Awesome encounter

[GoldenRivet]

So there i am in the north sea near lerwick cruising toward my patrol zone when the watch spots 4 destroyers approaching at medium speed.

I fire off a contact report and set periscope depth awaiting to ambush the group.

I let lose of a stern shot which misses the Hunt I destroyer, however my bow shot finds its mark and instantly obliterates the Hunt II Destroyer ahead of me.

So the destroyers go understandably "ape sh*t".

one sets a bee line right at my position and my instincts tell me its time to get the hell out of dodge - so i set ahead flank and order 180 meters.

about this time another warship contact is made, closing fast.

"crap, these guys have called a friend"

WRONG

it is ME who has the friend!!

a commerce raider made the scene and started blasting away relentlessly with all guns firing.

The destroyers were caught completely off guard!!! one took a few shells to the water line mid depth charge run and exploded violently direcly over my head while i was passing about 60-70 meters.

this commerce raider was elite.

soon, my sunken ship marker for the hunt II was joined by two other sunken ship markers... i practically had to dodge the sinking wrecks as they rained down.

I came to periscope depth and watched as the only remaining destroyer limped off to the west at slow speed aflame... the commerce raider came charging in at full speed blasting away as best as he could.

splashes landing all around the final destroyer in the stormy sea...i surfaced behind the commerce raider.

im going to buy that commerce raider's crew an entire damned brewery

doesnt look like they sustained any damage in the engagement, but i heard a lot of shell splashes and gunfire on hydrophones.

pitty i have no screenies - i was playing my DiD 100% career so all of this was true to life... it was experienced by hydrophone, or by periscope, and finally from the bridge

just thought i wouls share.

good hunting
