Mission BF11
Boot: U-55
Realistic:50%
Pimped gizmo's on boot: nothing, just flak and deckgun...
2 lame @ss torps(magnet) slow and only 3km max range...(normaly i dont want them, because they are slow, and in stormy weather they could blown off early and it will blow my cover)..
But this time i was forget to change them grrrr
Another day to kick some @SSES lmao...
Smell the fresh air in the Wilhelmshaven, ready to ship out up to BF11 this time...
As you know i dive all day and surface all night(good fuel saving) btw...
Question for me was, should i take a short cut(Brittish Canal) what i called DEATH-TRAP... or take a de-tour(between Scapa and another island(sector AN13)...
I took the AN13 route...
So i went trough AN13 and almost was out of the sector and suddenly DBU called in that there was a TASK-FORCE in AN13, yes behind me and pretty close(for all those years of playing i always miss the task-force) and this time i was lucky, so i turned around(it was day, so i was already under water), setted high speed, and making intercept the taskforce..
Distance between me and them was 4km, so i went closer and closer setted at rig silence, sneak by 1 DD and pop-up the scope, and zoom it..
It was a bueatiful day nice calm weather
WHAT WE HAVE HERE....
5 DD
3 BB, 1 revenge and 2 nelsons...
i start with "INNY MINNY MINY MO", sorry Revenge, your @ss is mine!!
as you know i have forget to change 2 lame @ss torps class 2
Range was in the mean time 2500 meters.. time to setted the torp depth at 7,5 and aimed on the first gun on the revenge..
FIRE IN THE WHOLE....
the good thing about the lame @ss torps are.. they dont leave a gas-trail..
but the bad thing they are slow..
Lower periscope
lets see where the torp gonna impact(externe view)
hitted on the side of the revenge, the second hitted also on the same spot, i look in the book, and it was in the engine room, revenge stopped, and start to lean slowly to starboard, but it didn't sink :damn:
Oh well, time to use the stern-torp, so i was turning around and forgot there was a NELSON nearby and ship over me(damaged flak-tower,deckgun) but the hull was still 100%, the whole boot was shaking as hell, after lotta shaking going on, i was on range 1000 and set the rear-torp at 7.5 at medium speed, and aim again on the middle of the Revenge, FIRE IN THE WHOLE...
Hitted in the middle of the revenge big blast, gunners all over the place, and finaly started to roll over and sunk slowly to the bottom.. the DD still looking but he founded out that he have to protect the 2 nelson and leave the scene...
After sunked the Revenge
My crew was pissed(tired) and it took me almost to BF11 that the crew become normal activity...
Reached the BF11 sector, have 7 torps left..
Than suddenly my whole system start to lame as HELL, and i think oh ****, i have a feeling there is a convoy nearby, and yes, the first comes on the map, was a DD, and the convoy was huge, it was dark, so i was already surfaced, and start to use the deckgun to make the mission a little more like a "thrill ride", i hit the DD 2 or 3 times but the DD was so fast that the distance between DD and me was 2000, so i dove, and check the DD what he do...
I pop-the scope and saw 2x T3, 1xT2, 3xC3, 2xC2, coastals, small cargo's..
so i pick the T3, set the torp depth, and fire(hitted nice in the middle and sank(thats what i called "1 SHOT 1 KILL"... normaly i use 2 torps to sink a T3.. but not this time...
The second victim, a C2, hitted, but not sinked..., a C3 on the rear, hitted in the bow also him didn't sinked.
Hit 2 small cargo's also 1 shot 1 kill each...
after that small cargo i leave the scene, heading home, half way AM sector i used the last torp on a small cargo... and took out a Trawler and a fishcotter by deckgun... heading home with no ammo and no torps...
Here are the following sunked ships
4x Coastal ships
5x Small Cargo
1x Schlepper(SPY) :P(deck-gun)
1x BB Revenge
1x Trawler(deckgun)
1x T3
1x Fishcotter(deckgun at 3000 range), man those are just a knob on the sea specialy at 3000 range...
Total Tonnages 60849
Came home, and received 3000 reown, and a bunch of medals for me(not all, missed 2 medals)...and for the crew promotion and also for them a bunch of medals to, because without them, i am nothing....
You probaly wondering why i took out a trawler and a fishcotter and a schlepper? my answer.. JUST FOR FUN :P normaly i ignore them, but the sea was so calm the most of the mission so just wanna play with the deck-gun..
My new mission is AM54, captain log will continue
