...and render a Final Salute with our 20mm. This was a brilliant, but flawed decision...
The EXACT same thing happened to me a couple of days ago! Allow me to explain:

I was on my 7th patrol in a IIA, and spotted this passenger/cargo ship near Scapa Flow. OK, ended up wasting 3(!) eels all told on the critter - 2 were duds apparently - with one hitting and exploding. The ship tilted a bit, but continued on its merry way nevertheless, forcing me to resort to my trusted 20mm Flak gun... Well got the bastage finally firing at extreme close range, but almost sunk meself as well when the bugger went up like a bloody Saturn V! Still, that was S/S Sea Starlet finished

Got back home in one piece w/ my hull damage at 87% or so however. Yep, gotta love GWX2.0
