29 November 1939, few miles off the English east coast.
I was just playing the game and sailing north at British east coast. I had just sunk a British C2 when I got a contct raport of a slow moving target just ENE of my current position.
Well, it was easy to find as it was heading my way...
I am slightly unexperienced yet so at first glance I thought it was a Coastal because of the high bow construction (it was night, weather clear), as it came closer I quickly realised that it actually was a C3. Wow, I thought, this is going to be most fun. Well, I prepared everything and double-checked the flag as good as I could in the dark. The flag was red. I thought that who else than the British would possibly sail with a huge cargo-ship few miles off the coast with a red flag. And as it was reported as a contact I thought it wopuld surely be a British.
Well, I fired 4 and 3. Both hit exactly were they ment to (close to the fuel reserves), when I realised that the flag was actually the flag of NORWAY!!! :damn:
Well, the C3 managed to keep it self together, you couldn´t even see that it was hit (good for me). I left the place ashamed... :oops:
So I wonder, does Herr Donitz get mad if you only damage neutral ships?
And an other which has nothing to do with my blindness in flag recognition is: Didn´t the U-Boats have their own cooks? It would be fun to have a kitchen compartment in the sub...
