I was in the first mission when I spotted a friendly sub, followed him into Danzig, thinking, hey great he can help me get these two destroyers!

Well, not really, he was between them and myself. They spotted me and drove right over him to get to me! :o
He just drove on his merry way.. So I went to the outside view and put my camera just above my friendly sub.. watched him drive right past the destroyers.. In fact I think he literally went right through them!!

After that, I was able to hide for enough time for the Luftwaffe to come in and take out one of the destroyers. I hid from the other one long enough to come back and make a night surface attack on a small merchant. I used my deck gun to sink him, and did a victory lap :) Maybe a little too gratuitous?

The Orzel was lost in British service after 7 patrols in 1940 without any trace; expeditions launched since 2009 have found nothing.
