I just escaped death in '41. Managed to get consistent hits with the new GUI so I thought I'd try a career patrol. Contact report: Large convoy, heading NNE speed 7knts! Flank speed! *cue Das Boot music* The weather is horrid, thunderstorm and low visibility, but I press the attack as its the first contact after 2 weeks at sea.
I can't see anything, the rain is lashing those in the conning tower ferociously. "Ship spotted, short range!" I thought, "at last, a merchant". Was ist das? Mein got! ALLLLLLLAAAARRRMMMMM! Teife!" The spotlight illuminates the boat and shells start falling around us, I've driven right into the middle of the convoy! Spent 1 hour 30 minutes evading the escorts who gave me a few close calls. Not having the external camera really makes the boat feel claustrophobic! I have yet to sink a single ship, bloody weather!
Can't imagine how much work the OLC GUI must have taken, all I can say is bloody good job, have a beer on me when we get back to Brest!
