Photo recon mission turned hairy....
So I tried the photo recon quick mission. Made my approach undetected, maneuvered between a live of CVs and merchants. I photographed them all, then attacked. Torpedoed and sank two merchants and two carriers. Began my egress. While leaving I torpedoed a third merchant.
After leaving the harbor I went to PD and did a check. Didn't see anything, so I surfaced. Too close - there were two DD back towards the bay that saw me and gave chase.
I sank the first one with gun fire while taking minimal damage.
The second one got a lucky hit on my diesels and I slowed to about 12 knots. I was firing the deck gun into her as fast as she would reload, but the DD was going so fast she side-swiped me.
I guess this is a bit too close! I was actually blowing idividual bits off the DD. I watch the crew fall as my shells struck home. Pretty awesome.
She fell away after a bit like this and then blew up. I added to DDs to my tally (2CVs, 3 mechants plus the DDs) and limped out to make repairs.
(I love how the look outs are just staring off into space while the flaming DD slides (and I mean screechingly literally) along the port side.)
Here are a few choice pics:
