thanks!

the outlook for a good patrol was quite poor when the weather went sour. fortunately it improved just hours before intercepting that convoy.

Im confident that another u-boat was attacking this convoy because lagging behind the convoy was those four stragglers. i only had enough torpedos loaded to bag two of three of them... too bad about the dud! ill settle for two.

the third one didnt look like he was in the proper shape to last too long.

in keeping with historical accuracy i will only load externals when the sea calms down.

Im not sure whether or not i want to head back to port and wrap up a great 1x patrol or head for corrientes and try to get ahold of some extra torpedoes! :hmm:

if i head for home it will no doubt take me another couple of days to get there... perhaps three days at good speed. that would mean the total patrol length would be about 8 days... seems a little unrealistic. but i guess for a VII boat that ventured into the Keltische See and got lucky it would be about right.

im tempted to go get in touch with a resupply ship
