Happened just yesterday on 89%, May 1940 west of scapa flow: Dived from a plane - hydrophone reports several warships:
What the...?
And they are heading exactly towards me! I felt very lucky...and very afraid, too. Depth under keel: 110m.
I was able to fire all 4 bow torpedoes: 3 electric, 1 steam. The steam was a mistake: Being the fastest, Warspite saw it and turned portside. Too late, the torpedo hit...dud.
DAMN! I admit I thought about reloading - when would I ever have that much luck again? And now the Tommies will break my neck! I switched from exterior to the sub, focussing on escaping....
when about a minute later, 2 of the remaining 3 torps hit! Sorry, no picture. But I saw the 3rd after it passed by and warspite's bow had a large hole, right at the front. I guess cruising at high speed has disadvantages, too.
After the impacts. You may guess the slight disbalance to the bow. Also the attempted course change by the wake.
This looks good! I got her!!
Man, Karl is gonna be so proud of me!
With all these ships around, I'm sure somebody picked up those guys. Is the one in the middle reading a book?! Those Brits sure are a calm folk...
And the best: Not one depth charge. 2 destroyers were seeking for me, one even pinged, but somehow I escaped. I guess the others decided to rather get the remaining ships home.
