For several hoirs they dropped the hell on me, doing moderate damage to my U-boat, nothing too serious, but they managed to destroy forward batteries, leaving my ship with only 25% power left...
Escorts finally left with no more DC, but keep pinging me, forcing me to stay submerged...
24 hours later, trying every kind of maneuver possible, I was forced to surface in the middle of their search pattern with almost no power left...
I manned the deck gun, but after 2 direct hits I preferred to save my men's life and surrendered the boat!

:hmm: ....now what you just related is exactly the situation I was talking about above. I haven't run into it yet..... Probably because I am playing at a maximum TC of 256 and I'm still on Patrol5 in May 40.....but I could see this coming sometime soon after the fall of France.
