I searched the messages and did not see this one before so I thought I would post it. I was nearing the end of a successful career and traveling to the Malay Peninsula to do a photo recon of troop ships. I had to leave the room for a few minutes and when I came back I hear the message " we are under attack ". I quickly checked to see what I was up against when I see the message " enemy submarine" ! I thought it was a Japanese submarine and risking getting sunk, I zoomed in to grab some screenshots. Here she is guns ablaze...

While I was getting these pics he fired about 10 rounds and scored one hit, I quickly returned to my sub to return fire. I turned toward the enemy sub and with engines running full speed, I started firing at a range of about 3000. Within a few minutes I scored some direct hits and when I saw the message " she's going down" I zoomed in for some more pics.
Here she is going to the bottom in 1500 feet of water.

I followed her all the way, and finally resting on the bottom...

Here is the screenshot of the captains log, it was here that I realized it was a German Uboat.
