OMG This is like... THE... single biggest sinking I have ever made in GWX or even in Silent Hunter III for that matter!

Picture the scene, its foggy, the sea is high at 15 meters per second. The Lookout spots a destroyer, then another, then another! Lo... whats this? A collossal silhouette in the middle!? An Illustrious carrier! OH MY WORD!!!

In we go, past the screen, past the shells, diving to periscope depth, Salvo for tubes 1-4. She shoots! She SCORES!! (3 outta 4) I musta hit some critical stuff cuz it sank like a brick by the arse end.

23,000 tons. I think the celebration banner needs to come out of retirement once again! Oh this is too stupendous for words, I gotta good feeling that I may be well on course for a 50k patrol (at least!!!):rock:

Oh yeah, thats right! I got away from 3 Destroyers hunting me! I am just brilliant! (and arrogant too! but hey!)

[d@rk51d3]

Congratulations!!! :up:

What a way to break the ice.
Drinks are on me.

[STEED]

To date I have not sunk one Aircraft Carrier. :oops:

Sunk seven Battleships. ;)

Sunk ten Passenger Liners. ;)



Well done on your first big kill. :rock: :up: :rock: :up:

[Penelope_Grey]

You better boogie off to my Knights Cross party, that party has been rocking for well over three days now. :sunny:

[_Seth_]

Well done!! :up::up:

[Alex]

Congratulations, miss. :cool:
Wish you good luck on your next patrols. http://yelims.free.fr/IPB/Invision-Board-France-545.gif:p

[Corsair]

Well done !! Attacking in this weather is a bit more difficult but makes the escape a lot easier... Every time I spot this kind of target it's either too far away and I can't catch up or I'm on the way home and out of torpedoes :cry:

[Penelope_Grey]

thankyou! I know this probably must be small potatoes to most of you, some probably sank half a dozen of them things, but, to me its monumental, its the biggest most impressive sinking I have ever made, and perhaps ever will make!

No small potatoes... Have been playing this sim for quite a while and I saw a couple of these babies but never had a chance to get a good shooting solution.

[Penelope_Grey]

I was extremely lucky, they were coming towards me, not too far away either, and even then I had to run flank ahead to get positioned, and when I did shoot it was not really a great shot at all. Not only that it brought all the destroyers in the TF over to me because of the noise my props were making. I still have 6 torps left. So fingers crossed I can do some damage with them.

[STEED]

Get that lady a cigar and a drink. :()1:

[AVGWarhawk]

That is a PHAT catch!!!:o :o :up: :up:

[Brag]

Outstanding! Except for the Graf Zepelin in Kiel, I haven't even seen a carrier. Congratulations. See ya at Steeds Party, which has been rocking for well over a week. :up: :up: :up: :up: Cigars are on me.

[GT182]

Penelope, I'll send the same to you as I did Steed, a nice Light Beer..... you too deserve the best. ~S!~

[Penelope_Grey]

oh dont you worryy abotu a thidng, iam cheirishing that ki;;!

[Kpt. Kozloff]

Congratulations Penny! That's surely a Knight's Cross catch.:up:

P.s. I haven't seen any carriers in my careers yet...:oops:

[Penelope_Grey]

Knights Cross... I already got one ;)

Im hoping for a better one when I get back now! :)

[P_Funk]

ONLY one carrier? What happened to the rest of the task force? You bloody women. You're RUINING the Kriegsmarine! I'll bet you had to use more than just a SINGLE torpedo.

When I sank my last carrier I just rammed it until she keeled over in a big whine of pain. Then I threw my binoculars at the nearest destroyer and it pinged into the smoke stack and jammed up the worked until rivets went flying EVERYWHERE and the ensuing hail of hardware destroyed the rest of them.

Then Jesus came down from heaven on a chariot of goat cheese and handed me an Iron Cross 18th class...

I think I've had too much coffee...


Brilliant job love. Keep up the good work. I still haven't bagged me a carrier yet. I saw one once but was sans torpedoes.:down:

But hey that is a nice bit of targeting in rough weather.

[Alex]

thank you! I know this probably must be small potatoes to most of you, some probably sank half a dozen of them things, but, to me its monumental, its the biggest most impressive sinking I have ever made, and perhaps ever will make!

Not at all, Penelope, everyone of us have been very happy after our first carrier/battleship sunk !!
To tell you the truth, I've been lucky one and only time : I was at periscope depth, when the sonarman detected 3 battleships at flank speed coming on my way :huh:. Luckily, I got them all : the Revenge, the Nelson, and I don't remember what was the third, that was my best tonnage patrol, I sunk something like 300.000 t. But I've been lucky to be at the right place at the right moment, on the way of this convoy.... :roll:
Most of the time it's about luck. :88) ;)
When I sink a battleship it's at Scapa Flow, most of the time, when I see a stationed one. :oops:

[azn_132]

PG, ur not alone not the CV kill, I have one too!

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m172/PS_gamelover/dsfgsdger.jpg

Encounter two carrier TFs at Harstad so I decide to take the closest TF which is one a CV and Two DDs, and other one have Two CVs, and a CL and a few DDs but I was too far to catch up wit them so I took this one.

[GT182]

Azn, it was a fitting name for a carrier that got it's self sunk.... Indefatigable. I think it's resting quite peacefully now, no more fatigue for her. LOL

[Brag]

Penny,
see what you have started? Carrier mania :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Well, at least it might distract some of the wanabee Scapa heroes :ahoy: Lesh go have a dwink,:arrgh!:

[xlbob]

Congratulation Penny. :up:

I never sink a carrier.

[kiwikapitan]

I sunk a Bogue once in similar conditions, was quite chuffed myself. :D

Well done PG! :up:

[OneTinSoldier]

I love the sound of torpedoes launching in the morning. Sounds like... Victory!

Congrats on the carrier. :)

Even though we're not to particular, we need heros! (sorry, just a little Das Boot joke :lol: )

[Der Kolkrabe]

Congratulations Penny :up:

I'm on my way now North of Norway coast ( May 1940 ), fog and rain... there is something going on ;)
Radio messages told fast warship traffic there... hope get something catch:hmm:

[Spray]

To date I have not sunk one Aircraft Carrier. :oops:

[robbo180265]

Congratulations Penelope:up:

Wasn't that long ago that you were about to give up because you couldn't sink anything. Glad you persisted?

Biggest I've bagged so far is a BB.

See you at Steed's party:sunny:

[AndyW]

Carriermania?

I don't know what game you're all playing, during 42 patrols and 926 days on sea I managed to meet ONE carrier west of Bergen (which I sunk with my tiny Type II D :D ).

Cheers,
AndyW

im at 1944 though mwuhahaha. Congrats Penelope.

[Penelope_Grey]

Thankyou, thankyou!

My brother sank a Revenge class in his IID as well. Lucky barstard!:rock:

That cake looks delish as well!

[Alexdk]

Congrats! An impressive kill in nasty weather! Only got me a battleship so far, and that was a nice non moving target in Scapa Flow.

Well done! Hope you got a nice juicy medal and promotion from that!

Bartender, get the kap'n a drink! :rock:

[nikbear]

What a result PG!I've got to early 1944 and I'm yet to see a carrier,you go girl:rock: :up:

[Dantenoc]

A smoke of a good victory cigar is in order. A small self endulgence as reward for such a fine feat. :up:

By the way, did kaleuns carry cigars on their boats? would they actualy smoke them while on board (cough cough, give me some fresh air please)?

Well, maybe you can chew on your victory cigar all day until you get a chance to surface in nice weather so you can enjoy it properly and peacefuly while up on the bridge? :arrgh!:

[kurtz]

Congrats, never even seen a carrier saw HMS Nelson once and put 5 torpedoes in her before she sailed out of chasing range!

[Enigma]

Ive been lucky enough to sink 3 carriers over 2 careers...never even seen a passanger liner.

[Jimbuna]

Congratulations PG :up: :arrgh!:

[Penelope_Grey]

I just made another attack on a convoy, got away by the skin of my teeth only. It was in the shallow waters, bottom depth from surface to sea bed. 169m... :O I only just got away I had two black swans chasing me. I conducted the majority of the attack on the surface but got spotted and forced under fired one last blast at Persicope depth and then off I went straight down, I was literally trying to beat the depth charges in a dive to the bottom, I managed it, I set depth for 161m and wiped some sweat of me forehead. lol

Convoy attack yielded in one swoop 16,000+ tons. I have 8 torpedoes left. Not too shabby. But its no aircraft carrier :(

I am looking for them!! Hopefully I can salvage an average patrol of 25k.

A smoke of a good victory cigar is in order.

For the carrier, absolutely I agree. Saturday and Sunday are my cigar days. :) Fridays I just have 3 menthol cigarettes which is today, got one ciggie left to go. I only smoke on weekends, so am not too bad.:|\\
