...but man that was a long scary wait.
On my last patrol I was hunting a convoy some 20km south of Scapa Flow in bad visibility. OK, my deck watch spots an escort some 2000m off our starboard side, and I as a Kaleun then decide they'll never see me because it really was a pitch black night with a cloud cover of 10/10. Well like hell they didn't

There's like 50m of water there, and I'm now running silent some 2-3m from the bottom, with 4 DDs camping up top throwing copious amounts of ash cans at me. Needless to say I only survived because it's still early 1940 and they're not that good just yet! But oh man, that was the longest night of horrors indeed

Gotta love GWX3.

PS. Congrats maillemaker for a job well done! Now get off yer butt and buy those Engländers a beer for saving you
