In the time it took to get from the main Halifax harbor to this staging area the weather started to ease up a bit so that I was able to see the targets from ~1000m away instead of 400m like it was when I entered the harbor and sunk the big tankers there. Then used the deck gun to finish off all the remaining large targets that I wasn't able to use a torpedo on or they didn't sink with just 1 eel. |
Ah yes, Halifax convoy formation area....the Aladdins Cave of every Kaleun.
SINK EM ALL!!
