Ahoy Maties :arrgh!:
I completed my first 2 patrols of my new Career in the trusty Type IIA, then Upgraded to the Type VII, Dec 2 1939, After dowing 2 C2 cargo's I decided to sneak into Loch Ewe, Because accoring to the spoilers there would be 2 BB's in port:lol: .
Well sure enough, there were, After sneaking past 3 DD's that seemed to circle me like sharks, at max 32 TC, (which really by the way, wears out your crew so much you have to keep rotaing every minute) I took the straight up the middle approach. I didnt want to take the north 'channel' because Ive read on here before that there were subnets there. Sure enough, no matter how carefull I was I was detected by a DD, about 3km from the Nelson BB, He made 2 Unsucessful depth charge runs on me, slightly damaging my FWD Deck, The he kindly set himself 400m directly behind me at 180 deg. :rotfl: Stern Torp set a med speed 3m depth, by the time it got to the DD it caught him just fwd of his props, DD sunk :D
Ok so im free to position myself to attack the Nelson, hes sattionary at an awkard angle, so I creep up to 352 m at as close to 90 deg as I can get my sub, hard to turn at ahead slow at PD, a lot of fwd slow, back slow, Like parallel parking a station wagon. So I set up and aim under the fwd gun turret, the first one hits and the nelson statrs to accelerate, the second one hit and BOOM, big explosion, I hit something critical there:up: . 36000 tons. So I performed a Trick I learned from an earlier career at Scapa. There are 2 DD's looking for me so I postion myself with the observation scope as close as possible to the Nelson which is breaking up underwater. (I have free view disabled, I want the renown, 66% realism)
So they cant here me or ping me because im next to the wreckage. TC to 128 for about 4 hrs to let them cool off, its dusk now. I time the C class DD which is back to patrolling, I jump his gap and posiiont myself to attack the revenge which is docked. Only have 3 torps left and one of them is a stern which needs to be loaded. Really difficult to get the min 300m on this attack because of where it is docked A low of fwd slow, back slow here and then,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I get called into work, which is were Im at right now.:nope: Can't wait to finish this shift and go home and finish this attack.
So I might as well ask you guys, there are 2 other DD'S docked here also, If I surface next to them can I take them out with my deck gun or will they fire back. I was just wondering because Ive never seen a DD docked before. So are they Unmanned? or will they fire on me if I surface near them?
