Right in the thick of it being shot at left right and centre in a convoy at night in late 1940 and I spot H.M.S Nelson +3000 fired a spread of torps then crashed dived. After seven hours of cat and mouse, finally I was in the clear came up for a breath of fresh air and checked the log. Bloody heck I sunk my first big warship in GWX.

It's oceanblue's damage mod. I suffered internal damage and hull was down to 46% but no major flooding, moderate flooding only.

Yessssss this is a good feeling. I caught a carrier task force off Norway in '41. I was in a very poor spot; I was already lagging behind and there was about 3-4,000 metres between us. I saved and reloaded so many times, each time firing a fan shot of all four fish at the flattop.

About the seventh try two of them found their mark: bagged HMS Illustrious! :up:

Not long to go I think Salamis opens Early '42. Good luck if you can survive that long.
