I just finished my Patrol #29. On my way back from EJ98 via Port of Spain and back past the Azores on the east side, BDU radios that a large enemy convoy is steaming westbound at 12kts in DG65. All ahead full is ordered to intercept in DG64, which we do just past midnight May 25,1943. We sink 5 US warships- 2 Hunt IIs, a Corvette, and 2 DEBuckleys and one Liberty merchant right at the start. All internal torps are used so it's time to breakoff and reload. At 07:30 the same day we lock horns again with the same convoy appx. 100km to the west. We sank the last warship - a DESomers. Plus a T3, C2, and another Liberty merchant. 2 merchants were crippled by torpedos and had to be finished off with the deckgun. That's 11 ships that won't be returning to NY City. And, I feel good my crew of the U-181 did their job well....very well.

So seeing this is only a simulation of that bygone era, I don't mind playing the German side.
