alright. third patrol as a uboat and im going down into the indian ocean (i think) and come across another escort-less convoy of 5 ships. i had just sunk another convoy of 5 ships without an escort, and massacred Everything. so i find ANOTHer 5 ship convoy and its just PERFECT. im heading east while there heading SE coming towards me. i see the WONDERFUL opportunity and turn north. i turn north, then turn towards the convoy and dive. so basically now im coming at the convoy from the side. So i come in, and find an old german tanker. i fire three shots at it, and although it didnt say it, i knew she was a goner. then i turn the boat to line up a nice stern shot for a liberty cargo, and fire both tubes into her. i wasnt sure thatd be enough, but i couldnt do anything about it. so i kept up the massacre. i came at another liberty cargo and sent 3 torps into her. she went down in 30 seconds. i look back and the liberty cargo who got my atern torps was totally doomed. she was listing too dam heavily.
so theres 2 small ships left. i was freaking amazed at what i saw. One of he merchants was on steroids or something, mooning me while sashaying into the horizon at an amazing 15 knots. the other one was going not TOO fast but could definetely outrun me going at 9 knots. so i chade these B****rds down and empty 3 torps into each. i knew they needed only one or at max two, but i was PISSED that it took me an hour to hunt them down. but that last one reached up out of hell itself and slammed a fist onto my boat. i was close the the last one, so i surface and AS shes going down, she explodes in a fireball. now im pretty dam close, and believe me ive DIED before from an explosion like that. So she blows and im left with 53 hull damage and a DESTROYED bulkhead. I couldnt believe my god dam eyes.
so i decide that i REALLY think i should go back to base. so i plot a course and all is well until a few hours later (game time) a plane comes. since i hadnt played in quite a while all i rembered was the germans being able to fend off planes. so i decide NOT to dive. i man the heavy aa, and wait until my gunners start shooting and fired at that plane. but this b***h wouldnt die. she was flaming but still managed to drop a bomb and go off into the distance. the bomb didnt land on the boat, but it did a little damage, so i decide ill dive. so i dive and start compression and all of a sudden the officer tells me were under attack.
i look at the damage and we took FIFTEEN more hull damage and a bulkhead really damaged along with the deck gun and stuff. there wasnt ANYTHING but that plane nearby. apparently this plane can bomb even when im underwater. so im all like this is BULL**** he comes around and BOMBS ME YET AGAIN but didnt do much damage. so i decide to surface and take this m effer out. he comes around again, im manning the aa, he dives and i unleash a torrent. i blow off a wing and destroy him.
but YET AGAIN they reach out of hell and slam down on my boat. The plaane CRASHED INTO MY BOAT. caused that damaged bulkhead to be destroyed AND one electric battery was heaily damaged. so pretty much going under wasnt an option. the bulkheads were the command and bow torp rooms, so my boat starts flooding and my bow is dipping. im at 7 meters and holding. so im left with 80 hull damage and two compartments flooding. i keep going back to base and FINALLY reach port.its finally over.
