This was played out on GW 1.1. Copied from my SH3 Commander Personnel File:
Patrol Dates Ships Sunk (Merchant/Warship) Tonnage (Merchant/Warship) Comments
6 31AUG40 - 10SEP40 (11 days) 5 (1/4) 20625 (6450/14175) U-Boat damaged (
H.I. 1.01%)
Yes, that's right. 1% integrity. It was a while ago but I recall it being a convoy defended by a few cruisers and tons of smaller escorts i.e. corvettes and frigates. Something possessed me to surface and man the guns for most of the engagement
In keeping with the spirit of realism, once I returned to base I declared my trusty U-54 "written off" and purchased a new submarine.
