I'm thinking "I know there's a ship numpty, I can see it!" So I carry on shelling the ship. The next thing the WO shouts is that the ship is under attack.It's 1940 I can see that the Merchant is unarmed. Just as I'm thinking about throwing the WO overboard, shells start exploding all around. I look in the direction that they are coming from and see a destroyer hurtling towards me, shooting all cannons.
30 seconds later and I'm dead. 
Now when my crew are using their deck gun, I'm scanning the horizon looking for trouble. |
I had almost the same experience. I fired a couple of torpedoes to a couple of Tankers and they were on fire. I was getting restless so I ordered the boat to the surface to finish them off with my deck gun. The only problem was that as I was breaking to the surface a couple of planes were already above me. I didn't even have time to man the flak guns or crash dive. Four bombs all direct hits and we went down again
