'Swhat happens when you let Bernard take the screenshots.

Or in your case maybe it was Bernadette.

Anyway, a sinking to be proud of.:sunny:

danke!

and ha ha i snuck away totally clean, the destroyers never even got close. all the depth charges were "aft of us... way aft of us."

so much fun to watch them disappear in my rearview mirror, so to speak, still dropping charges at someone that wasn't even there.

to be fair i am still playing at 0% realism, lol, and probably will be there for a while. don't know you all do it playing with more realism, i think i will have to work my way there through many careers and lost lives.

still - feels good to finish a mission among the living.

To be fair, and honest, I suck at manual targeting and probably always will. Part of my problem is that I don't really care. Even with WE Assistance I still don't hit all the time. I pretend the calculations are going on, so I make slow approaches and lots of periscope observations. Also I'm addicted to the external views, but the rest - the approach, attack, and escape - are all done as accurately as I can make it. Once the hunt is on, the external is off.

I am finding the external view very useful right now, using it to see what is going on topside and comparing it with hydrophone reports and map contacts... it's helping me learn to visualize what is going on up there because I can compare what I think is going on, with what is really going on.

Also it was very fun watching those destroyers running back and forth furiously dropping depth charges 300, 400, 500 km behind me as a I snuck away. HA HA SEE YA SUCKERS!

I have a feeling manual targeting will be the last bit of realism I get around to, lol, and when I do I will be practicing it on as many lone, preferably unarmed merchants as I can find.

Nice shots. FYI, you can download the real HMS Courageous here, so you don't have to use the Illustrious as a stand-in:

Thanks. Just finished my first patrol of my first career so I will probably start downloading/enabling more mods, skins, etc. when I go back in to continue.

More U-46, first patrol
