Either they have super ears, or they are "Elite"...  - An S boat can't go as deep as they sent me, and survive... My mistake was in coming back up to do a second attack on the cripple... Sneaky devils, sitting there watching and waiting. The one DD I saw, or should I say "saw the side of - up CLOSE" blocking my view, was definitely weather-beaten and rusty. I got a good look through the periscope at the skinning done on that dude  S-boats don't move fast enough forward, nor up-to-down to get away from that... I was ~maybe~ at 115 when a can from the 2nd DD landed on the deck and exploded. No lifeboats needed for me and my crew. We went down, and fast! Total playtime: about an hour and a half. Quality of playtime: priceless. |
Thanks for the feedback, pb. I always leave the crew experience at the default setting which is veteran.
The first time I played the scenario I got one of the troopships and the tail escort wandered into the path of the second pair of torpedoes meant for the second troopship.
