i saw a convoy off the coast of ireland, assumed it was british, moved in ahead flank for the kill, it was completely unguarded, the entire time i was second guessing but i kept reassuring myself, i got in close about 500m, they still hadnt spotted me! i marked my targets, there was only 5 of them... perfect, 4 tubes, finish the last with the deckgun... then to my horror, just as i pressed torpedo los, ITS IRISH!!!!!!!!! the friggin magnetic pistol failed exploding 50 m before it hit a cargo vessel... i stayed witht he convoy for a bit, and out ahead of me a british destroyer was moving in at 30kts, i guess the irish radioed in saying (this ******* tried to torpedo us! help!:rotfl

but when the DD was firing hit inadvertantly smoked 2 of the cargos, infact sinking the one i almost blew up! feeling angered by his blatent disregard for innocent life, i stuck close to on eof the ships, most of his volleys were now missing, i manned the deckgun and begun firing on him, im pretty sure the irish were firing too, because i kept hearing more gun rounds close by firing than my crew can load, and due to my crappy rig i couldnt be above deck to watch the chaos, but in the end before the DD got within 1000m my guncrew destroyed it.

lesson for today... DONT ASSUME UNGUARDED GROUPS OF SHIPS ARE BRITISH!

and stick with neutral ships for cover!

and last but not least... dont trust your life on magnetic pistols... they're bloody rubbish!

Ive hit the bottom of the Mediterranian at 250 metres in my VIIC and brought that babe back up, and still made it back to La Spezia. Ive sunk more destroyers than I have merchants...youll wish you never sailed into U-87s hunting grounds. When you pull into port, dont lull yourself into a false sense of security, your mines and subnets are just a petty challenge for my crew and I.
