Got my first GWX 2.0 BB!

[WilhelmSchulz.]

I was cruising in Grid Square CG 88 and my lookouts spoted a fast moving DD. A moment later they saw a BB and a CL. There was a KGV a Revenge, and 2 Fijis. I Launched all my foward fish at the KGV(HMS Rodney) set for magnetic, 1 meter under the keel. All 4 fish hit. She went down and I got away after 5 minits of cat and mouse with a DD.

I`am not trying to say anything its just a question;)

What your realism settings?
For me its very hard to aim properly agains the battleships because they usualy travel very fast.:gulp:

[looney]

I just downed a Revenge with 2 torps. The other 2 where launched at HMS Hood. They missed.

100% realism (I'm using OLC GUI) But I must add I had only 80m below the keel... realised that to late ;) I love early war DD

Congratahoochies on the BB! Welcome to the club of great ship sinkers. IF you follow my brilliant example, you will become a great Kaleun. :smug:

What month/year was that in Scapa? I just snuck in there on Jan 5, 1940 and only found destroyers and some merchants.(sunk 2 DDs and a tanker). Nothing nice like a carrier though.

I also sank a BB, 3 fish into HMS Hood, docked "safely" in port on Sept. 3, 1939 :)

Has BBW turned into harbour raider? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

In my current carrer in GWX2.0 I'm on my fourth patrol. I've encountered the HMS Hood on 3 of the patrols so far. First time it was Hood and Repulse, 3rd patrol it was Hood only, this time Hood and Revenge. This is in 39-40 and those early war destroyers aren't much help for escort. The hardest part is getting into attack postion on a target that fast.

Looks it, must be all those pep pills. :lol:

Was a hunch based on the Swordfish
Managed to get impaled in a subnet
That I put there :roll:

Dont usually raid ports
At least I know the defences need more work

12-2-1939
I also got my first BB with GWX2.0 I came into a convoy, 16 ships in all, 1 C&D class, BB revenge, then the rest miscellaneous merchants, 2 being ore ships and 1 a whale factory ship. Fired all 4 forward torps at revenge (Ps this is night time) 1st hit the bow, 2nd hit right below the B turret, Lots of explosions and my crew yelled "shes going down!!" so possibly a magazine hit?!!! The other 2 torps also found their mark. After watching the beautiful explosions I dove to about 80 meters. the destroyer didnt put up much of a search, I rose back to periscope depth just to see the DD crossing in front of me range about 830, Fired the 1 forward torp that reloaded, It struck right in the bow, and the DD steamed away at 28knots, but then sunk a few minutes later. That left the rest of the convoy for me to get at. The worst part was the reloading, because the crew was fatigued and refusing to work. Also since I was in rough seas I couldnt use my gun.

Total out come:
1 c&d DD = 1375 tons
1 BB Revenge= 31000tons
1 small freighter= 2228tons
1Whale Factory=12016
1 Intermediate tanker 3489 tons
1 Ore carrier = 8084 tons
1 Damaged ore carrier ( stupid thing didnt sink!!!)
Total 58192tons,
100% realism, The rough seas contributed to the some of the merchants sinking with just 1 torp. My best patrol ever! BOy was i ever surprised to see the BB in smack dab in the middle of that convoy, at first I thought it was misidentified, or a glitch, and I couldnt believe it when I got actually got credit for it!

I starded my career in 1943 with a sub that u must go TOOO far to go for ur mission(realism 00 just i starded to play the game).The missionm it was about to go to GR 85 but i confused it iwht BB or something and i was going with 1024xand then suddenly 4 destroyer came i spotted them wiht my :ping:.I went 13 depth and i DD came to ram me i launch a tor and there she goes down,these was happend 3 times.Then i spotted a a aircraft carrier i surface and hit it with the 88 gun.then i saw that i was going at wrong way and i quit the mission.I saw that with these sub u must go to far away and to escape from a dog that might got hit or hetr bored to go out from it and then i delete my carrer.
