I was starting out my last patrol out of Wilhelmshaven.

To to a TC problem and my own ineptitude, I managed to rear end a German Trawler in the bay.

Hey! not my fault, I blew the horn!

While I received no damage, the trawler's butt end burst into flames.

Evidently Trawlers don't like being butt bumped and it sunk pretty fast.

Ut Oh, this aint gonna look to BDU.

So I decided to reload this mission and pay better attention to my TC.

I hit escape and ended my mission. At the end of mission screen I found out that I was awarded the Iron Cross Second Class. The patrol only lasted 30 minutes and resulted in my ramming a German ship and sinking it.

No negative renown and the Iron Cross. Boy does BDU not like German Trawlers or what?

I was surprised that my sub received no damage. I wonder if I can ram-sink british fishing boats and save the ammo? :rotfl:
