The last one:

Date: October 4th, 1943.
Locale: South of Cape Town
Boat: IXC U-504
Realism: 100% GWX2.1
Cause: Diving deep (220m) with previous battle damage, after a successful convoy attack that sunk 2 tankers. The end came rather quickly.

But not before I rack up 3.1 mil tons. :-) Mostly from convoys.

And yes, I use my deck guns quite liberally (only against unescorted ships). My deck gun shells are too precious for any thing less than a 1000 GRT , I have my flak gun for that! (and why not, I never fight air planes anyway)

But I completely agree that a good captain should avoid tangling with DDs. The reward, if any, just isn't worth the risk.
