This patrol just plain sucks:
July 1940, after finishing patrolling AN31 (as per orders) and encountering exactly SQUAT I decide to make my way towards British coast hoping to encounter some ships. On my first attack on Large Merchant all four torpedoes fail to detonate. Because there's too many warships in vicinity (PT boats) I can't surface and the merchant gets away.
Oh, well, there's gonna be another targets....
Couple days later I encounter another Large Merchant, manage to sink it with 4 torpedoes. I'm underwater and observing the sinking (on external camera, playing only on 72% realism) but DON'T GET CREDIT FOR SINKING. WTF, where's my 10K tons credit?!
Another Large merchant comes my way and I have only one torpedo left. Los! Hit her right in the screws. She slows down but does not sink.
The weather is crappy and I cannot use the deck gun to finish her off so I decide to shadow her. Following her for about 72 hrs. She is ass heavy but still plows on. The sea remains heavy...
Out of nowhere Bf-109 appears and releases two bombs. Near miss! Whoooo, I still have a chance! Two hours later the merchant is sinking.
Son of a b!tch!!!!!!! Here goes another 10K tons.
This game can be really frustrating sometimes.
Back to Wilhelmshaven, better luck next time, I guess....
PS I wish SH5 had THAT kind of atmosphere.....
