As a Noob

6 completed patrols (GWX)
On surface (English Channel)
I receive radio message of convoy heading in my direction
At same time my watch spot destroyer at 140 degrees
Dive ! !
Sonar reports "Warship 150 and closing long range"
I'm never going to outrun/lose this thing in 25m depth

Aft torpedo.......hits her towards rear of hull :p
She breaks off attack run......disengages alltogether......awash up to rear gun turret in a couple of minutes..........still moving slowly away from me

I check periscope/sonar.......4000m+ from badly damaged Destroyer

Think to meself
Lost a few mins there........flank speed on surface (First real convoy attack )
check ........Destroyer now has rear turret barrels on water surface

Surface......
I check victim through binoculars......Flashes :hmm:
See the shells screaming towards me.......Rear hull damage......
DIVE......Too late....2 more shells impact....No propulsion.......2 more shells
BLACK....Abandon mission
LOL
