I don't have a brother, so this is a good start at least. I'm glad you liked the post. I too have a twisted mind, but for now I'm on best behaviour because I'm not the most experienced member

At least the crippled ship sound didn't happen only to me, so I'll try to watch out for it in future. At least one ship did sink in the convoy - I heard the same sounds behind the main group, and later when on the surface I heard several loud explosions in the distance, from the same direction. Satisfying to know the weather was doing the work that I could not

Btw, I did fire a spread at the BB (how could I not at least try?). I've hit ships in heavy fog before, at the edge of visual range. Difficult but not impossible with some swift manoeuvring. However the Nelson was just too close. One torp exploded about 30m beyond the ship, the other 3 carried on till they ran out of steam. Oh well. Some excitement after 11 days with no contacts at all, if nothing else! My first ever proper experience with a DD and depth charges too, following that attempt (Yes, I've had SH3 since release day and only now met my first angry DD in a campaign - I'm a bit slow at this game... )

I'm still tracking the convoy and can still hear the BB, but almost into the North Channel now so will have to abandon it. 9 days of the same awful weather is driving me crazy
