I admit I never played instant mission. I am (was) a campaign snob.
Last night, not having played awhile because of RL work, I tried out a new instant mission just to keep skills honed. So I selected a mission off Sicily.
Ok. I hit a few tankers. Big deal. Then the destroyers pick up on me and I head full steam at periscope depth to get into the convoy. The destroyers catch up and I drop to 200M and put the boat onto a 12 degree slow turn to starboard ( they cannot get me and I conserve batteries ).
Then I decide to watch the show on OMG view.
HOLY SCHMOKES! The raging scene on top blows my socks off with the Luftwaffe on task, the air peppered with tracers from the gunners!!
I watch AMAZED!! The sky goes quiet and the destroyers (6-7) are depth charging, then comes some RAF bombers to depth charge me too!!
Holy Schmokes!!
Then after a bit more time a second wave of Luftwaffe fighters show up and hit several tankers!
What a show!! I was totally amused and delighted for 2hrs. Hats off to this mission designer. And the ship and aircraft modders too! Outstanding graphics. Outstanding audio.
