Was on patrol heading out to AM41. So far I have bagged a British freighter and a british tug. now the storm kicks up. The night becomes black with rain and clouds. I get a radio report from BDU that a convoy is just 30km north of my position! slowly I feel them out. Hydrophone says we should be comming right into their midst. I scan the horizon but in this worst of storms visibility is measured in feet. There was almost no light and I have never seen the sky so black. Just then a destroyer 50ft on my starboard side light me up. How did I not see him!? Too late to react I order a crash dive.............I never made it. U-47 lost...all hands lost.
WOW this sim is addictive
