I came across a taskforce in the BF grid just outside of Lorient, I had just got out of lorient then get a message about a taskforce and notice its in the same area im in now! A carrier and 5 destroyers. I was in the right position just in front of it about 6000 yards, so just turn of the motor and laid in wait for it to get within range. Sunk it will 5 torps. Easiest taskforce sinking ever. Have attacked other taskforces in other careers some ive been lucky, where others all i could do is watch them limp past me doing 20knots or more and no chance of chasing them.

I prefer to take on a taskforce than a huge convoy anyday as the thrill is more intense.
