I tried a convoy attack in my TypeIXD2

not recommended,it was going swimingly till I had to crash dive to evade the last remaining escort(It was 1944 by the way)the old clunking bus just took so long to get deep and when it got there it handled like a drunk hippo in a bath of treacle,I was easy to locate and the end was never in doubt

I'm still gutted

I broke my golden rule with typeIX's in the late war period,Leave convoys alone!
