Really cool story!
 
I found a convoy of merchants.
I stalked them.
I quickly found that they had an escort.
We were going head on, me attacking the merchants, him attacking me.
I dived to periscope depth and fired a torpedo at it.
It hit him dead on and broke of the front of his ship.
I surfaced and resumed attacking the merchants.
He was still attacking me somehow though he was almost vertical:hmmm:
Eventually he sank.
Randomly a merchant I thought was unarmed started shooting at me.
I sank him with my deck gun.
Again random shooting.
This time I used a torpedo also.
Eventually I had no torpedoes and not ammo so I dived and left.

Quite actiony

Try running into 2 convoys..youll wish you had more torpedos.

Or even better a military task force of nothing but troop transports with only 2 corvette escorts...that was a masscure, but troop transports can fire at you on the surfance..but either they had horrible aim..or their machine guns do 0 damage to anything..

I must of been really lucky or had some seriously poor shots, because i had at times 3 troop ships shooting me up for over 10 minutes+ and they never even did a scratch. Sunk all 3 of them with the deck gun..it was a nice light show back and forth for a while..

troop transports
 
I think it's small arms fire. They actually did minor damage to my my periscope, flak guns, radio, which my men quickly repaired. I found that if stay further away they don't shoot, maybe out of range.

I find it sad their attacking with AA guns:nope:
