Got my first GWX 100k patrol in my first career with my XXI in the Caribean. late 1944, In the gap between Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti. A convoy of 8 tankers escorted by only 2 DDs. Half of the tankers are Panamanian, and UNARMED. Boy I missed my deck gun. Too bad I only have 9 torps left after dispatching the DDs. But with my previous kills during this patrol, My merchant total comes to 103K.
And I could have end the campaign without a scratch. Unfortunatedly in my excited haste my boat got too close to a sinking tanker and damage my hull. End the patrol with HI at 74%. Ever since 1943, I havn't had so much fun hunting.
Good hunting to all.
