I don't really get why you have to be at 200m when waiting on a convoy, I made my 2nd attempt yesterday (GWX ofcourse) on a convoy on my ... now 7th patrol, July 1940. I lay myself at 70m and when the (what it sounded like) two destroyers infront of the convoy had passed at 160 degrees and 40 degress I went up to periscope depth. They didn't ping me at all...besides they don't ping all the time do they...or do they send out a ping once in a while or what?
What really pisses me off is that I ended up sinking 0!!!!!!!! ships
I saw Nelson Battleship in the convoy but way to far away so I saw I was perfectly lined up to pop a C3 cargo, or large cargo whatever they are called nowadays
Anyway unfortunantely I had my stern pointed to the center of the convoy so I tried to pick of a medium tanker with my stern torpedo. I shoot it away and ofcourse Bernard had loaded the stern full of steamers
so a couple standing on the bow of a passenger/cargo doing that Titanic thing spotted my torp and screamed so loud the convoy went zigzagging...and my two electrical missed the C3!!!!!!!!
Yesterday I liked steamer torps in a noobsih way but now I hate them!!, can't see why I ever used them...
Then I went away with the external view to check if the steamer would hit anything and it would have hitted a flower corvette if that to wouldn't have detected it!!! grr.
Then when I came back to my sub I noticed I had only come down to 40m and I heard intensive pinging and a destroyer racing for me and I went
and ordered vanziniger fahrt and luckily I escaped...but the other flower corvette above me pounded me for an hour with DC...but in the end I escaped without a scratch...thank god for deep seas.
Will do a 2nd attack this evening. And I shall sink the Nelson ! ARR!!!
ops this got into quiet a story...:hmm:
