It's late February 1940,U-47 had only just escaped from a couple of Destroyers after attacking a convoy in the Irish sea(Sinking a Freigther and damaging a medium Cargo)when the BdU reported yet another convoy!I was pleased when I saw there were no escorts at all,So I decided to attack(With only 2 stern torpedo's left).I was going at ahead 1/3 in between the convoy(All big juicy large merchants and tankers when I suddenly saw something I didn't expect..The HMS Rodney!Without escorts!

I decided to fire my torpedo's at a merchant and get the hell out,1 of them missed(And then the Rodney dissapeared..)so I made a dumb descision:Let's finish him off with the deck gun(I am still new to GWX and only after fireing a couple of shots I realised how useless it was,I was paralell with the merchant when I suddenly heard alot of bangs and saw tracers all over the sky..

The Rodney was back,Now,The funny thing is,I made him destroy 2 of his own merchants by being paralell with them,Too bad I didn't get any credit for them.
