Deat fellow addicts, ahum, I mean gamers. :D
I recently took a Type IIA out of Constanta in mid-1943. Assigned patrol area Sea of Azov. New and exiting I thought.
South of the entrance I encountered a Soviet Tramp Steamer which I hit solidly under the smoke stack. I surfaced to watch the sinking. Just before the ship was going under a Heinkel 111 swoops down all guns blazing forcin me out of the way as I am in the firing lane as well. The Tramp Steamer takes a hit, goes down and...I get no credit.
Thanks a lot Herr Göring. :damn: I wont be sorry when they call you Meyer!!!
Passing through the Kerch Straits on the surface, though, I meet a convoy of a Small Tanker and a Troop Ship. Much needed fuel and some of our boys going home for a well deserved rest in the Fatherland, I guess. It is the middle of the night and I pass them at about 250 meters inside the channel. Then I see the Soviet flag. They are enemy and not friendlies.
As far as I know the Kerch Straits were German controlled mid-1943. Still there are Soviet ships going through there at will. Took away a bit of the realism for me there.
