Came upon this lovely unescorted group during my carrier hunt mission. Tons and tons of lovely targets, and of course I had full deck gun and torpedo ammo. There only defense was light machine gun fire and blinding spotlights at me.

I sunk nearly a dozen of them. After nearly 2 hours of toying with them I had 1 torpedo left. I tried for a one hit wonder on a large tanker, took it down to a tiny sliver of life annoyingly. But i figured oh well. Ill pack it up and head home with a nice haul. I start to plot course out of there not really paying attention to what was going on in real time. As im plotting course lines all the way back to Germany. I hear burning slightly...and then the sound of a tanker engine.......then the screeching metal of a tanker ship ramming me and sending me to my doom.

Too be honest this is the second time a tanker has taken aim to ram me, the first time i moved out of the way just in time, This one though, after i bagged a lot of kills (didnt save of course inbetween)...got that convoys revenge. It is a sad state for the game that I am more afraid of tankers then destroyers...but that is the case. Wonder if I will ever run into such a meaty convoy again. Look at that.....NO ESCORTS! ARG!
