Steal of a deal!!
 

so, im on my first partol in the black sea in a IID and come across a convoy with 3 escorts after AA-gunning two small fising boats (200 tons). so, i shoot the lead escort (2,000tons) first cause im a little trigger happy. perfect inder the keel shot. I look and wait for the other escorts to rush in...nobody...so i shoot the Chateram type troopship (5,000 tons) and sink her with the same method. so i have expended my 3 tubes and dive, expecting sombody to come after me....nobody (everybody's bust milling about in circles including the merchants). so I reload and come to periscope depth half expecting sombody to detect my acent but like before...NOBODY!! so i turn and shoot my last 2 eels off, sinking a small merchant (2,000 tons) and taking off a screw of a small tanker but not sinking her (:down:i wanted more tonnage).

Well, all and all i felt as if i had my hand in the cookie jar and still hot away with it. Geesh, i musht have met up with the 3 worst escorts in the soviet navy (perhaps bernard was comanding the escort services)

Nice work! :cool:

As for the escort's ineffectiveness, it's probably par for the course. Being mostly a land power I don't think ASW was much of a Soviet forté in World War 2.

The Russian Navy didn't have much of a war, other than MTB boats on raids and minor successors, mainly due to the limited area that she had to defend coast wise (and having Japan act neutral didn't hurt either!):up:

It's not a reflection on the Navy itself, just on the limited area of operations they served in.

Man i wish i could find 2000 ton escorts, all i get is those sob tribals grossing out at 1830:rotfl:
