I guess I was too close for his guns or he didnt see me at the time because no shots were fired.... yikes, scared the hell out me. Dive! Managed to get away but still, that was close. (come to think of it, I should have stayed surfaced and gone to flank, I could have lost him in the fog before he made his turn... next time.)

The exact same thing happened on my last patrol! I was in a IID, winter '41 off the Irish coast. Woke me up fast.
