Presently roaming round Scapa having fun in a type 7, Dec 39 running GWX.

Did this before and it was a doddle getting in but no targets.

This time though driven into a subnet, been hounded twice now by 3 destroyers that seem to know exactly where I am and are doing an overlapping circle wherever I go, I have minor damage to my flack mounting which is amazing the pounding I've been getting.
Currently trying desperately to throw them off after putting 2 fish into a revenge class, she's listing heavily and about to go down (I hope!) and a destroyer with my stern shot.

I'm trying desperately to reload but have to keep going silent to avoid the destroyers. I tried parking it on the bottom next to the sunken DD which still has upperworks showing but it doesn't work so I'm going for open water. Its daylight now, I've got about 40% on battery and the Co2 meters rising. I daren't surface even if I get away from the DD's in daylight so I'm going to be sweating some if I can hold on for darkness, thats if I live long enough.
I want to reload go beyond the listing BB towards the docks, there's a troopship waiting for me next to another moored DD.
NO save games reloaded although plenty if required.......... I would be banjaxed by now without external view and direction indicator though at 70 odd % realism.
BTW I've only ever fired a salvo of 4 torps before on 2 occasions, both times 2 go bang about half way to the target, I was set at 6 meters firing at the Revenge this time in Scapa so maybe I could have hit bottom but doubt it. Previously was against a Dido in open water though, again 2 went off en route, the Dido lit the afterburner and ran ahead of the other 2 after the explosions. I was in late 39 both times and was running impact triggers.......... baffled
