When i played a mediterranean career in GWX i was saved by the luftwaffa from getting my sub crushed like an egg. Yesterday in GWX 2 in the same spot (South east of valleta and near an allied port) i stalked a lone merchant... i thought. I was at periscope depth at the time and my SO picked up a warship. I did a quick scan and saw the merchant going down. Not wanting to get into a battle with a destroyer i dedided to go deep when i was pinged. I increased speed and changed direction right as charges were dropped.

I then heard multiple splashes at once. I went to external cam and there were 2 stukas attacking the destroyer who was fighting back. One stuka went down. The depth charges began again and caused severe flooding in the stern. i was sinking. After the holes were fixed i went to periscope and saw the stuka doing a flyby over a sinking destroyer. Anyway sry for long post just wierd the same thing happened before around the same spot.

To answer the Captain's question in "Das Boot," there are our aircraft Herr Goering!:yep:
Buy those flyboys a drink when you get to port.
nice save!

BTW, did you use the radio to call in the contact report or did the Stukas appear by themselves?

I can never decide if I'm relieved or feel cheated when the Luftwaffe sink ships in my part of the pond :hmm:

No need to apologize. That was actually quite a short post.

And a good one.

From mowgli99's experience, I'd say that depends on whether they steal your kill or save your @$$.

Keep calling in them contacts, they will come. Eventually.

Way back in vanilla SH3, I stalked a convoy in the Kanal with France occupied. Now that was FUN :yep:
