Reengaged the convoy about 9:30 that evening sinking a tramp steamer that was lagging behind to bait the c&d back. It worked
She closed to within 1200 meters or so and opened her belly to my stern tubes while hunting for me so i sent a t2 at 2.1 meters set for impact. A few minutes later we were steaming on the surface for the main group. Sunk 2 more Large merchants and 1 modern tanker before i ran out of eels. The weather didn't cooperate so i wasen't able to clean up with my deck gun.
Not In Balz league but its my most successful mission ever:

U-420 position grid BE57
Torpedoes left:0
Tankers sunk:2
Cargoships sunk:7
Warships sunk:2
Total Tonage: 99803
U420 will be at sea untill she can find weather suitable to expend the 66 4 inch shells she has left to get 197 tons to reach that magical level. Hopefully somewhere along the line of her 4400kilometer route home mother nature and the enemy will cooperate.
