Well it's 1942, and I'm commanding U-130, one of the U-boats in Operation Drumbeat so.... off to American waters!
I was going to try and set up a meeting between an Ocean Liner and the bottom of the Atlantic.

But it's a long trip, and I came across a convoy halfway. A nice chance to see if I can manually make three torpedoes hit three different ships at the same time. Well it kind of worked:

I hit the ship in the back about 6 seconds after the one in the front. Close enough for me. At the same time another torpedo hits a target behind me (but I have to admit I let my Weapons Officer do the calculations on that last one).

Then I got greedy and tried to setup one more torpedo solution... (I do that a lot :/ ) But by then a destroyer pinpointed my position by my periscope -I assume-. And then another one. So the cat & mouse game begins... Luckily I just installed the Bold decoys:

But it didn't help me. Got hit by a depth charge. One aft-torpedo tube destroyed and a lot of flooding (but completely no hull-damage :hmmm:), just as I was in the middle of crash-diving :damn: So I go down FAST. I order my best men to repair the damage as fast as possible, as I watch my depth going to 180, 190, 200, 210...

And that's when the flooding is finally stopped. I blow ballast and just in time I manage to rise 30 meters. After a VERY long time the destroyers finally give up.
Well, no hull damage, so of course we continue on our travel to the US east coast. Where I manage to sink quite a few ships. Still haven't found an Ocean Liner or Large Passenger ship... but got some nice screens of the ships I did meet. Aah, happy times..

Bakkels and iambecomelife very good shots.

Yup. That pilot is definitely in the hot seat.

Hm now that I'm watching my own screenshots I see the color of my water changes a lot when the weather shifts :hmmm: Time to do some tweaking in the environment files me thinks.

Attacked by a Tribal-class. Fired straight down the center, torp took out both propellers.

Needless to say, I cleared out of the area very quickly.

U-130 on it's way to another mission. Goal is a patrol along the American East-Coast starting off the coast of New York, ending in the assigned patrol grid in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.
