One of these days, you might hear I've gone to Penang! (I'll try to avoid the Conning Tower of Death!)
Tschuss!

You can get good tonnage even with GWX, this happened to me yesterday starting a new career in 1939 VIIB. I head out to ordered patrol Grid BE31, on the way there i came across two taskforces!
First one in
AN13 with the HOOD!!! and another BB. I sunk the hood, & evaded a very poor depth charge attack. Couple of days later i come across another Taskforce in
AM35 - this TF is always around heads from the Gib straight up around ireland then back again, if you know where its heading you could probably sink this TF in every patrol :rotfl:I sunk the Carrier and evaded another poor escort attack.
So this last attack was a bit of a cheat as i knew where to ly in wait for it. But the Hood taskforce i never knew about, plus another BB was travelling with her, once i sunk the hood I left.
Oh yeah notice my speed - 6 knts, this is early in the war attacking a TF at 6 knots would be suicide later on, but early in the war you can risk it. Escorts only pinged me after i hit the Hood/Carrier.
First patrol 1939, tonnage sunk 72000.
