I've been venturing up north as of late, doing my part to stop communism :cool:
On my way to Leningrad I ran into one of these guys, and boy, what a nice looking ship. I felt kinda bad about putting it down :(

(Try to ignore the giant hole below the bridge :cool:)
Unfortunately, it didn't go down, or even begin to list for that matter, so while I was admiring its ability to depth charge areas I was nowhere near (red circle is my actual location)...

Off topic, but on the way up, we spotted a rarity:

Pretty neat to see. This was my first patrol with the external camera enabled, so I spent a lot of time following the others ships around. I also got a great view of a couple suicidal German air raids. Unfortunately there was so much flak the planes were dumping their loads early...I started to worry that I would get hit by a short bomb or falling plane :nope:.
