2nd Patrol, haven't seen a single ship. On the way home, U-45 is struggling her way through heavy seas in the English channel when she recieves a contact report of a ship nearby.
Kapitan Leutnant Josef Thomsen orders an intercept course and speed increased to Ahead standard. An hour or so later....WHAM!!!!!
U-45 collides with a coastal merchant, sustains heavy damage, and sinks due to flooding. All hands lost.
RIP Thomsen and U-45.
Note: This infuriated my slightly, but i feel as though i'm cheating if i reload the mission and resume the game since that isn't what happend in WW2. Sigh! Guess I'd better start another carreer......again
