View Full Version : She's going down captian!
I encountered - then sunk - my first liner yesterday :D
It took two fish near the bow, then sunk a couple minutes later.
We even managed to slip away quietly and return home to enjoy our victory :cool:

Good job mate! :up:

Looks like they're going to put those extra liferafts to good use... Nice job. I have yet to sink one.
I've sunk about 3 or 4 by now; although it should be less now that I use Improved Convoys which removed these massive guys from convoys.
Catching a single like that though... impressive. There ain't many of them out there :up:

Nice kill, Kamaraden! :|\

It was actually part of a mid-sized convoy with 4DD escorts, I had used all four bow torps just before I saw it and had to reload 2 fish to sink it.
I'm using RuB and SH3Commander which I thought made the same changes as Improved Convoys ?

I remember getting lucky one dark night in late '42; I was still with my old love, U-539, and was chasing down a convoy when I found myself staring at a passenger liner off the port bow...I had blundered right into the middle of the convoy (we were in a heavy fog). Sucker took three torps before he went down.
Maybe I'll run into one with U-48...
-akula-
I found one in a convoy. One fish under the bow was enough to let it sail itself into the depth. 11.000+ Tons! :smug:

what kind of skin is that? I've never seen one like it - is it from some mod?

It's one of the Merchant Variety Pack skins I'm currently advertising.
