My best start of a patrol...

[Kpt. Kozloff]

I don't mean to be a show off but i just couldn't resist. This is definitely the best start of a patrol i've ever had. Check this out.
Patrol 6. I was plowing ahead towards Orkneys when my WO reported a DD on the horizon. Periscope depth and rigged for silent running. Then the soundman got another 4 signatures. I took a peak through the scope and there they were on the collision course a pack of 5 DD's doing 15 kts. A task force of some kind... yeah, the worst, sub hating kind, filled up to the brim with DC's. "What the heck" i thought, 6 patrols is quite a long time at sea and if it ends now then, well... Battle stations!!!
Checked the recognition book and adjusted torp's running depths. Tubes 1, 2, 3 than 90 degrees to portside and 5. Bang on target, all of them. Woohooo!!! But one DD is still out there and he got a sniff of me, "not much use of silent running now" i thought... Ahead flank! Twisted and turned like a snake, took some DC's fired 4 torp's at it, all missed, and then out of the blue came a Condor and bombed it! Didn't do much damage though but lit it up and got it off the course. That was my chance...
Sent him a fish right in the nose! Yeah! But he was still going and somehow decided to do a runner! "Right" i thought, "I'm going after you". By the time i got into shooting distance and reloaded a torp, he was dipping it's nose in the North Sea's floor.
Here are some pics:

Hehe, you mess with me, you get a bloody nose... (that's the last of the DD's)

How about that Kaleuns? I'll continue the patrol although this encounter took 9 torps out of my boat. Wish me luck then...
:arrgh!:

[Keelbuster]

Sweet Justice...good job Kaleun! One less HK group to worry about!

[Tiny]

Nice work

But how come the torp in the front did not dud?


Myself I got knights cross with oak leaves swords and diamonds and have not sunk a single ton of warship hardware..:)

[Kpt. Kozloff]

Magnetic detonators set on. And damage looks that cool 'cause of OB's Final Torpedo Damage Mod.:D

[Brag]

I love it! 5 DDs must be some sort of record. Well done :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:
I would have never dared.:roll:

[Zero Niner]

Yup, 'twas a brave thing to do. :up:

[Eagle Eye]

Thats some huge marbles ye got on ya:up:

And job well done Ive run into a simaliar group which reported as a task force but was all DD's

[Kpt. Kozloff]

Thanks a million for your comments mateys, means a lot.:up:

P.s. I remember playing SH2, and being haunted by HMS Glowworm and HMS Bulldog veeeeery often, right now it's payback time and papa's got a brand new boat!
:arrgh!:

[17thcpikeman]

Well done great result for your bravery. as the message says "Keep up the good work" :p :rock: :up:

[GT182]

Great work, that'll show em. :up:

:hmm: If a pilot downs 5 enemy a/c, he's an Ace. So Kpt. Kozloff, I believe that would make you an Ace too. :D

Becareful next patrol. I'm sure they have your number and will be looking extra hard for your boat. ;)

[Corsair]

Nice story...:up: It takes some cojones to take on 5 DDs...
But on the other hand 9 torps for around 6000 tons is very expensive when you figure out how many tons you get for that number of torps on freighters...

[CaptainAsh]

actualy destroyer are the only purpose of magnetic pistol :)
