Default From Bdu to all U-Boats.

September 06, -39.

Today is a glorious day for the U-Boat waffe.
At 0426 U-53, under the command of Werner Wolff, sank the once mighty Hood.
She was sunk in AM 34 sector by four torpedoes.

I just got a report of a warship heading NNW out of Loch Ewe, I'm currently sitting East of Stornoway in some local deep water. Here's to hoping

Onkel Karl has sent men in dark clothes to bring you before him.

He is not at all amused by your lack of trust in him or his messages
Your mistrust in him and an KM officer is bad for the moral and you will
have to face the consequences.


:hmm:

Open channel.

April 13, -40.

Yesterday, Apr 12, the British was handed another blow by the KM during
the Narvik operations. At 15.30 the Warspite was torpedoed by U-53.
2 bow, 1 stern and 1 midships hits sent the ship to the bottom. She sank
at 16.29 in Vestfjorden.

Lzs, Good shooting mate.
I ran into the Hood in my last career but alas she was out of range.

Thank´s Chris.
I had to fire from over 6000m, racing in on the surface

They seem to always come in too far away or when your out of torpedoes, yes:hmm:

Mostly luck mate
Fired all four, set for medium speed, straight at her and dived, clearing datum at 1 knot. They went under an destroyer, setting of the alarm, but it was too late for Warspite.
