I tried entering Loch Ewe today, approaching the entrance at PD and silent running. I must have got too close to an armed trawler, because he turned in exactly my direction. I pointed my rear in his direction and set a torp to magnetic, below the depth of his keel. I went full ahead to get his attention, then waited until he was only 300m away and let out the torp. He blew up in a massive fireball. This got the attention of a second armed trawler.
He went straight for me as well. This time I put my engines on all back, pointing my bow in his face, attempting to do the same trick as before. I must have got nervous because I let thos one rip at about 400m and he managed to avoid it by the skin of his teeth.
I then kept turning in circles, out-turning him. He couldn't get a run over me to drop his charges. I got another solution, guessed his speed and fired another torp when he was 90 AOB. I missed by like a meter in front of him. I tried the same thing again, and missed by the same margin behind his rear. At this point I was out of torps, wondering how I'm going to get away with this in 25m of water. But the trawler steamed off north... and I got out of there at silent running.
Did I scare him or something? The bastard survived three very close shots indeed.
