Well guys I need to share this one with you... this game is amazing... so, I'm sitting submerged relatively close to Liverpool at 25 meters... weather is gray medium visibility...and wind had finally dropped to 6 m/s after 15 days...and I have a contact... pretty fast merchant coming closer... hydrophone plotting reveals course of 359 degrees but he is still far away and the mist prevents me to see him. So I surface and sprint on the T course towards him... after about 10 minutes... A-HA... there you are! It's the passenger/cargo still (as it seems) on the same course at about 325 degrees on my UZO... range about 10 KM. I'm starting to consider my deck gun because I don't want to risk being detected... maybe I can catch him but it will be in the nick of time, and I will had to use T1 because of the distance... so there is the possibility of detection and evasion maneuvers ... so I order manning the deck gun and carelessly swimming towards him shortening the distance at flank speed! At about 5 km I start pounding him... he catches fire... one hit, two, three, four... but something strange is going on...my bow starts to jump up&down more and more...as a happy rabbit... and suddenly my deck gun is no longer usable... WEATHER REPORT! WIND 11 m/s!!! I look to the sky... clouds are breaking apart and there is a bit of blue sky here and there! But I'm not giving up so easily... you are mine! Closer... closer... preparing torpedoes... measuring distance... WARSHIP SIGHTED!! Destroyer!! Alaaaaarm....!
I got away... but he did too...
