I just got lucky in the MED, I started a GWX 3.0 career with the 29th flotilla,
Wouldnt you know it - 12 hours in to my first patrol I run slap bang in to the path of A HUUGE British taskforce.
I counted 4 BBs.
manged to get within 2000m and carried out the most 'well syncronised' attack i think i have every made in Silent hunter 3.
I shot a salvo of two electrics at a King Geroge V, followed by 2 fast Steam eels at the Neslon behind him, thanks to the difference in running time, the four impacts on both vessels were simutainiouse!
By the time the DDs came sniffing i was already at 90 meters.
I went down to 220m and had a very scary problem, dispite not sustaining any damage from the DC attacks, my boat (bizarely) could not sustain a level depth and kept sinking deeper - very slowly, worst of all she refused to assend when ordered!
I had to blow ballast tanks 3 times! to escape crush depth, each time i let her rise to 100m before ordering the crew to level off - but she still kept sinking!
Eventually the escorts gave up the ghost and sailed off, a good thing too as only had enough compressed air for one more accent! after that i'd have no way to surface the boat!
Weirdly, once I reached periscope depth, the problem corrected it self and i could accend/decend with the dive planes as normal...
With the TASk force out of Hyrophone range I looked around with the scope.
Neither of the battle ships were sunk, but both were crippled, low in the water and unable to move, just me and them - alone together at last!
....4 eels later and they both went to the bottom.
King George was stubbon and absorbed 3 more eels before she went under, I got lucky with the nelson, as she exploded with one last hit (maybe i hit a magzine?)
Anyway - 71k and iron crosses all round!
