The game loaded fine.Whew
Ok I started for the door and noticed 3 war ships headed in , so I fired a spread of 3 torpedos at the 2 parked cruisers. Then I backed under the passenger ship to see what happened. Well with in a couple minutes there were 2 VW , a flower ,PT inside with me and of course the 2 were still out side. The ships inside got in positions facing the middle of the harbor ,one VW on each side with the flower watching the door ,AI surprised me very cordinated.Well I backed around to behind the troop figuring I could surface behind it and open fire on it with my deck gun. I got behind it fine and started shelling on it when all hell broke lose. Apparently I had been drifting back and exposed the aft of my ship. Every thing in the port open fire on me inclueding one of the cruisers. The troop ship caught most of the incoming fire and went down very quickly but I didnt like being behind it now losing my kill to FF. I decide it was time to leave this party so I sumerged and started out around the north end of the troop ship. All was going well untill I fully cleared the troop the sub came to a grinding halt , I had hit the bottom

. I was stuck stuck too I raised my periscope and it was dry not a foot out the tube tryed backing up and foward nothing. GEEZ ..... I took a quick peep though the scope and apparently they heard me or maybe my tower broke the surface because black smoke was poring out there pipes and they were starting to move

,I was up the creek . So I figured :hmm:

I was going to have to shoot my way out

. I went to the TDC and done about the fastest work I ever done there and let 4 fish go . 2 on the closest VW one on the other one and one for the flower. At the same time I blew the balist and full crewed the engine room and gave the flank ahead order.If my fish missed I would need to be moving hopfully I would be to close to the DD for there big guns.U-53 Broke the surface as soon as it did I unmaned the tower there was no need to get my guys shot:rotfl:. What happened next was a blur but the VWs went down,well one didnt sink but the crew left their stations. My conning tower and deck gun took a beating and even the cruiser opened fire on me but luck was with me , I got back under with nothing in the harbor to chase me. I think the flower was still floating but it did come out after me. My batteries died about 18 km from dover so I surfaced and high tailed it out of there. I finished the patrol with 27,??? tons ,should have been 37,000 but I lost a kill to a fuji or dido :rotfl:

I got a bunch of screenshots from my escape run Ill post them when I get home tonight.
