Mission 6:
Year:1940
Patrol grid: AM32
Homebase: Lorient
Return Base: Lorient
U-Boot type: U49 VIIB
Hull damages: 99%, escort runs over me, got in flames, and finished with a stern torp..
Sunked:
1 DD, 1450 tonnage
1 Escort 950 tonnage
1 Tanker 10850 tonnage
2 Cargo ship 9700 for each
Total tonnages: 32650
The mission was great, hit the convoy, and took out the lead destroyer, and a Tanker.
The escort was a pain in the ass, and have to run over me, got in flames, and i finished with a stern torp... the hull was from 100% to 99%, has a little water leak but fixed with my crew...
Used all my internal torps for that convoy action. but still have 4 torps external, but the crew was tired to reload it...
When my crew was to tired to reload the torp fast, i decided to leave the convoy, and heading to grid AM32..
Grid AM, sonar guy messages me with "cargo ship closing in".
With luck, the day before i reloaded the external torps in the ship...
So have for torps ready for that tough cargo ship that have the tonnage 9700..
Used all my torps, to sink that big one...
Closing in grid AM32.. nothing happens, not even a ship...
than i save the game. and play the game the next day...
When i load the last saved, i had a message popped up it said "new base Wilhelmshaven".
SAY WHAT?
I am pretty sure i have to go back to Lorient, because they transfer me from Wilhelmshaven to Lorient, and now i have to go back to Wilhelmshaven???
It's not the fuel problem, i have plenty of fuel, even i am in grid AM32, i still have 75% fuel, so i can make it to Wilhelmshaven or even go back to Lorient...
Aight, if i have to go to Wilhelmshaven, so be it...
On the way to Wilhelmshaven just cross the Grid AN13, the weather was perfect, clear, calm water, sudden the sonar guy came with a message.
It was dark...
"Cargo ship, closing in at bearing 320", periscope depth, and peek into the periscope and saw a lone English merchant ship tonnage class 9700...
To be sure it was an english ship i fired a flare.. and use the UZO to check the flag...
Damn to far.
another flare.. just on top of the boat.. and use the UZO again...
Yup tis a tommy...
Aight boys, lock and load...
it's all yours...
range was 1000 meter, so i set it. close range, hit the waterline...
It was pick dark, after the flares was gone. so the tommy lighted up his search light and looking for me, well he found it.. for me it's easy to shoot him with the deckgun..
So my deckgun crew have fun shooting, in the mean time i looking with the UZO around 360 degreese to see any other ships...
And there was a black smoke far in the horizon...
went down to use the periscope, and zoom it... and lock the target...
It's a DD, check his class, and it's a DD that have topspeed of 15knots...(pretty old lazy thing from the WWI) i guess...
DD range 7500 closing in, in the mean time, my deckgunners having fun to shoot that cargo ship... it got in flames...
Range between me and ship 300, so i backed up till range 750....
And still keep an eye on the closing in DD(slow poke) lmao....
Than after a while(used the TC).. the DD was range 4500, and the cargo was in bad shape. and DD was using his search light, and found me.
OK guys enough shooting, time to dive...
DD was in range 2500meters, i dive to periscope depth, sillent running. try to go under the cargo ship that was already in 750meters...
the DD was depth charging, but didn't hit me bad... and go away bearing 180 degreese...
I use the TC again, and stop the engine...
When the DD was Range 7500 still looking around with the searchlight at that range, and even depthcharges on the wrong spot, i surface the ship again. and use the deckgun again...
So be it...
Boys having fun, and i keep an eye on the DD that was 7500 on bearing 180...
Than DD closing in again... till 3500 meters, than the target was destroyed, time to dive, and pass the cargo ship at periscope depth, heading to Wilhelms haven, and the DD never found me...
Wilhelms haven, i made it, time to go shopping for a bigger U-boot.
WRONG!!!!!!
Deccorated with bunch of medals, and for the crew too
I cant even update any uboots, or give my crew medals too...
So the BDU sended me all the way for nothing to Wilhelms haven, have 6950 Reown..
cant spend it for nothing...
Wierd huh?
My next mission 7...
Will be Patrol grid 0
Start base: Wilhelmshaven
Homebase: Lorient????
UHMMMM ok, but if you come up with the message "new homebase is Wilhelmshaven" i will ignore it...
