With SH3Gen and UWAC I had a very "Das Boot" moment these days, not related to convoys, but I still most enjoyed it. I was in the North Sea, en route to an AM mission grid, and I though to check the site of a u-boot displayed on the map by SH3Gen. It was not there, but later, after I resumed the course toward the patrol grid, I met it close enough to presume it was the one I was searching. When the WO first reported "Schiff gesichtet", I went to the bridge and the weather was rough, with heavy seas and waves set to seasonal via SH3 Commander - they were really high, with fog and heavy clouds. Then I saw the other sub, at medium range. Both subs (mine and the other) were popping up on waves, like in the movie.
I felt an urge to shout THOMSEN, IT'S THOMSEN.
Very Das Boot, indeed. The only - minor - setback: it was a type VIIC/41. And the year was 1939, just the second patrol in the campaign.
