Okay, this i have to share

[GoldenRivet]

Moved to intercept multiple sound contacts at close range, got to them just about an hour before sunrise. Lined up shots on an empire class freighter and a whale factory ship. let out a couple of eels.

suddenly all hell breaks loose, and i mean ALL HELL... it was like a bar fight with the lights switched off!

"Did they see the torpedo wakes?" I ask myself

"nope... they were electric runners.... no wake" i answered

"Well then what the hell is with all the search lights and star shells and gunfire in all directions?!" i asked myself again

funny, none of it is headed my way. :hmm:

I notice that i have sunk the empire class freighter and seriously damage the whale factory ship.

suddenly, on the nav map, little red ship wreck symbols start popping up all around me.

Then a blue one.

"Aww crap did i sink a neutral?" i wondered... "no wait..." i thought "Neutrals are green, German is Blue!! what is a German ship doign in this convoy?"

suddenly it dawned on me, as i scanned the dark horizon with my observation scope i located a sinking VIIB and another VIIB firing its deck gun, sadly the escorts made swiss cheese out of his U-boat.

I was credited with the Granville, but it appears that the u-boats shelled and finished off the whale factory ship - essentially steeling my kill!!

its a good thing those blokes were taken out by the allies... because they had one red hot IXB skipper to contend with other wise.

GWX... anything can happen!!!!
