At the end of my (rather successful - 30k tons including an Auxillary Cruiser, using the Hollywood Living Crew Fatigue Option) first patrol, I was thinking that I hadn't seen any neutrals. This was a major factor early-war in 1.02. On my return to Wlihelmshaven, in very rough seas, I had a contact - Small Cargo vessel, long range - headed WNW, outbound from Norway. In the past (1.02), this vessel usually would have been Norwegian, and therefore untouchable. I plotted an intercept course, and, when I got within 2k m, I submerged, not wanting to be spotted, for a clean shot, if this vessel was fair game. I needed to make it count, because I only had 1 stern torpedo left. The seas were playing havoc on my crew, trying to maintain periscope depth. I had a very hard time making out the nationality, but finally, at about 700m, and during a lull in the waves, I could make out the flag. It was Polish! This ship was trying to make it to Britain, after the downfall of Poland. The Polish vessel was having a hard time in the rough weather, and I maneuvered for my shot, goinng for a shallow, impact pistol run. Needless to say, there is one less Polish cargo ship going to make it to Britain.

Great MOD!
