I just finished the Operation Drumbeat campaign. It was pretty dicey there towards the end because i was in the Gulf of Mexico looking for tankers, i was getting worried cause i was down to 28% of fuel left and i couldn't get a resupply authorized. I assume it was cause i was in the gulf instead of on the East Coast. Well anyway i was getting desperate and decided to make my way east to try to meet up with a resupply boat or ship so i could continue my patrol. When all of a sudden i come across a Destroyer escorting 2 Cimmarron tankers about 250 Km west of Key West. I only had 3 fish left. I let the destroyer pass me and set up on the first tanker, i shot my first torpedo at his engine spaces and nervously waited. To my happy surprise the torpedo struck home and disabled his engines. I then moved towards the 2nd tanker and set up on him also in the engine spaces and fired my 2nd fish. I hit him just where i wanted too and disabled him as well. All the while the destroyer backtracked in an effort to find me.I setup on him with my last fish that thank GOD was in my stern tube, i waited for him to close to 700 meters and fired a down the throat shot at him and thankfully hit him with the torp. I waited for him to sink then surfaced and backtracked to the 2 tankers and finished them off with my deck gun. As soon as i sank the 2nd tanker to my relief i completed all required objectives and was rewarded with my 4th campaign being completed YES!!!! Now i am happily starting the Black Pitt Campaign and looking forward to finally being able to participate in wolfpack tactics. Wish me luck my fellow captains!
