How much luckier can you get?

[Brag]

Ple relay to BDU
U 123 Position BE63
15 Oktober 1940, 0347 hrs.
No, radio, both periscopes destroyed, flack guns destroyed, serious hull damage. No casualties. Retuning Lorient. Enemy tonnage 32,000.

Been shadowing convoy for 2 days. On second attack convoy had changed course twice. I found miself in unfavorable position with Black Swan approahing. I stopped engines to let it pass. With B. Swan at 900 meters it became obvious I had to either take the Swan out or abandon the attack.
Fired 2 torpedoes, 1 impact, 1 keeler. #rd torpedo at a pyro ship.

Black Swan changed course and headed for U-123. I order dive to 150 meters, watching Swan on periscope. Swan approaches, depth charges blow up on deck sending Swan's crew flying.

Swan makes another pass and drops DCs. This time we are at 50 meters and avoid the salvo by going flank speed.

Pyro ship is hit and sinks.
Two torpedoes that missed the sloop, impact on Large freighter.
We received heavy damage during escort's prosecution. Managed to make essential repairs and stop leaks. And got away.

With a bit of more luck, we should be docking in Lorient at 1230 hrs on 18 October.

Thats pretty good luck, good job Kaleun! :up:

I got lucky and found Bismarck in real game on my last patrol and put 4 steamers in the Battleship King George V which obliged me most kindly by rolling over and sinking. Got to say thats my luckiest moment so far.

The only screenies I've got are The Swan from Hell of the previous night. The bastard was on flames with crew frying and still giving me hell with two of his buddies (worst DC attack I've been through so far) .

The Bismarck was damaged badly in the fight with Rodney and two heavy crusiers.
she sank the two crusiers(whose names temporarily escape me:damn:) And drove the Rodney off. I raced submerged to get more shots off at Rodney but couldn't catch her.
I made it over to Bismarck but swordfish kept attacking her and forcing me under ( weather was too sever to help with flak) Sadly she eventually succumed to the Swordfish :nope:

But it was an awesome experiance. When i get home tommorow I'll be posting my screen shots :D
