I probably had invested about 1.5 hours of my time in this ship. As I watched it disappear, I truly had a sense of disappointment that an actual U Boat captain would have had in 1939. At least I don't have a real crew to explain that to.

I can understand you, I am too in my first patrol and I spent hours chasing neutral Norwegian ships... this adds a lot to immersion (no pun intended
)
I could not believe my eyes when I saw at last the Red Ensign... I spent two torpedoes for a small merchant, just to be sure not to miss my first sinking!!!
