April 26, 1944 off Palau Islands. Caught a convoy leaving harbor at Peleliu at 1800 hours, tracked ahead for night surface attack on four ship, four escort convoy. After moon set around 0200, we rushed in when the port escort left station and went way out search the flank.At 2000 yards off two big freighters, fired 3 each.The third Mark 14 however circled back but this was not realized, we were already ahead flank and making a turn to get out of the area before torpedoes hit when BOOM, torpedo slammed into stern, destroyed aft torpedo room bulkhead and heavily damaged the engine rooms, water coming in.

Unfortunately the game is unrealistic in the sense the player sub can survive a torpedo hit.So i let the boat go down until it reached crush depth(Balao clasS) meanwhile all torpedoes hit home, sinking two ships while escorts rushed in unleashing many charges as we sunk.

I upped the chance of circle runners with my mods, it came back to get me.
