I sailed out of lorient at the end of november with my IX-B boat and i headed to U.S coast ignoring one convoy in the middle of the atlantic because i wanted all torpedoes availables when i arrived to my patrol grid in New york waters.
There i waited 5 days submerged at day and surfacing at night for recharge batteries until U.S enters in the war and the green shipping turned to red.
It is a carnage... several single ships withouth convoys or scorts travelling alone in routes in and out of new york harbour, i sunk 7 ships using torpedoes and deck gun with good weather. and i still have 14 torpedoes in my stores.
I have to be careful because there are shallow waters and i saw the first catalina plane after 3 days of operations.(two bombs but missed)
Also my fuel is near to 50 % and i have to save fuel for the return journey.
thanks GWX
