Scap FLow = Death trap
 
U - 46

"Der Panzer"


And thats how we're going to sink, like a tank!



Trying to sneek South of Scapa, DDs everywhere! Got one on our tail so lined her up and took her out. She tried to avoid as could see the bubbles on the surface, but we caught her in the Engine Room I think.


Another krept up on us, a DD with twin gunned turrets in closed mountings. Rammed us but I go out of that one, lined her up and took her out. One in the Engine room and another in the rear magasine.

Two destroyers coming from behind but a good 5minutes away.


Two more behind them but allot furthur away. No doubt I'll have some to my front.


Not gonna down without a fight...wheres the Luftwaffe when you need them most eh? :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:

Im not lying to you guys.

But it got worse.

ALLOT WORSE!

Kept going on through the area hoping to get through. Ended up loosing all my eels but indeed got 2.

However sometime after there were 2 large destroyers (the covered twin turrets) 1 medium, 1 armed merchanct.

Much hide and seek.

Evenutally thought Id make abreak for it, slowly moving south. Byt now I had 6 enemy warships hunting me, taking it in turns to pass over certain areas.

We got mawled. Rudder Destroyed, 31% Hull, depth charges dropping every few minutes but I sat it out and made it out. Two did break off and find me again but God was on my side lol.

Surfaced and made for ahead full. Only to realise that said Rudder was gone and we'd be running aground somewhere on the West coast of Holland I think lol :P

Hurricanes id attack but never fired a shot :S But yeah went abck to a previous save, (dies again and again during that lol!) cos in real life would of just adjusted the port proppeller speed and slowly curved it.

Funny...

I tried the south route once...did not make it.

Then I switched to the west route. I make it all the time in AND out...at least early in the war. Have not tried from 1942 on...

However, I PREFER Loch Ewe myself...

I'll take good care of her for you - she is sure to be very vulnerable in the mourning process

Scapa flow is by far the easyest port to raid in my opinion, jsut take the way in that herr Prien used.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr 08-17-07 08:49 AM

I dont have a screenie to prove it, but i have seen German Bombers in Scapa before.

Im pretty sure it was Vanillia SH3...and not GWX.

But i remember being very surprised to see the aircraft in the sky to be German!

Hartlepool and Dunkirk are in my own opinion. Plenty of room to manevour and plenty of ways to get home.
