Running Dark waters
Map contacts and cam on, manual targeting and all other difficulty enabled.

Started in September 1939.

I have been on patrol for 25 days, sunk two trawlers by gunfire and in a two day convoy battle, sunk a Queen Elizabeth Class Battleship (report will come at conclusion of patrol) in Western approaches, quite close to Britain. I have not had one aircraft encounter, which surprised me. Or do they come in later? Figured I'd see at least one lol.

Also a Battleship escorting a convoy with 3 destroyers? I assume this is historical? I know surface raiders were a concern esp early in war and seems like I remember reading about battleships and cruisers escorting convoys. I encountered them in Grid AM 815 based on contact report.
