My best start of a patrol...
 

I don't mean to be a show off but i just couldn't resist. This is definitely the best start of a patrol i've ever had. Check this out.
Patrol 6. I was plowing ahead towards Orkneys when my WO reported a DD on the horizon. Periscope depth and rigged for silent running. Then the soundman got another 4 signatures. I took a peak through the scope and there they were on the collision course a pack of 5 DD's doing 15 kts. A task force of some kind... yeah, the worst, sub hating kind, filled up to the brim with DC's. "What the heck" i thought, 6 patrols is quite a long time at sea and if it ends now then, well... Battle stations!!!
Checked the recognition book and adjusted torp's running depths. Tubes 1, 2, 3 than 90 degrees to portside and 5. Bang on target, all of them. Woohooo!!! But one DD is still out there and he got a sniff of me, "not much use of silent running now" i thought... Ahead flank! Twisted and turned like a snake, took some DC's fired 4 torp's at it, all missed, and then out of the blue came a Condor and bombed it! Didn't do much damage though but lit it up and got it off the course. That was my chance...
Sent him a fish right in the nose! Yeah! But he was still going and somehow decided to do a runner! "Right" i thought, "I'm going after you". By the time i got into shooting distance and reloaded a torp, he was dipping it's nose in the North Sea's floor.
Here are some pics:

Hehe, you mess with me, you get a bloody nose... (that's the last of the DD's)

How about that Kaleuns? I'll continue the patrol although this encounter took 9 torps out of my boat. Wish me luck then...
:arrgh!:

Sweet Justice...good job Kaleun! One less HK group to worry about!

Nice work

But how come the torp in the front did not dud?


Myself I got knights cross with oak leaves swords and diamonds and have not sunk a single ton of warship hardware..:)

Magnetic detonators set on. And damage looks that cool 'cause of OB's Final Torpedo Damage Mod.:D

I love it! 5 DDs must be some sort of record. Well done :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:
I would have never dared.:roll:

Yup, 'twas a brave thing to do. :up:

Thats some huge marbles ye got on ya:up:

And job well done Ive run into a simaliar group which reported as a task force but was all DD's

Thanks a million for your comments mateys, means a lot.:up:

P.s. I remember playing SH2, and being haunted by HMS Glowworm and HMS Bulldog veeeeery often, right now it's payback time and papa's got a brand new boat!
:arrgh!:

Well done great result for your bravery. as the message says "Keep up the good work" :p :rock: :up:

Great work, that'll show em. :up:

:hmm: If a pilot downs 5 enemy a/c, he's an Ace. So Kpt. Kozloff, I believe that would make you an Ace too. :D

Becareful next patrol. I'm sure they have your number and will be looking extra hard for your boat. ;)

Nice story...:up: It takes some cojones to take on 5 DDs...
But on the other hand 9 torps for around 6000 tons is very expensive when you figure out how many tons you get for that number of torps on freighters...

actualy destroyer are the only purpose of magnetic pistol :)
