GWX 2.1 - Patrolling in the Black Sea and came across a small convoy with 3 destroyers. Sent in a contact report (actually 4 or 5 - more chance of it being received and an SOP for me) and set for the attack. Sank all three destroyers and was setting for the merchants when another 3 destroyers came for me. Looks as if they were escorting another convoy and came to help their buddies. To cut a long story short, four Stukas came out of the blue and sank two of the destroyers as well as disrupting their D/C attacks on me.
They not only saved my butt, they also gave me an unprotected second convoy full of fat merchants to sink. Beers for the pilots were on us when we returned to port!
