February 1940, the type VII boat U-69 patrolling north of scotland on the way back home, low on fuel and with only two rear torpedoes left, my watch spots a wake on the port side.
BRITISH SUBMARINE(en)! They say, quickly i spring into action and bring the boat into position for a perfect stern shot, high speed, surface, we'll get this tommie. Dive to periscope depth!
I than notice that the deck gun icon is still on on the top of the screen, so i hit the f5 key to bring them off of the deck before they get too wet, and sit and wait for this helpless U class to steam into my trap.
All of a sudden i hear *CRACK* (boom), my deck gun crew has opened fire at the limits of their range, from 12 meters under water! They land two hits before the sub dives away and i steam back to wilhelmshaven wondering what might have been.
Still, bagged 56,000 tons in that patrol, a sub would have been icing on the cake. Damn it SH5! :nope:
