I just did a patrol of AN 81 and picked up a big convoy, fun times begin.
I hit a transport, then I stern shot into a V-W dd, then I had to take on the next V-W and sink it. This left the back of the convoy to me.
As I went in I got a large cargo ship, when the corvettes started after me they were dropping DC's in the wrong place and I was watching them, suddenly one has an explosion and is dead in the water.
This left two dd's and two corvettes so I went in again, this time a passanger/cargo. The escorts came after me but this I decided enough and left. The reason the first corvette blew when I went external view. MINES!!!
What brush with death.
But yes sometimes it is nice to even the odds a little. Convoy before this I sunk a armed trawler and a dd before going in.
