So... first patrol with OLc GUI GWX2 100%
Was sent to the ED97 (Operation Paukenschlag) ... with my VIIc
... not the best choice imho for my boat...
Went there and found a Med Tanker on my way there...
Guess I am just too unpatient... well he saw me... (GWX 2.0's AI is really unfair at this point! ... is there a "fix" possible?)
Well I did my best... but it was zigging and zagging and I missed with the first torp.
I then sneaked my way to it till I was around 800 and fired a "quick shot" as I knew his speed... I estimated his AOB roughly and good enough
... and distance was not a problem ..
aimed for the stern section and hit it right there
shot again and missed... I don't know what I did wrong... I guess I missed bow-wise as it slowed down and I forget to take that into consideration
so... it slowed down..... so I could not calculate the speed that easy at 6x zoom so I just estimated it to 2kts and shot at his bow and again hit 100% where I aimed (yeah I know should have gone to 1x and use the 15° scratch mark... but hey at 600m I could not miss
)
All shots were done with TIII torps as contact torps on 5m as sea was a bit rough.
All hits were exploding so I guess I also estimated the hit angle right.
My problem is just that I am spottet too early......
I hear my WO tell me "enemy spottet" and in the same second I hear the first salvo of enemy fire go by....
... or hit me
