Kaluens,

Was at girlfriends house the other night so started a career on my laptop in 44

, with a XXI. 1st patrol in tanker alley I run into a 8 DD screened convoy packed with big stuff and this... the 1st time I have seen a liner this big that wasnt flying a spanish flag!! Think it was the HMT Antiquania? Cant remember the exact name so ubers speak up pls! Believe it or not I shot 8 eels at this thing 7 missed (hah who says the TDC guys is a little too accurate!) the only hit was in the bow and she sunk... complete blind luck I guess. Anyways she was a stunning 56k+ tons! The most tonnage I have seen yet on one ship! :hmm:

Nice! If I recall correctly it is the Antiquania.
2 of those will get you the 100k ton patrol easily!
I bet your girlfriend was a bit upset when you came over and started playing sh3. lol.

You mean this convoy? Found it too, also in a XXI, decided I was going to bag me that 4 stacker

But....
Fired a nice spread of eels at it and this is what happens when you set the pattern runners incorrectly.

out of the full 6-eel spread I kileld one escort and one old tanker for a measly 3000 tons total

Kaluen KC,

OMG you must have wanted to tear yer hair out after that one....

Dont feel bad though, I didnt survive my encounter 2 DDs and some aircraft were all over me. They beat my boat into submission at 20% my hull failed...Glub Glub!

ROFL!
I don´t know why but seeing those two pics in sequence made me laugh a lot!
How frustrating that should have been! Seeing your eels turning away from your target just a couple of seconds before!
I´m sorry Kaleun, I don´t mean to disrespect you, but I couldn´t help but laugh...
Better luck next time!
