Default Type II's have a punch

I love the Type II's despite their limited range. Small, hard to detect, and if one is lucky, they can give a punch

Here are some pics from last mission

Leaving Kiel for AN 51

After 2 days, the weather turned for the worst. Patrolling submerged as visibility was zero, my hydrophone guy spots a merchant. Positioning the boat at for 90degree shot from 400m, impact pistols. 2 torpedoes and the Ore Carrier goes down

Convoy report. Large convoy approaching. Depth around the area around 130m. Conference with my WO and we decide to go for it. Weather turns for the better. Attacking position at 3Km away from convoy. 2 topredoes launched, medium cargo hit

Evasion tactics. Turn towards escorts, depth at 100m, silent running. Got pinged a bit but no runs or depth charges. Type II is too small for their comfort

We wait until all ships are out of hydrophone range. We Surface and turn towards our home port. We arrive at Kiel. As usual, Marlen and the rest of the nurses welcome us back. Cant wait to hit the bar
