I had an EXCITING damn time in my first cruise when I stepped from a type II to a type VII! I had to patrol right off the S coast of Ireland...and made a couple of attacks on a convoy...
Then decided, with my last 4 torps, to go poke around near Port(land?) on the south coast of England...
On the way in, I got frisky and
surfaced near an elco (PT) boat... 3 rounds from the deck gun, and he went BLAMMO! Then, got buzzed by A/C...
Submerged, evaded them...then saw a DD heading for where I'd engaged the Elco boat..so I put a fish into her port beam, sinking her...
The RAF was out in force looking for us, but lost 3 or 4 Hurricanes to my skilled gunners...then got all the way to the harbor, ran into an ASW net
oops...then said, ah the hell with it...and lobbed my fish into the harbor, crippling one T2, sinking one small merchant, and sinking a C2... then made the run for home. On the way out, got shot at by shore batteries
that I couldn't hurt with the deck gun...and got strafed by some A/C a few times... shot down another one...
I think they were po'ed that I'd sunk ships IN a harbor, dropped a DD, shot down multiple hurricane fighters, and smashed a PT boat...
