Nailed a Nelson and a Revenge BB 160km north northwest of Scapa. It was heavy fog when my Sonarman got contact. I plotted some lines but I did not have any Range. So I set the eels for 7 meters depth an contact fuse and fired a salvo of four into the fog. The range in the TDC was pure guess from the volume of the screws, and the AOB I determined by drawing a line from their assumed position to scapa comparing that heading to my own sub position. Speed was set to 21, and with an Angle of 5 degrees the fish went of.

A minte later or so a detonation. Guess it was a premature. after 2 Minutes and 25 sek there was another detonation followed by a hell of secondary explosions. Didn´t s see anything. What kind of lucky bastard shot, Kriegstagebuch said I send a Nelson Class to the ground. Must have got his weak spot wherever it is at a depth of 7m :huh:

Kept closing in for that position, spotted some 4 minutes later the Revenge Class doing about 15 knots... it had no list so I wonder why it reduced the speed ?? It did not suffer any his. Or did it ? Was it hit as I heared the secondary explsosion from the Nelson ? We´ll never know. I shadowed it carfully in the fog until the tubes were reloded an gave her quadrouple salvo at 400m what blew her out of the water. She sank stern ahead after several explosions.

Suddenly a near Bang and a near Miss in the water. Damn Hell V&W closing in. Slammed the C Button "Alaaaaaaarm fluuuuuteen!!!" sounded out of the dolby boxes and U-52 through herself into the depth of the sea. Some Wabos detonated behind us... should not be the last salvo. Five damn DD´s where trying to ruin our day. They almost did. U-52 was kicked to 49% Hull integrity from 100% in about 2 and a half ours of cat and mouse play. Finally they disengaged, and I brought my heavily wounded beloved U-52 back to port. With only two sunk ships in the diary. But two fat ones!!! :rock:

Thanks ppls.........

I'm a little lost... will I actually ever see a Bogue or Casablanca scooting from one side of the Atlantic to the other?

I found and sunk two battleships (the Nelson and Revenge I believe) in Loch Ewe on November 19, 1939. :arrgh!:

Edit: It is 1939.

I know. For the past few patrols, (out of Brest, late 1940 early 1941) I've seen a Bismarck coming in port just as I was leaving and usually I encounter it again later, out at sea. The game positively identifies it as a Bismarck (and trust me, I can tell a Bismarck from a Hipper). Coincidentally, there's also a Hipper in Brest...

I think I even 'bumped' Bismarck out of the way on one of my outbound voyages... Was running at 256x to get out of port and plotted my course a bit too close to the big ship. It reversed and got out of the way. All that for my simple VIIB sub... :rock:

Ok ok I trust you :D

The same happened to me but it was Hipper class cruisier, I was running at 1x and just get closer to have a look at her :D Danke kameraden :up:

I had a brush with a Nelson class battleship in late 1940. I washeading to my patrol zone near Iceland and I was passing the Irish coast (not all that far from Tipperary!) when my lookout spotted a destroyer. Dive to periscope depth and on to silent running. Pick up sound contacts for a whole task force comming straight at me. :rock:

Nelson passes 1000m infront of me in a perfect beam on shot. Pump out four torps in a good spread. Three hit :D

The escorts then took there revenge by sending me to the bottom (NOOOOO!!!)
