Patrol 15 out of Lorient, Late Oct1940, U-46 type VIIB. Came across a convoy 2 days out of port, took out 2 destroyers from range with the deck gun, and then took my time blasting the merchants for around 50,000 tons in a couple of hours of daylight surface attacks LOL, was a little hairy with merchant deck gun and MG fire and the boat took some damage, but not one crew member was harmed.

I play GWX with SH3, and although taking out escorts is not my usual realistic method of gameplay, I thought what the heck.

Home 4 days after departure, awarded Knights Cross with Swords & Oak Leaves, now approx. 250,000 tons sunk.
