TMO 2.5 Update V2.0(release coming soon)
Subsim Donation Narwhal
20 February 1942 Area 4 off entrance to Sagami Wan(Tokyo Bay area)
Submerged at dawn for patrol. Last minute course change of 5000 ton merchant spoiled attack. Heavy air patrols and proximity to shore prevented surface chase.
At 1700 caughtlarge DD (Asashio Class) heading for Tokyo Bay at high speed, decided to attack as luck provided ideal set up. Closed to 1000 yards and fired three MK 14 torpedoes on ideal track.
One prematurely exploded twenty seconds after launch, which apparently alerted the DD, the second torpedo appeared it would hit, but wake ran below target just aft of amidships, likely deep runner.
Third torpedo missed just ahead of the bow perhaps by 20 feet or less as DD expertly maneuvered. DD then made a high speed turn, with one bow torpedo left in tube four, fired a "down the throat" shot from 600 yards and ordered depth of 200 feet. A large torpedo explosion was heard as passed 85 feet, but believe was premature explosion, not a hit.
DD roared above, dropping four depth charges.
After a couple hours evading, DD seemed to have lost exact position. I had to leave but did not want to shut down sim or save underwater due to problems, so left Narwhal running silent at 85 RPM at 300 feet.
I returned home a little while ago, 9 hours and 50 minutes since I left this morning. DD is still within a 1000 yards hunting. Periodically stopping and going. Will listen a while, then ping, contact us make a run.
During one run, a depth charge bounced off the deck "new clang effect for when depth charge contacts the hull, borrow from Traveller mod, incorporated into EAX , thanks to vickers03) and exploded 15 seconds later, causing some moderate damage.
Currently at 315 ft, easing a long, nursing battery power , pushing 11 hours under attack now. Narwhal must be a noisy boat lol
*UPDATE* After 11 1/2 hours , lost contact with the DD. Continued until night fall, surfaced and departed the area.
