My last patrol, I had to reload the externals and went to the coast of west Ireland. I thought I found a nice safe scenic and quiet spot so I let the crew go to work. My Flak guns were manned and ready just in case.
About half way through the process I was under attack from above. It was nasty. Managed to abort the loading and throw some lead at the unidentified flying ship. That bird was dropping some big **** at me!!!! Got lucky! No major damage...
Then the bird came back! Went with the full flank/hard turn surface maneuver and narrowly escaped with no damage. That bird **** was so close to my head I swear I had to duck...then I saw a real big splash right behind me! My Flak gunners were as bad as usual. How could they miss? Managed to make it to my patrol grid and finally headed to Spain for refuel and supply.
Drinking plenty of beer now that I'm back on land. Heading out on my fourth patrol soon....with plenty of beer.
U-49 out.
Cheers
