Liberty ships here, Liberties there. Bloody Liberties everywhere. Saw my first Liberty ship a few days ago. Sent it to the bottom with one torpedo in the normal grand Balz way. :smug:

The next bastard Liberty got a torp, same place, sure Balz kill spot. Assisted by aircraft , the beggar made it into Gibraltar.

It took two torpedoes to sink the next Liberty. What in the bloody hell is the matter, have I sunk all the good oldie large Brit. freighters? Not only these stinking 7K tonners are lousy for tonnage earned but refuse to sink.

In Tanker Alley, what do I find? Instead of tankers, two blinking Liberties. It took 5 torpedoes and 12 hours to sink the sumbithies!

The Americans wouldn't give me a visa so I could take my choir to sing on Broadway. Now they send this Liberty crap across the ocean. What does it mean. What does it mean, I ask?

I think it means you better go over to the US and sink them before they get close to England...that is what I think...

I sink L-ships with one hit at about 1/4 of ships length from the bow to the stern. They take their time to sink in GWX but I assume this is because flooding takes its time.

I think the allies have started a successful counter-Balz-tactic. Send oh-so-many junk ships and bore him to death....
:rotfl:

I for myself will become very nasty in my careers starting with mid-42. My personal vendetta is to kill the hunter-killer-groups, the more the better. :arrgh!:
I still need to learn how to shoot down the whole RAF coastal command :hmm:
maybe GWX 1.04 will give me ample opportunity to train :lol:

It seems like the Allies are sending these so called Liberty ships (more like auxillary destroyers to me), to annoy Balz so much, that he gives up command of U-boats and goes to a desk job.

2747 to go, if I understand Cpt. Balz after action report correct...

Ok, here we go:

Upper deck, all hands attention, ready for departure
engine room, stand by to answer bells in 10 minutes
navigator, plot course to the open sea
1WO, report combat readiness in 9 minutes
