Even in 39'  |
To my own astonishment, I made it once in 1939 from right to left into Western Approaches. Also with a IXB.
Needless to say, I thought I could do it again in januari 1940.
I was in the middle of a minefield and just hadn't hit anything the first time?
I was hit hard for about 1,5 hours with over six DD's around. I eventually had to blow ballast and surrender (thanks to SH3Commander). I ofcourse was blown to bits first hehe.
I learned my lesson
And yes, you hit a mine.
