Your patrol stories

So, I as I very much enjoy hearing from people telling me about their patrols and such. So therefore I thought it would be nice to have a thread to collect peoples stories.
Me starting ofc.

So I was on my patrol yesterday, late 1939 I beliave it was. And I was cruising around north of Ireland when I got a BdU message telling me there was a large convoy In the grid right next to mine. So I went there and discovered that this convoy consisted of 5 * 6-7 ships guarded by only one destroyer. So I put miself in position to shoot at the large ships in the middle.
I waited and at the right time I **** two torpedoes at a Large tanker wich went down instantly, One torpedo at a C3 Cargo wich was seriously damaged and Another one that missed.
Now I was out of torpedoes in my forward tubes and had to reload and 10 minutes later I got another shot wich sunk a T2 Tanker.

After a while I slowly cruised away from the convoy, happy about having sunk 5 Ships.

It was my first convoy encounter so I am very pleased.

To bad that my sub was shot down by planes on the next patrol.

So, If you got the time please write down any special moments you had in SH3.

Take care.
