My lucky day

[downunder]

Well there i was on my attack run through a British convoy, sank 3 C2 cargo's before i attracted the attention of the escorts. As they were bearing down on my position i thought maybe i should dive deeper than periscope depth. I then remembered people saying dont change depth while they are searching for you so i stayed at periscope depth. Well a cat and mouse game started with me doing 1kt and trying to creep away, no luck as i had been detected. I was busy hanging on as my boat was being D/C by two escorts when suddenly it stoped. I went to external veiw to see the Luftwaffe had come to my aid and started attacking the escorts. I thought this was my lucky day, But i think ill buy a lottery ticket when i get back to port as when i looked at my boat underwater this is what i saw.

Well well...those boys from Luftwaffe they cant be out of trouble for to much time... :lol:

Good work!

looks like the fly boys bailed you out. I have never seen such a display of force...
consider yourself lucky... and you proved "the old man" wrong. Goering does send planes... once in a while :lol:

Bah, the flyboys were probably too drunk to stay at the airfield.

Stupid Goering, can't he figure out that we need more boots?

At least they did you a favour! Most of the time they show up and rob me of a mechant that I had already damaged and was about to finnish off!:stare:

You must have been in shallow water to come across the mines! Were you in the English channel by any chance?:hmm:

I was in grid BF 28, it was the first time i had ever seen a mine before. Do they catch people out very often? and are they only in shallow water?

[A Very Super Market]

BF is the Bay of Biscay! Are you saying that you almost ran into your own mines?

[downunder]

WHAT, they were my mines!! I had just left the port of Brest 5 hrs earlier, when i ran into a british convoy.

If its off the coast of England, they are British.

If its not....file a complaint to Doenitz
