I tried a couple of things during the 3rd patrol:

1. I entered Lerwick naval base at night for reconnaissance and wanted to send a contact report via the h.sie Wolfpack Mod, to see if the harbour would be attacked by German Airplanes. However, my contact report was never sent. I guess, it actually only works with convoys in open waters. I also wonder, if the German planes would have attacked at night anyway ...

2. I torpedoed a unarmed steamer but it didn't sink. So, I positioned myself right next to it, to attract enemy airplanes to drop bombs on my position, perhaps, hitting the steamer instead and sinking it. I did this for a whole day and the planes actually scored one direct hit on the steamer but it still didn't sink. After being damaged by close falling bombs after submerging each time, I had to leave the area with darkness falling and the air attacks ceasing ...

Any of you having similar experiences?
