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  |
Say, just out of curiosity, were you trying to sneak into Scapa Flow for a closer look? That had been my whole reason for being there in the first place.
One thing I can say about the encounter... aside from "I learned a valuable lesson about clicking
Engage Target when I really want to
Proceed as ordered", is that it gave me plenty of time to admire the work that has gone into this sim. Love those searchlights!
