Was she "the one"?

Hi folks!

Some days ago I was patrolling over England´s west coast, almost near the Atlantic.

It was about 22:00h. I was at periscope depth when suddenly my sonarman reported a contact. It was very fast, but I was lucky that she was coming almost straight to me, so I was able to plot an easy intercept course.

So I surfaced, made my maneuvers, and about one or two hours after the initial reporting, there she was: a big, large ocean liner!! After plotting the torpedo solution I fired two eels stern ahead and BOOM! One of the finest moments in my sub career so far, watching her explode!

So today I was meddling with my career files and found this entry: Did I sink the legendary Queen Mary??

Tks!!

It certainly seems so...

Any screenshots? I have never met the big lady in my SH5 career...

Ooh, I bet that was her!
Before my PC lost interest in living and SH5 decided not to play, I *thought* I saw the QM. Thought. It probably was, and what I did next was a wasted opportunity (Have a look around the sub interior

)
