Haven't been up to much lately, as I took a break due to corruption of my last patrol save files. However, upon my return...
May 1941. The Hood has been sunk. The Bismarck soon after. We're on our way north from a patrol near Freetown. Heading towards Gibraltar, we note an incoming task force, heading NW from Gibraltar. Intercepting, we find three destroyers, a carrier, and a Renown class battleship. Having screwed up my calculations, I eye-balled the shots and hit the Renown with two G7a eels, and moments later she ran into my the Two G7e (T2) electrics that I sent ahead. Slowly sinking, but staying afloat, I fired off my two rear eels. They both miss, as the battleship's engines fail due to the previous damage. At a dead stop, she waited while I dove, dodged DCs from the destroyers and and reloaded an eel. After the reload, I returned to parascope depth and finished her off. We then dove to 150m, went silent, and went on our way. Revenge was ours!
Couldn't help but think that we'd get a lot of Renown for a Renown. (Sorry.
