I fear not any longer
 

I dubbed them the swans of death the grim reapers of the sea but not any longer as the fear they had over me is gone. In the last three patrols I have sunk 11 of them that is to say Black Swan Frigates, yes I have fought back against these monsters who make Destroyers look tame and I shall challenge them and make my stand. I will no longer dive and hide only to be killed by them no sir I shall fight them and blow them out of the water.

Very Good Herr Steed. I'll see you promoted to Korvettenkapitän before your next patrol! Report to Donitz on the double, Leutant.

Good to hear, I have lost my fear to enemy destroyers long time ago.
We need more sub-commanders like you.

But remember, don't be a hero. We have enough heroes...



... on the bottom of the ocean.

:hmm: 11 sunk in 3 patrols - so, now that you've laid the smack down on 'em, what if you get 11 all at once! Their namesakes can be vindictive critters you know (and swans bite hard too).

Oh god I had the swans....stick it to 'em Steed. Yesterday I had a close brush with a Buckley's escort - it had 10 DC racks in total - my world almost imploded. If you see o'le buckley, put a hole in him for me.

I will. :D

Black swans.
 

I took out two that were escorting a convoy...they don't scare me as much as the smaller faster destroyers.

That convoy was also home to a southhampton class...three eels did her in.

I prefer to take out warships if I have the upper hand.

Phah Black Swans arent the worst frigate you will come across

:rotfl:

Smart ass :rotfl:

Don't tell me you guys got something nasty on the horizon in GWX 1.04?

:hmm:

Well there were other Frigate classes you know

True but none are so persistent than the Black Swans which stick to you like glue and hang around hours after the convoy with any destroyers made a bolt for it.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Really :rotfl:
:hmm:

:D:D

Yes.

@BBW

Just wait till he comes across The STEED Class :rotfl:

They musn't realise the Ikara missile system was a WWII secret weapon http://imgcash4.imageshack.us/img220...nariderhz3.gif

Steed - where were you last night? I lost U-163 with all hands in convoy action off Africa to a Black Swan :dead:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

HI THERE!!!:arrgh!:

Not only have I now read this thread...

but I have an admonishment for you warship chasers....

FOR EVERY ONE OF THE FATHERLANDS TORPEDOES YOU WASTE ON WARSHIPS... ANOTHER MERCHANT MAKES IT HOME... AND ANOTHER BOMBER DROPS ITS EGGS ON OUR HOMES!!!

You are ALL ordered to report to Kerneval upon your return. The ONKEL is keen to speak with you.

<Now... where did I put those sensor-sensitivity settings...>

:damn: :damn: :damn:
privateer must to be reading this also!!!
:nope:
We all be doomed!!!!
:lol:

Grid CJ76 - Oct. 9, '43. I attacked a convoy consisting of a troop transport, a medium tanker, and 3 small merchants. It was escorted by no less than 8 FRIGATES and two corvettes. It was perfectly calm - 1030pm. I struck the troop transport from 1.2km away with two steams - she doesn't stand a chance. I hit the medium tanker under the bow with a lucky shot, but my pattern runner failed to finish her off. Then the pinging started. I could hear at least 3 ships pinging for me. Amazingly, they didn't pick me up, and i waded through to the other side of the convoy in silent running. Which is good. Because I'm not sure anyone can escape 8 frigates. Just imagine the firepower there....insane.:dead:
