I want to add mine!
12-2-1939
I also got my first BB with GWX2.0 I came into a convoy, 16 ships in all, 1 C&D class, BB revenge, then the rest miscellaneous merchants, 2 being ore ships and 1 a whale factory ship. Fired all 4 forward torps at revenge (Ps this is night time) 1st hit the bow, 2nd hit right below the B turret, Lots of explosions and my crew yelled "shes going down!!" so possibly a magazine hit?!!! The other 2 torps also found their mark. After watching the beautiful explosions I dove to about 80 meters. the destroyer didnt put up much of a search, I rose back to periscope depth just to see the DD crossing in front of me range about 830, Fired the 1 forward torp that reloaded, It struck right in the bow, and the DD steamed away at 28knots, but then sunk a few minutes later. That left the rest of the convoy for me to get at. The worst part was the reloading, because the crew was fatigued and refusing to work. Also since I was in rough seas I couldnt use my gun.
Total out come:
1 c&d DD = 1375 tons
1 BB Revenge= 31000tons
1 small freighter= 2228tons
1Whale Factory=12016
1 Intermediate tanker 3489 tons
1 Ore carrier = 8084 tons
1 Damaged ore carrier ( stupid thing didnt sink!!!)
Total 58192tons,
100% realism, The rough seas contributed to the some of the merchants sinking with just 1 torp. My best patrol ever! BOy was i ever surprised to see the BB in smack dab in the middle of that convoy, at first I thought it was misidentified, or a glitch, and I couldnt believe it when I got actually got credit for it!
