On Patrol last night, near Gibraltar, we were doing a little recon
close to the narrows when, out of nowhere a PT boat pops in and starts filling my lovely IXC with machine gun fire.
I tuned our Quad loose on those tommies and put a few magizines into them.
The center of the PT bursts into flames, but they are still firing heavy into our
conning tower.
Just when I think "hey this PT is going to the bottom in a few minutes"
Two dammed Sunderlunds come diving down on us!
One hits foreward and other hits aft!
We're taking on water fast.
I turn all our AA guns on the Planes and call the deck gun
crew topside.
after a very intense battle, splashed to sunderlunds and send the PT to the
bottom.
Though we lost my best AA gunner and hull was so shot up and dented (10% Integ)
I had to return to base.
Sunderlunds are a pain, but easy enough to shoot down, B-24 on the other hand
are born of the devil!
