What a patrol!
 

Sorry if this little boast annoys anyone but I just had my luckiest patrol yet!

165,958 BRT :rock:

The escorts around Cape Town don't seem very well equipped/experienced (yet). They have hedgehogs (I think that's what they're called... it fires a sort of "ring of depth charges" on the event camera) but their ASDIC was not up to the job of finding me.

:sunny:

Sehr gut
Yes hedgehog fire ring of explosive

Wow,all that in '43:oas well as them having hedgehogs which are usually fatal,that is an amazing patrol:up:I must admit I don't usually go that far down the map as when I do I don't find much worthy of all the effort:nope:but looking at that result I might be persuaded to give it another go;)

I only went down there because that's where BDU sent me. I've never been that way before. I had only just enough fuel to make it there, shoot some stuff, and head home. Fortunately I found plenty to shoot. :)

Congratahoochies, Crisis!

Getting 165Ks is no mean task. Drinks are on you! :()1: :()1: :()1:

Nice patrol :up:

:()1:

Not bad :D.

I think I'll take a look around Cape Town. I guess most of those ships were in convoy, not traveling alone?

Quite a few small convoys with only 1 or 2 escorts.
The rest were in heavily escorted large convoys.

I wish my boat had a longer range.:-? Great Patroal Onelifecrisis.:D

I understand Lloyds of London has put a price on your head.

Yea you might want to watch out.:yep::/\\chop :/\\x: And dont stand next to me.;)

They do now, Steve!!!
I, as Kurt, just set sail on my second patrol.
BDU sent me to patrol shallow (and probably mined) waters just off the east coast of Britain. :damn: :shifty:
But en-route I met a convoy in thick fog. I infiltrated behind the lead escort and waited for the first ships to appear.
Here's an event-camera shot from after the attack:

This looks set to be one hell of a career - if it lasts (the ensuing DC attack was not fun).

Beet my tonnage record, 500,000+ by mid 1940.;)

WOW :o I am sure you're glad that Bernard missed out on that patrol :hmm:

That was an excellent patrol ... BDU will be pleased :up:
