I managed to sink HMS Nelson! my first EVER encounter with a battleship
 

Just thought I would share the fantastic news of me managing to sink HMS Nelson the other night.He was a tough lad,it took 4 to stop him at which point he was sitting low in the water and starting to capsize to his portside.He needed a 5th torpedo to send him to the bottom.And the real special thing about this sinking was that he was part of a 20 ship convoy and sat bang in the middle on the 3rd lane.I attacked the convoy by shadowing for about 6 hours,moving in from the rear at night,dropped my draught to 7m and parked myself about 500m alongside him,and none of the lambs saw me,it was a textbook attack and I was really proud of myself,although I did feel bad for sinking him in the end,but I could hardly let him slip by without a fight :arrgh!:
33.000 tonnes from the Nelson gave me a very respectable 60.000 tonnes to that particular patrol,with 10 merchants sunk,and a Knights Cross second class.Odd,I was expecting the top medal for this audacious attack,in fact I was actually expecting Doenitz to step down and place me at the helm of the KM hehehe.
Every torpedo and every round of HE ammo was used on that patrol.
I took a few screenshots of the event and will post them in the near future.

Congratahoochies! Well done. :salute::salute::salute:But, next time be more agressive :D

Yeah very well done :D:salute:

Cheers you two,really was a very tense and exciting moment,gave me an ever greater appreciation for the game now,and here we are at times,thinking its a tedious experience with the odd lone merchant now and again,sinking that bad boy was epic! :cool:

Hey Brag,did you REALLY do all that? (below) if so,wow :o
If not,what a great imagination you have,like myself hehehe

Excerpt from Amazon's website highlighting your book:

'Alexey Braguine flew for a CIA secret airline in Laos, chased elephant poachers in Kenya, led horseback tours into the Chilean Andes. The explosive pages of his novels reveal not only a vivid imagination, but the experience gathered in a thriller life'

You're a cool guy mate :up:

Paul, that's the short version :D

You know,I may buy your book sometime :yep:

Congrats Paul on nice kill. :woot:

Thanks a lot :yep:

A most commendable attitude for a battleship buster. :DL

:rock::up:

Pictures or it didn't happen :smug:

My, aren't we sceptic today? :rotfl2:
Congrats on the sinking, Paul!

I think we will give him a credit on this one. Nelson often hides in convoys. As you should know, you wiley rascal.

Tomorrow night mate :cool:

@ GoDeep - thanks.
