It was the most spectacular timing, too. I'd just torp'd a battleship and the escorts were looking for me as I started a deep dive. I just happed to be looking at my handywork with the external cam when the Luftwaffe showed up. Most surprisingly, I say.
Do you ever get your radio op to send in contact reports? The reason I ask is I had torpedoed a vessel in the North Sea and she would not sink. As I had no torpedoes left I sent in a contact report and waited around. First, two Condors flew over and circled a couple of times then flew off. Later a single Junkers bomber arrived and dropped two bombs on the crippled ship, immediately breaking her back with the second bomb. It was very spectacular and I find it amazing how these things are written in to the game play.
