I'm not a native speaker so no lenghty write up. Also, I'm not very experienced, so I don't know if what I want to talk about is really that special. It's 1941, me in a VIIB, west of Gibraltar. I tried to shadow a convoy but kept bumping into some old 4-stacker DD (well, it looked old to me). He noticed me several times, bombing, surafce, race forward, bump into it again... several hours in total. Finally, I took some damage. At one point I ordered to blow ballast, had my electrics on flank, repair crews frantically running around with hoses, the boat slipping down past 180m and still dodging the DD. I got really pissed, I have loading times long enough for me to take a shower and make tea. And drink some of it. And just then... he ran out of depth charges! :rotfl:He still kept wheeling around me, even though he ran out of pellets.
I got really scared* though, so I took my wounded boat and raced back home with the tail between my legs. Well, if you can race on one diesel.
* Yes, I'm actually scared when depth charged. As I am when I sneak in Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth or race at 160kph through a forest on a tarmac road no wider than my car in Richard Burns Rally. Game immersion ftw.
