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..

I am assuming radar got you, or they saw you, could be that. It depends on the weather, day/night, decks a wash or not, speed you were going. So many things, but at least you made it out alive, thats what counts.
