It was 12:11 I started to shoot her with my Deck gun, but I got interupted by an Speedboat from the English. I shot him with my deck gun but I supposed the Alarm has been sound. I heard multiple War ship sound contacts closing my position. 12:21 Finally I sunk the Merchant ship. but my men spotted with naked eye the 2 first incoming DD's **** , dive!!!!!
25 meters got 8 meters under me left...ow crap. they pinged me, they DC's me I had no chance to get away from there. I when on silent running and 1 knot but still they knew where I am...I had to distract them till night fall...but its was just 13:02 ..long way to go....I recieved the first blows....Hull down til 69% , 1 compartment flooded but I could repair it...Pffff...repaired everything my men could repair....at 14:36 3 more Warships Sound contact recieved....closing....How unfair.... at 16:41 they finally got the jackpot and destroyed my electric engines and repair was needed....but 5 minutes after that...they had an direct hit on my front deck that drowned everyone in my ship!

Arg. Sorry to hear it. Well, it's better to get it early in the game than later on. The channel (canal) is a bad place to be detected. When I get detected there, my policy is to dive to PD, and travel at ahead full for 10 minutes or so to really clear the datum. This seems to work. If it's a plane that detects you, run at PD for the rest of the day because they will continue to search in that area, and will track you. I'm jealous though of your drawn-out demise; mine are always instantaneous.
