Luftwaffe robbed me!

K-61 · 02-19-20, 01:11 PM

In my current patrol, LSH2015, off the coast of Spain between Lisbon and Gibraltar; lining up a single merchantman for a submerged torpedo attack. Two JU-88s make several runs at the ship, then when I think they have finished I fire a single torpedo. Just as the torpedo is about to hit one of the planes drops a bomb. Torpedo and bomb go off almost at the same time and the ship is noted as destroyed, but I don't get credit for the kill. Even worse, the ship does not sink. I observe it for a while then decide to surface and finish off the hulk with my deck gun. I don't want the Tommies to salvage the hull.

Those lousy flyboys; steal my kills and steal the frauleins at the night clubs, with their flashy uniforms and eagle's wings. What's a poor sailor to do?
