U-106 patrol to Freetown

Deep-Six · 11-05-06, 06:30 PM

U-106 on the way has found a liner parked in Freetown.

If I can get my uboat into position, I will try to sink her.

I only have 4 torps left in the rear tubes.

Hello . The way I sunk the liner was to enter the harbour from the back entrance and then fire from there to the liner. Due to the small AOB it took me 4 or 5 torpedos to sink her. It will be tough but it can be done. So best of luck and I hope you collect a few medals for this

Freetown is worth a visit.

Got myself just now a Liner, 1x T2, 2x C2, 1x small tanker and one tramp.

But the harbour is a bit easy to penetrate.

What type of boats do you all have? Is Freetown too far for a VIIb?

I am in a IXB, your VIIB would not make the trip to Freetown which is on the African coast.

Nah, as long you dive all day and surface at night to charge batteries, you can make it to Freetown.

I had a mission in Grid EK78 or 87... thats close to Freetown, used 1/3 of fuel from Lorient with MAN-Engine(i know i spend 1500 renown), but a huge gas-saver.. all the way from Lorient slow ahead to Freetown.

Still have fuel left from Grid 78 or 87 to went to BF13, from there i used another 1/3 total of half gastank. and went patroling sunk some ships, had 25%(red line) of the fuel indicator, went home, made it...

It's a long haul, but it's worth....

Btw, i didn't use milkcows to refuel or rearm torps....

try it...
