Question:
after about 7 days i ran into a konvoi in the nord atlantik.. How the hell do you approach a konvoi during this time period.. I recieved the metox radar warning dove and heard the konvoi. full speed to intercept but before i even saw the formation of the konvoi destroyers were dead ahead coming full speed. i shot off a rerport and dove..
After 3 hours (real time) a record depth of 230 meters and minor damage i escaped the destroyers and completely lost the konvoi... The hell. It ended before it even began! There was no way i could shadow the konvoi after that. And the destroyer escort was ridiculous. At one point 4 were hunting me amd i still heard the screws of 3-4 more destrpyers in konvoi. I know the difficulty but wat gave me away so soonż it wasnt my radio report because i didnt send one when i was already being pursued..

Sounds realistic for that period. Once they know you're out there
.... try to survive...or.. just abandon ship and sink the boat and hope that the rest of the Wolfsrudel will take care of the convoy.
