July 1940. Kiel. Just finished my 11th patrol in the type IIA U-6.
One ore carrier and a medium merchant sunk in the area of AN55 for ~12000GRT (4 short range impact pistol, 1 dud). Have noted increased RN ASW activity but bad weather helped me to avoid them and kept the RAF grounded.
Have finally upgraded to a type VIIB
We've sortied for patrol 12 but have only gone as far as the Kiel breakwater. Wow the VII is fast compared to the type II. Doing 14kts at ahead standard. She's so quick and I was so busy admiring the boat I scraped it along side the Kriegsmarine pilot boat taking me out of the harbour
Luckily no damage. Just a dent or two, some scratched paint and many red faces. I'll never live that down.
Do I need all these crew members? I notice there's not enough beds like in the type II, so where to keep the extra's - the torp rooms or the inactive engine?
Looking forward to going into action tonight once I get home from RL.
