Thats it. I've done that mistake before. Just yesterday on my 6th patrol (first with GWX3) I hit an empire cargo, then afew days later I hit a Latge cargo but I was still wanting more. So I had already completed my patrol and was slowly making my way to the supply ship, (I like staying out for months on end) but I decided to head south. (I was located just north of Ireland but due to HEAVY ASW task forces I had to abort) When I reached south Irland I received 2 different contact reports:
1) Medium size enemy convoy 4kts headed east
1) Large enemy convoy 4kts headed east
So I decided to head west. (I get in front of convoys then cut engines, letting them come to me) By the time I was just in front of the convoy I had already done my recon:
2 Black Swan's 1 Sub (British?)
I blew the lead DD out of the water, then I hit an Ore Ship (Broke it's back)
I then hit large cargo (must have had ammunition aboard, Obliterated)
Then I hit large merchant (Sunk 10 min later) By this time the second Black swan was just about on me, I fired on it but missed (may have hit something else, I did hear a bang) So the convoy has half way past me, I wanted more. I fired everyhing I had, Hit a small tanker but missed the destroyer again.
I then realized I overstayed my welcome and lazily made my exit. As i'm smoking a cigarette I hear grinding followed my Massive Blasts (DTS stereo LOUD) followed my MEEEDIC!! and finaly my demise. A fitting end to U-52
