:cry: Bye bye Kaluen Hubert Ammann and U-732 are no more. Well they left on January 17 from Brest, very slowly crawling to my grid in AK13 which they never reached. I swear the Brits are turning the Atlantic into a permanent airshow!!! :nope: Well on those long submerged periods I did some chores, cleaned my bathroom and toilet. :lol:

I actually found a lone tommie large cargo maybe a straggler who spotted me before I dove, called air support, and was weaving so much and caused us to waste two torpedoes. I loaded 2 TIs to replace which may have had consequences.

About 40 hours away from my grid, still diving constantly from RWR warnings, I got contact details of 2 !!!! outgoing convoys and I was smack on the path of one of them. I patiently waited, submerged to 40M silent running when we detected radar emissions from the escorts and slipped through the screen. Fired at 2 vessels, a liberty cargo and a medium tanker with my 2 TIs, and the TIII and TIII FAT. Let loose my Falke at one of the escorts (all Castle or Buckleys :damn:) who was actually too far :damn: .

I started to dive and got a hit....and then much later another hit (my FAT I suppose) but got into the death circle, I guess my TI wakes were spotted? This was early morning just before sunrise. To cut to the chase after 1/2 hour chase with 4 escorts I got serious flooding in the 2 forward compartments which filled with blue and the crew could not pump the water out. Used up all compressed air to no avail..it was really sickening to watch.

U-732 got to about 500 M before crushing !!! .. the escorts heard implosion sounds and noted a slick on the sea. Two ships in the convoy were damged but managed to keep up with the convoy and reach New York safely.

U-732 got 4 merchants and 1 warship for 39079 tons and 7 patrols.

I think I'll go to a smaller sea next career, Black Sea and be near the biggest land war ever, or the Med with its nice weather and good food and wine. :arrgh!:

U-52, patrol 5, March '40 returning from mid Atlantic. Low on fuel, provisions. No ammo except for flak.
112,000 tons for the patrol. Started with with sinking an Aux. Cruiser at Scapa Flow (I was looking for the Illustrious, but intel screwed up). Happily sinking merchants as we headed south, we never reached our patrol area. Made contact with a large convoy, though only one forward and two aft torps left, decided to attack.:arrgh!:
The only escort turned out to be a poorly armed Aux. Cruiser at the back of the convoy. :nope: U-52 pentrated the convoy and waited for the Cruiser. Final forward torp directly into its forward magazine= unprotecteted convoy.:up:
U-52 surfaced and using the deck gun, took out larger merchants and tankers working from the back, forward to avoid collisions. Seven ships downed before we ran out of useful Ammo.:damn:

Will call into our supply ship in Spain on the way north, have now opened orders and will attempted to assist in operations off Norway.:smug:

First 100,000 patrol (80% reality).

Headed to CF31, sighted a large tanker and a freighter. Two fish into the tanker plus deck gun for both ships. Sunk. Proceeding to Freetown, picked up a cargo/passenger liner in ET21, 3 torps and sunk. Running total at 11,762 (pathetic) tonnes and noticing a disturbingly large amount of Warship traffic heading to and from Freetown.

My tonnage is still an abysmal levels around the low 10-15K totals for a patrol. I need some decent targets.

That's not a bad tonnage. I used to be happy as a bug to get over 20K per patrol. Only recently I started getting big tonnage regularly.

Oberleutnant Friedrich Decker and the surviving U 303 crew are all sitting in a Tobruk jail waiting for Herr Rommel to show up with the Panzers then it's back to the war, we're keeping up our spirits by calling it extended shore-leave :-?

[mookiemookie]

It is with a heavy heart, but a warm sense of nostalgia that I make my return to the icy seas of the Atlantic.

Waiting for a 1.3 patch for SHIV has got me longing for the days of my trusty Type IX and the fun I had as a Kaleun instead of a Skipper. I want to love SHIV, but the bugs just kill the immersion for me. Until the radar and convoy AI are fixed, I have to put it down. Too bad. It's a friggin beautiful game.

Look out, der Amerikaner und der Englisher...Herr Kaleun Mookie is back on the hunt! :arrgh!:

Welcome back, Mookie!
Check out the Happy Hunting Grounds thread, buy everyone a drink and set sail --we have a war going on here. :up:

[nedwreck]

Early '42, here. Just got ordered to patrol DD50, which doesn't exist. Maybe Bernard got a job at Headquarters after I ran him off my boat.
So I went out and sank stuff anyway and returned to L'orient. Enjoyed playing with the new 3.7 AA gun. It works a treat on sailboats. =) Too bad the rate of fire stinks.

U-52 returned to Wils after two months away. Patrol 6 started from Spain, and arrived to support the Norway Op. Just in time to sink HMS Nelson and shake the ten DD escorts. 82,000 tons for the patrol. Patrol 7 started poorly with the CE failing to return from leave, and an assigned patrol north of Aberdeen in 80m of water. Still. We have a job to do. Intercepted a heavily escorted convoy and hit 4 merchant, sinking 3. Could not shake one of the DDs. They finally ran out of DCs. But as the weather improved I could not loose it, at 80m I was easy to pick up. This was a good captain & crew. I came up and fired torps, but they were sooo easy to see in a calm sea, and they avoid all but one, which went under! Many hours later, and much fish-tailing, we lost him. 8600 tons to our credit, but two torps left. U-52 survives, but the enemy is improving! June 1940. No more shallow attacks for us, not mater what the orders...

This is a good patrol for me, I am making full use of my deck gun this patrol. As most of the ships I come across are just floating bathtubs with cargo. Some are just plain not worth a torpedo. So its good I get to use the guns.

shooting accurately in winds of 7 meters per second though is a little more challenging. lol
I wait till the boat is going down on the waves before I fire the gun, then use the upward ride on the waves to reload, then when down fire again. Much cheaper and easier than firing torpedoes. I also blast with my flak as well, just for more speed of sinking. I am really saving on torpedoes this patrol as normally I don't get much chance to use my deck gun.

The deckie can help a lot in getting good tonnage until late 1940. Then, the tubs begin to get guns of their own. I had a nasty surprise when a troop transport doing 17 knots opened up on me with several guns including flack on 07 October 1940. Got severely damaged. :rock:

Thanks Brag.

You've got to love this game.

There is often a VERY fine line. U-52 has specialised since Sept 39 in long range attacks in shallow water. No problems, and big tonnage. :arrgh!: Then June 40 - I guess the game threw in a better quality escort with better technology. Even so, U-52 was still in the clear, until one tiny mistake on the part of Kapitanletnant Klos caused the tail end DD to take a look. Result - U-52 has to come up for air sometime - and those guns cause damage even at PD (as it turned out).:oops:
Been feeling happy to make it home with 40k tonnage.:|\\
That time we were just happy to make it home.:hmm:

Last night carried out an attack on a convoy just outside of Gibralter. Shadowed it by day, upon night we moved in on the surface. Used the Uzo to line up, then due to the presence of a black swan dived to PD to carry the attack, success.

took out a 13,000 ton large merchant, and a 10,500 ton Large Cargo. Bringing my patrol tonnage now up to 37,000.

Searchlight got our periscope, time to go deep fast, cutting a long story short after getting shook about like a rag doll we were able to slink away. Still need to go to our patrol area.

Clear through Gibraltar straight and into the Med! Must certainly come back here when there is more traffic about, is rather quiet in Jan 1940. Picked up 3 ships heading through, Small Freighter, Medium Cargo and a tramp steamer. 1 torp for the Freighter, 2 for the Cargo and deck gun fire to sink the tramp and wounded freighter. Not bad for a first night in the med. Picked up a Large Passenger/Cargo ship that I mis-identified as a troop ship. Fired 2 torps causing them to slowly sink, then I realised it was a Spanish Passenger ship....whoops. Headed further into the med, sunk a small merchant with one torp and a few rounds of the deck gun before heading to CO42 while reloading the torpedo tubes with the last of the eels.

On the way back to Willi shortly in my V11B, 66% Hull Int. May/June 1940. Patrol 6.

Spent a week east and north of Scapa, but the swordfish eventually came in packs of about 6 and a single 20mm was not enough to keep them at bay forever while I recharged batts. Sadly, lost my flak gunner (RIP Matey) after he downed about 9 of them, and a Hurri. Concentrated on the C2 and C3 with single torps and deckie to finsih, also a couple'a small merchs. Managed to get 7 cargos.

Went on to patrol of north-east Ireland (AM44 I think?) and clouted a few more smaller clankers, and a single V and W. On trip back with only 5 torps left ran straight into a big convoy just north of AM52, heading ESE about 5 knots !!! Only 3 neutrals at the back of convoy. Unfortunately the weather is lovely (clear, 5 m wind, no fog)

Only 1 DD escort, and thats now in Davy Jones Locker - but it took 2 eels, and he hit me also with 1 or 2 rounds from his guns. Was running on surface, very slow - and watch didn't see him until at 3km! Badly damaged topsides - but all repairable, with time, except flak gun.

But now have an unprotected CONVOY! Have 3 eels left and about 65 rounds of 88mm - so proceeeding to try and despatch the 2 T2's, 'cos they're usually 1 shot only, and as many of the C2's as I can manage before running out of ammo.

Will report in later..... if possible, as going back thru' the channel for fun!
Happy Hunting,

2. April 1942, Eastern Med:

16 days out of Salamis - heading towards patrol objective SSE of Sardinia - stumbled into a single Small Merchant in CO55 (NW of Tobruk) and scored my first one-shot kill - picked up a contact on 15 nm due N and ordered flank to intercept - a Large Merchant escorted by a Flower class and a V&W class was engaged in foul weather - a spread of 3 fish took care of the merchant and since the Flower class passed my UZO they are now swimming with the fishes - did some deep-dive escape & evasion excercises with the V&W to condition the rookie crew and finally slipped away.

The deck-chairs are out, I have my "leeder-hosen" on and a chilled bottle of "Paderborn" in my hand, so the memories of the Noth-Atlantic gales are far away.

12. April 1942, Wester Med:

Spilled my beer on my new "leederhosen" when the lookout reported a Warship contact on bearing 026, distance 2,5 NM - we just came out of the worst storm in the Med for centuries (15+ m/sec and heavy rain for 2 weeks!) so i forgive the look-outs for not spotting them earlier - the Warship is a Southampton class and it turns out that it's the rear-guard of a CUNARD LINER escort - I have only 3 eels left, one T4 (acoustic "homing" torpedoes) loaded in the bow tube, one regular in the stern tube and one spare in the aft reserve (could have used that fish I wasted on the Flower class) - I order flank speed and 20 degree port rudder to get out of range and then set a parallel course to intercept - the look-out reports another contact: a Swan class makes up the second ship of the escort - to make a long story short: I get in a reasonable firing position (~2300 yards) and fire 3 & 5 against the CUNARD - the T2 is a dud (explodes 1/2 way) and the T4 is not really moving, so I zoom in on the attack map, and to my horror I discover that it is indeed moving: it's turning around and heading home :) - a few minutes later I'm hit by my own torpedo followed by a couple of direct hits from the Southampton class or the DD ...LOL

Edit: I don't normally reload saves when things don't go my way, but this time I reloaded and tried again: nailed that CUNARD with one fish and got away to tell the tale ... 39,000 tons to add :)

U-24, IId, returns to base after her 13´th patrol. At Jan 4´th we had a field day together with the Luftwaffe south of Kertch. In an six hour long battle the enemy lost 2 small tankers, 1 small passenger liner, 1 passenger/cargo, 1 tramp steamer and 1 coastal tanker:rock: We got awarded for 1 small tanker and the tramp, but had hits on the other small tanker and the pass/cargo too. In all it was four different convoys passing the same area in the afternoon. Several ships limped on burning while the escorts fired their AA guns and dropped Dc´s:rock: At least two Stukas was seen going down in flames, but thats a low price for that result. At least we got some back on the Ruskies:up:

[KPII]

5. October 1940, Tanker Alley

Just had my first successful large convoy attack and the most amazing spread.

In my previous convoy attacks I've been approaching from 45 degrees a beam, surfaced - increase to flank speed when near visul detection range - dive, kill the engine and drift into a distance of approx. 1 nm. This doesen't work for me in SHIII as the ASDIC picks me up every time.

This time I tried a different tactics and approached from close to 90 degrees a beam - expected to miss the convoy, but after having evaded the flank escort I found myself between the two nearest columns - a little too close for comfort! I had the weather in my favour and due to a few miserable convoy attacks I decided to take my time and get some proper firing solutions programmed instead of the rush jobs I've done earlier. I select a Medium Tanker and a Large Merchant (a C-2?) for my two spreads and down-periscope to do my calculus. When I'm ready I raise periscope with my finger on the trigger and sweaty palms - when moving the scope back to the Medium Tanker I spot the "HMS Nelson". This is the first time I have a Battleship in my sights, so I decide that it at least deserves a try, even though it's a poor AOB and almost 2500 meters. I fire a two torpedo spread at the Tanker, one fish at the Large Merchant and swing the periscope around to fire one T-II set for magnetic detonation at the Nelson. For good measure I fire tube 5 at an Ore Carrier directly on my 6 at 800 yards.

All my fish hits their targets except one - it passes the tanker and scores a one-shot kill on a Medium Merchant! The Nelson and the Tanker are also one-shot kills, the C-2 sinks later on and the ore carrier get's it in the rudder, but continues. I walk away with 50,000 tonnes for the costs of 5 torpedoes!

U-123

Been following and attacking large convoy for 3 days. Tonight, calm seas, full moon.

Got to intercept point after dark. Convoy approaching with some nice targets. Could not see any escorts. Was about to fire at a large merchant 1200 meters away.

Ping, ping, ping. Out of nowhere a destroyer barrelled toward us 500 meters away.
Full speed ahead, dive!. 20 Degree turn toward Destroyer.

While still with periscope above water the chart update still did not show the destroyer.

The first DC salvo barelly missed. Pretty soon, the destroyer had its buddies around me, dropping charges like unwanted garbage.

It took over 3 hours to shake off these buggers

Has anyone else had a similar experience with DD's not showing on the update on a clear night?:shifty:

Have also seen a lot of our Italian Allies' ships get bombed to smithereens by RAF Coastal Command planes flying out of Malta, which is annoying because Malta really isn't big enough to store 2 whole wings of Wellington bombers, assorted hurricanes, loads of Catalinas and so many Sunderlands that I'm wondering whether the guys in the atlantic are seeing any planes at all :nope:

Sorry to hear that Brag. Oh so close! Good to to see that U123 is safe to sail again :D

U52's long range attacks have been a work in progress. I used to be an up-close sort of captain. This attack was on a calm, clear night. The enemy would likely spot us anything under 2km, and if I got too close the returning escort would be on the open side of my retreat. Long range shots - two to a ship and I was gone on the surface before the first strike ;)
Get your timing wrong and the first strike starts a zig-zag and the other target gets off lightly:88)

U-46 Fresh out of Subschool Leutnant z s Hans Brix in command

Decided to do a shakedown cruise in the Ostsee
went to see what was happening in Gdynia and Hel and Danzig

lots of Polish merchants and only 2 active warships, a good first training engagement for the crew. after torpedoing the warships I sank them all with the deckgun!
After that I went through the kattegat and Skagerrak in heavy storm, decided to hang out off Aberdeen and give patrol area AL36 a miss.
Lots of British shipping there, sunk lot off small steamers, a medium cargo, a tugboat and a schooner, by then it got a little hairy what with planes and destroyers and such.
Went a bit further north between Orkneys and Shetlands.
Sunk another 2 ships a tramp steamer and a large merchant

returned home to Kiel on 27 september 39

gave the crew quite a shakedown :D

Started new campaign after my old U-123 was sunk by destroyers in Liverpool Bay.Back again in October 1939,and again with Type IXB U-123,2nd Flotilla.

Currently in base at Wilhemshaven after my first patrol.5 ships sunk and 39888 tonns so far.:)

U-46 Oblt z.s. Hans Brix reporting 17 Oktober 39 0600 grid BF25

Passed through Dover strait on the way to AM79, lots of torpedo boats, came through on the surface on a calm clear but moonless night, no real hassle if you stick to the French side about 6nm off Calais, did not engage shipping in Dover Channel.
Cut a path of destruction through merchant shipping all the way from Brighton to the Scilly Isles, have dived 6 times to avoid Hurricanes, have been fired upon only once, no damage. Proceeded west submerged during day, on surface at night

9 merchant vessels sunk so far

Have received report of large convoy heading west from st George's channel, have 5 eels left for forward tubes, intent is to acquire convoy and shadow until well outside allied air cover, then attack and return to base by sailing around Scotland

[Brag]

Good Work , useful info and good plan. :up:

[KeptinCranky]

Heh,
U-46 reporting in

I missed that convoy...

I used my last eels on a Whaling Factory south of Ireland, but since the weather was nice and calm I decided to continue on to patrol area AM79, I still had 207 rounds for the deckgun after all.

continued northward after my 24hours in AM79 were up, sank a large merchant off the Hebrides with about 20 rounds, continued around scotland, got badly bombed (see screenshot thread) but soldiered on, sunk 2 more small ones with the Gun, went past Scapa on the way to Kiel

Sunk a medium cargo in AN43 then ran into another Large Merchant, this took the last 35 rounds and all the remaining AA ammo, it stopped dead but didn't sink so I decided to not wait it out, gave it a 17 knot bump with the bow, that didn't help or so I thought :nope:

was Barreling toward it again at 17knts when I get the she's going down, had to slam on the reverse and left full rudder so as to not damage the boat any further, that worked (barely) :oops:

returned to Kiel 1 november of 39 with 70k tons (mostly small merchants) one dead sailor and 68% hull (they didn't tell me that until I got home) got an Iron cross for my efforts (the crew got a lot more)

No dud torpedoes at all, one tramp steamer that wouldn't sink and had Elco's crawling all around it in der Kanal and one bad miss (speed setting stupidity on my part)

all in all a good patrol for this Gung-ho Kaleun

Started a new type IX career U-64 this time in order to get good contact reports for BDU Canovaro

8-12-40
Engaged a slow northbound convoy west of Ireland sank their Southhampton Cruiser, a medium cargo, 2 large cargos a large merchant and a smal merchant in 3 successive attacks in one night not bad tonnage if I do say so myself, after that the weather turned nasty all the way to my patrol area AD88, got there, encountered a ship on the way in thick fog, heard it on hydrophone and intercepted, turned out to be a hospital ship. :damn:
17-12-40
Have finished my 24 hours, am now going to loiter just south of Reykjavik hopefully catch some lone merchants.
we won't be home for christmas though, the crew doesn't like it much, neither do I but there's still a war on.:-?

now we've got to chip the ice off the conning tower again.....:doh:

U-123
11 May 1941

0001 hrs. The day started perfectly. Torpedo treffer! Sank three ships with five torpedoes fired. Escorts did not bother us. :cool:

We left Lorient on 21 April did not have a single contact in transit and were stooging around 400 kms NW of Freetown hoping to intercept a convoy. Our position was almost perfect when we got report of large convoy, intercept point only 4.5 hours steaming at 10 knots.

We attacked at midnight then followed for an attack at dusk.

The second attack went even better. We attacked at dusk. Launched 4 torpedoes, sank 2 tankers and one large freighter. Tonnage for these 24 hours 78,000. Too bad can't catch convoy before midnight for a 100k day :-?

Also sent first report to BDU Conavaro.

U-52, October 1940 Patrol 11 out of Lorient
2 new officers due to transfer. Veteran crew of 41 (U52 uses 4x Officers and 13x Petty Officers).
Patrol off southern Ireland. Never saw a merchant:nope: 20 days at sea and only corvettes and destroyers (not ours!). Malfunctioning right diesel engine affected range and speed. Perservered..
Attempted to sink a Town Class but was spotted at the last moment and had to go deep to avoid DCs. Right propeller destroyed. Max speed on surface 10 knots:down:
Returned to base. 0 Tons for patrol, only fired one torp...
Frustrating. We were hoping to add to our 603,000 tons to date :|\\ .
However, got repaired and ready for Patrol 12 to same area. But our planesman leading seaman got drunk and never made the boat before sailing.
who could blame him:rotfl:

U-124 reports. 17-02-1943

after leaving Lorient to destination i-dont-know-where-since-i never-partrol-assigned-areas i decided to go through the channal again...

we spotted a C&D DD and i ordered to fire at it with the deck gun. our deck gunner is a real pro and has already all medals (even the KC). but due some previous transfers i lost all 5 officers... promoted 5 petty officers to officers :up:

so far so good.
will update soon

edit: somthing isnt right with our deck gunner... he seems to dislike the new recrutes...
we'r half through the channal and gonna dock at cherbourg... lost 3 of the best crew members after a elco attack. gonna give them 1 minute silence

U-64 just returned to Lorient from AD88
patrol lasted from 6-12-1940 to 9-1-1941
Did not encounter any Icebergs spent christmas submerged in grid AL drinking the remaining schnapps :()1:

spent nearly the whole trip back underwater because of heavy storms.
Sank 60k tons of merchants and HMS Birmingham a CL (served her right for hiding in a convoy instead of barreling along at 25 knots like cruisers are supposed to)

Got promoted to OBlt zs but no medals because we lost a crewman overboard while chipping ice off the hull just south of Reykjavik. observed and heard several small craft near Iceland sink in the terrible weather, 3 elco's and a rescue launch. was unable to pick up survivers due to storm and cold.

U-123
12 May 1941

Spent all torpedoes on northbound convoy from Freetown. Wasted 5 torpedoes on a bothersome Black Swan that keept popping up and forcing me to dive. Nevertheless got 106K tons.

ETA Lorient 20 May.

[zarj]

I've become a bit on an anti-escort specialist in the last few weeks. Its 1943 and you can practically walk from Lands End to New York on the decks of corvettes, sloops and destroyers without getting your feet wet.

I have decided to perform a service for our comrades by removing as many of them from the surface of the Atlantic as possible. Picking off the escorts makes the convoy attack easier (and the escape afterwards) and the IXC has plenty of eels.

There is muttering in the messdecks about this change in strategy and my other tactic of staying on the surface to destroy any attacking aircraft but I've got a Luger to enforce disipline amongst the crew.

I don't expect we'll live for ever but we will die taking the fight to the enemy and not slinking away with our tails between our legs.

Death or glory!

London, 30 June 1941 (Reuters).

A panicky buzz spread to Lloyd's and other shipping circles as rumours reached London that U-123 known also as Herr Frogg and commanded by tonnage millionaire Heinz Bucher has left its liar in Lorient to commit further depradations against allied shipping.

During a phone interview, Captain Walker RN stated, "We're going to get the bastard."

No cargo sighted yet. No planes either. Met a bunch of taskforces though. Unable to engage. The crew is getting restless. Made visual contact with U-boat this afternoon, sailed up together a bit. No contacts.

Bernard even plotted a course towards Tobruk, that is until he unfortunately tripped on the deck :shifty:

weather has been nicely calm all the way, hopefully we'll find a juicy convoy and if we do well enough we'll be home for Christmas, surely the war will be over by then.:hmm:

On a brighter note, U-69 Type VIIc has joined the fight from Jan 1941, having had an extensive refit and recrew. Some time spent training to use the new targeting system (have now gone to manual targeting). :damn:

Patrol 1 off Freetown. Only got as far as Cadiz for a resupply. 6 ships sunk for 47,000 tons. Sank a C3 in a heavily escorted convoy with 2 Torps from 2500m :smug: and later penetrated the convoy to attack again and :o missed a ship from 300m :rotfl:

I loaded up my old trusty IXB campaign.

April 1944 - Holy smokes, U-123 barely got out of Brest! :huh: Shot down a Hudson and a Mosquito Tetse though :)

Made it to the ocean, and there are lots of planes. Unfortunately, to make matters worse, my transfer to Penang is FUBAR. It became my homebase :damn: I cannot upgrade at Brest or any other port it seems.

I am refuelling at U-488 in the DF quadrant, then it's decision time. I can't make Penang, that's for sure. BDU will be pissed :rotfl:

[KeptinCranky]

There should be a couple of tankers in the Indian ocean somewhere near madagascar and mauritius, although the allies did send a taskforce to take those out at some point. I suggest you check the GWX manual, I think you might still be able to get to Penang.

but to go in a IXb is stretching its capabilities:-?

Ay, there were two refueling tankers there. The 'Brake' is still there, unfortunately, I'll never get there. It'll be gone on the 11th of March, it's the 27th of February '44 and I'm off the shoulder of Spain.

Trying to pick up a London - Sierra Leone convoy before refueling at U-488 (that'll be there until april - so if I try for Penang, I'll have max fuel, until the last drop).

I know everything about conserving fuel, I have a feeling I can just make it, but it's hard to include the submerged/battery kilometers into my plan. Ofcourse those do not consume diesel.

I can't upgrade, and there's no changing flotilla either ofcourse.
It's really weird, but I also like this 'bug', it has this end-of-the-war-hopelessness in it :huh: :arrgh!:

it may not be strictly strategically sound to sink it but the propaganda value shouldn't be underestimated, the Tommies think that thing is the bee's knees and nigh invincible.
sinking it with a puny uboat that's even cheaper to construct is a major coup.

nevertheless I still think Mohr is nuts, but the U-bootwaffe needs his special kind of lunacy, makes the rest of us look relatively sane:D

Visibility was 400 meters most of the time. So my kills were mostly manual at 0 gyro angle. The moment the target appeared on the scope set 5 degrees off center
hit the fire button. :smug:

Look out for those airplanes near Gib. The Ansons will attack at night, even in mid 1940!:roll:

U-64
26. May 1940
Oberleutnant z.S. Eicken

Fourth patrol. Approaching Wilhelmshaben after a month of storms and fog, we return in clear, calm weather. One large cargo sunk off Trondheim, one large cargo and two escorts sunk in a large convoy NNW of Lowestoft, position called in and returned to base after wasting a lot of torpedoes to weather, duds, 400m visibility and extremely shallow water. Sonarmann Günther claims at least one torpedo must have hit the seafloor - like the V destroyer did a bit earlier.

Our first destroyer kill. Worth a measure of smuggled whisky, that.
