:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:OMG that's so funny.But something similar has happened to me yesterday I think. I was cruising twards my patrol point somewhere in the AM grid.I was going along the east coast of England since i usuall get a lot of merchants there.I had found a large cargo ship and was tailing it unseen.I fired 2 eels at it but for some reason that bastard changed course right at the last moment or maybe i got my calculations wrong ,and the torpedoes hit the ship about 1 cm inward from the stern and 1 cm inward from the bow,so the b**ch didn't sink.Then from no-where 2 V&W's came along with 3 Armed trawlers.I had no chance submerged since the water was not really deep and DC's would make me mince meat.So i quiclky changed course and fired my aft-eel at one of the V&w's.I was lucky as it probably hit him in the engine and he stoped and couldn't change course.Then he drifted between me and the working destroyer ,and to my surprise the working one pounded the drifting one untill he completely sank it.Then 2 of the trawlers and that idiot merchant that got me here in the first place got in front of him and they too were blown to pieces.I managed to "out-run" the DD after miraculously destroying it's engine with the deck-gun but my hull was about 15 percent ,all rooms were pretty much criticall had flooding everywhere and escaped with only 19 men.
Note that i was in a VII .
