as i turned U-122 and charged right into the escort, 10km 8km 6km...., i began to wonder "what the hell am i doing?"
but my aim was true and from 10km out, i began to pummel the tommy with high velocity death from my deck gun
when i got within 3 km, he was already a burning wreak and it only took 4 or 5 more shells to finish off his sorry excuse of a ship. 
so this begs the question, im a brave or just stupid?
and also, could this ever happen in real life (i highly doubt it) |
Man, You are one lucky Son of a Gun.
There is no way in Hades that you would have gotten away with that in the real world. You needed the best of all deck gunners and it still ain't gonna happen. That DD would build up steam, crank on the speed, turn on a dime, and start shootin'. And if that didn't finish you, the Skipper would have rammed your arse.............
