Guten Tag,

I've got myself a little bit of a situation here. I was on my way home after a pretty successful patrol with only 1 forward torpedo left. Along the way, I ran into a convoy. Since it was there, I thought I might as well use my last eel on a small merchant or something, just in case I got lucky. Well, I'm not sure if this is lucky or not...but in the middle of the convoy was Revenge-class battleship. He crossed 800 meters off my bow, so I said, "What the Hell..." and let him have it. Last torpedo, a steamer, set for a fast keel shot...

I nailed him! Hard! But not hard enough. I stopped him dead in the water, but he ain't sinking. I spent two hours playing hide'n'seek with the escorts until they finally left, but that Revenge just won't sink. She's listing, that's all. I have nothing left except my deck gun and flak, but that Revenge will shred my VII-C like a can opener if I try that.

So...think she'll sink or just taunt me through my periscope from 1500 meters away?
