:D Hi everone :D
Today I had a lucky patrol ( it was my 2nd patrol ) in April 1940 .
I started a new career today , and my choice was to start in 1940 :yep:
And I finished my regular update ( 5days) to " Uberleutnant z.s." ,
And when I was finished with that , it was April 1st .
So it wasn't difficult to pick out Narvik area for my next patrol :)
Bdu sent me to Grid-AN52 for 24hrs , and I go where ever Bdu send me .
When I finished that one I rushes up to Narvik . And waited :cool:
When the night April the 12th arrived , my officer yelled "warships ahead !!!"
It was dark wery dark , and rain and fog , so I raised my periscope , and right in front of me , 513 mtrs away , the " HMS Nelson " :p I sent away 3 torps , and down she goes . Those destroyers begin hunting me , so I dived to 142 mtrs .
I turned the nose west , and out of the fjord I go ( 2knts )
When I was out of the fjord the weather is getting better so I surfaced , and reloaded the tubes . I desided to heading home , I was right out of Trondheim when my watch officer says warships closing . The task force was west of me , I took a chance and ordered "full speed ahead", and it was almost morning the clock was 4,
they didn't noticed me poor souls:cool: And it was a task force with 6 destroyers , and 1 Southampton class , and a "Illustrious class Aircraft carrier:o and I fired 4 torps and dived 140 mtrs and listened . Yeah ! Down she goes also . so I managed to get away , and I surfaced again and reloaded .Now it was bright daylight . And I was heading home when I noticed another taskforce , containing 4 destroyers , and 3 Southampton classes . I only had left one torp in the front , and one in my aft tube .So I ordered to fire one torp at the last Southampton , and crash dived ! Because they was so close . One explosion and she blowed sky high and sunk:p :p And I managed to getaway again:dead: And I arrived my homebase safely . Here I made a map for you to see , and maybe manage to sink those yourself:yep: :yep: Here you are :
