Guten Abend, Kaleuns!
I absolutely love GWX. I fear an addiction is developing...
It's February 1943, and I'm in a IXC/40. On my post-patrol return to the North Atlantic milch cow, I thought I'd pay a not-so-friendly visit to Halifax, Canada. After sinking two large vessels totalling some 21000 tons (for a sortie total of over 46000 tons), I think the Canadians are little peeved, because there's 3-4 enemy warships trying to destroy me (including at least one destroyer). My mean course for escape is SE, and I've been manoeuvring while submerged (at periscope depth - depth under keel = 5 metres) from starboard to port and back at flank speed in this direction. Depth charging doesn't seem to be worrying me. However, I'm finding that I'm being rammed and sunk after about 3-5 minutes.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might be able to get out with a minimum of damage?
Cheers in anticipation!
