On my way in early April 1940 to an area near Narvik Norway. This is my first mission in the Monsun mod. Cruising up the coast of Norway when my crew spotted a ship.
I tried to run ahead on a similar course but even at flank the distance was lessening. Worried about being seen I dove and took an intercept course still on flank.
I was lucky and ended up with a decent shot at about 800 meters with a Norway flagged merchant doing about 11 knots. A hit and the merchie immediately slowed to 1 knot making my second shot miss.
She limped along and I surfaced and put 30 rounds into her from the deck gun at a range between 500 and 600 meters - lots of damage but she hasnt sunk yet. I put a second torp into her side and over the next 30-45 minutes she settled and finally sunk.
It was neat that I could watch her settle and not just immediately go under. Lucky for me too no escorts - the weather was awful so no real worried about planes.
Neat mod. Well 1940 is still the good old days for the German sub force - right?
