It's an Illustrious Class Carrier all by it's lonesome staying on a steady course.
Come to Papa.  I sit holding my breath and white knuckled with, my finger hovering over thte FIRE button.
At 90 degrees and 800 mtrs I let all 4 eels go.
23,000 tons End of story. Scratch one carrier. 
A while later on the surface I spot another Swordfish. Hope he's got plenty of fuel cause, there ain't no place to land out here anymore. 
Now off to Rockall Bank. |
2 Patrols ago was travelling East of Scapa on heading 030 and kept getting constantly harrassed by Swordfish. Shot the first one down, then the next one, then they started sending pairs. Thanks to my crack AI gunner he managed to shoot them all down before I took any hits; luckily it was dusk so when they sent 3 at once I dove and just sat there and waited for it to get dark.
Being close to Scapa I went in through the West opening and found the problem, an Illustrious class carrier was parked there along with an Aux. Cruiser. Not nearly the same satisfaction of sinking a warship at sea it felt great to get back at that constant thorn that pestered me all evening.
