A good read, Kobal2! I also enjoy type twos, got my last one rolled completely over like a kayak during an attack by hurricanes (1024 and not paying attention...that and dozing at the controls on the way home!)......it survived until I tried diving two days later.....50 meters and "squish".........it wasnt as tough as I thought. I still wonder if it had anything to do with that Black Cat we painted on the tower? I'm in a type VII now, and it is sooooo nice having all those torpedos, cant wait till I get the crew broke in and get some experience under thier belts. This one will get the "Lucky Shamrock" when allowed.
Looking forward to your next post.
