I just returned from a WAW patrol, got a radio report of a convoy, changed course to intercept. On the surface, at night in the horizon all sorts of flares and lighting effects were going off. Closer we got you could see the distant explosions. Very cool! anyway I dived the boat to let the convoy come toward me. The escorts were pinging away like mad and we were detected. Got the crap DC'd out of the boat, using the lrt mod we sustained massive flooding, systems damage etc etc. Barely snuck away from the escorts at 244m with repairs going like crazy. Once surfaced I could no longer dive, not even to pd as the boat went down uncontrollably from all the water. Forced to say surfaced for two days(61 hours repair time) during which the RAF found us twice. Barely made it back - all thanks to an AI wolfpack.
