Spotted a VIIC at sea

K-61 · 08-27-10, 12:35 PM

I'm in June, 1941 sailing my IXC in the area of Rockall Bank and get a hydrophone contact, warship approaching. I investigate only to find a VIIC sailing my way; no bridge crew but one guy manning the AA gun. Here I was thinking I am the only U-boat prosecuting the war.

I once saw a IX boat in the English channel. I was still in a VIIB and was really jealous. The crew looked funny though in orange life vests.

Never seen a u-boat that far out yet. Just the ones in port or entering or leaving port up to about 100km out.

Same here, one always arrives into Lorient when I leave for sea.

Just wait till you find one attacking a convoy.

Too bad they can only use the deck gun.

I as of yet only seen them coming in and out of harbor, though I have seen a brit sub in the rear of a convoy.

Assumeing your all playing with GWX. A GWX Dev can confirm all your sightings.

Later in the war I ran into a "milch cow" off the Azores while on the surface on the bridge.
