Well Thilo, ive joined your club , yes i met my first convoy, i was on the surface and when the searchlight hit me it was the first i knew i was in deep trouble with the cry "weve been spoted sir"( boy was that an understatement!!!) the frigate had a sixth sence, i did manage to sink two of the convoy, then with a resounding BING!!! and 4 splashs my sub went into a death dive and yes that was the end of U-47 having completed only 3 missions. OH HUM
