Since everyone is posting all these posts about GW 1.1a, I decided to make a praise thread after a wonderful encounter last night.
So here I was, sailing up the english channel, mid 43, dodging mines and getting ready to sink some serious unprotected shipping. I even turned on my radar to draw in some prey.
Lo and behold, along comes a destroyer. I get my torpedo ready and let it fly around 1000m, he zigzags and I miss (great realism! I love the zigzag thing!) and I crash dived. He pulls in over me and starts blasting me with depth charges. I take some damage and have to go unsilent to plug some leaks , which just makes him even more determined. I wasnt doing too well...
AND THEN IT HAPPENED
I was cheating wildly by using f12 to see where my sub was and zigzagging away from his tail where the DC racks are and out of nowhere, I hear the buuuuuzz of aircraft. Oh no, I think....he brought up support.
Then I see him start firing.....wait....it can be!
A huge flight of stukas had shown up to open a can of whoopass on him!
The LUFTWAFFE showed up to save my butt! They left the DD looking like swiss cheese and I popped a TP into him and got the kill!
The double cool part was that I have never seen an allied flight outside of a harbor until this moment!
Thank you GW!
