Not a great escape i think it was just pure luck.
Less than an hour ago encountered a large convoy in BE33 mainly consisting of Liberty cargo's,3 T3s, and 4C3s (29/01/44) befpre I got within 3000m of the convoy my stealth meter went a very dark red got to pd raised the scope and to my horror 5 DDs running straight for me 2huntIIIs,and 3V&Ws doing about 19KNTS I opened all tubes selected spread, and magnetic and fired and crash dived it both hunt IIIs and they sank the other 2 fish missed the V&Ws and continued towards the convoy. I leveled of at about 150m and hit silent running I didn't use my decoys last time I used them they found easly,anyway all I got was pinging for the next 5mis or so and then 2 more explosions i knew my fish missed the dds so what did i hit? at that time the dds broke off to investigate the exposions i didn't stick around for them to come back. i backed off to reload and have a go again on the convoy checked my log to see what I hit before and was suprised to see I was credited it 2 t3s sunk. I located the convoy and this time my meter was going green to red all the time but couldn't target a ship because by this time it was foggy and raining fired anouther fish (blind) but didn't hit a thing so I turned SW looking for clearer weather .
