down; not too cool thinking of how many troops would have gone down with her.

Biggest success? How about the most MEMORABLE??

Early '40 on a rainy foggy day. Mild seas, but practically 0 visibility. Received contact report of a inbound convoy close by. Figured what the 'hey' we will try for it.

Running submerged, picked up their screws on sound. Could not see a thing through the scope. Listened as the lead escort passed us by with merchant screws closing ahead. Do we dare it on the surface? Yes! Up we go.

Nothing but fog and rain out there. They must be close, but where?! Then the towering bow of a large freighter appears out of the fog less 800m from our bow! Yes! Quickly try to set up a shot when other shadows appear all around us. Tankers! Bigger freighters! All around us! We are in the middle of the convoy. Close enough to touch and they don't see us yet!

Quickly we pick two large tankers and a let fly with all bow tubes. Bright explosions and fire. They are on the way down! Now what? There! A small freighter passing astern at less than 500m! Stern fish away! A hit! More explosions and she is gone.

Now what to do? No time to reload, the convoy in panic with us in the middle and the escorts alerted. No point in diving. Try to get away, but which direction? No idea where the escorts are, but they have not found us either. There! A space ahead between freighters! We thread the needle and disappear into the mist and rain.

We extend and attempt an end around while reloading, but never pick them up again.

Two tankers and a medium freighter for approx. 20,000t. I've sunk more in other attacks(BBs, CVs etc), sure, but NEVER felt such exhilaration as that day in the rain.

As of right now in my early career and as a relative newbie to SHIII, this most recent successful attack on a British convoy. Two ships sunk, waiting for a third. The Empire Class Freighter I hit exploded and sunk in less than three minutes. Should be almost 22-23K tons if it continues to go as planned... amazingly still not detected on this beautiful blue-bird day off the west coast of Ireland.

Moving at 1 knot and heading for 100m. Wish me luck!
