Came up to PD behind the lead escort, 1000m from the lead tankers, two beautifull keel shots on the first two T3's, couldn't miss at this range. The last 2 forward fish into the Cruiser from 600m. The T3 *and* the Cruiser blew right up!

Sent the tail fish into the remaining T3, didn't kill it but broke it's engines Dove and disengaged, the escorts had a half-assed attempt to find me then took off after the remaining T2's and Small T's.

Once everything was quiet I surfaced and (being out of torps and running a U-Flak configuraion) finished off the T3 with my trusty M42-Twin.
Was it the one in the AM grid in 44? if so I had this convoy before my boat was a complete wreck by the time I finished.
