Mission report 1 in GWX mod

NightCrawler · 12-20-06, 12:45 PM

It's 1939, uncle Dönitz, hand over a Brand new U-49 type VII and send me to a mission grid BE61...

So in the harbor i ordered the crew to slow ahead, and i duck in the maproom to plot the course...
What shall i do, take the channel or use the tourism route(AN14)....
So i flip the coin and the coin said Tourism route... SO BE IT!!!

Grid AN14, first victim, a small cargo ship, took out with deckgun....
Grid AN14, after tooking out the small cargo ship, a watchcrew shout "AIRPLANE"....
i was busy with the crew schedule, when i heard sudden "AIRPLAINE", i rush into the tower, and check with my own eyes,(it was sunset time 6:50PM)...
Use the binoculars, and saw 2 large planes circle around in the grid where i was.
Those cant be 2 deckers, or even Spitfires, as i said Large planes...
But they heading south alreading heading base(maybe because it getting to dark)..

Entering Grid AN13....
It was pick-dark, hardly to see in front of me, and sudden a crew SHOUT "SHIP AHEAD"...
Using a binocular, it was to dark to see what ship it's... so i use the UZO...
Ask the watchman where the ship possition... 350 he said, so pointed at 350, range 4000, open the book, and nose around, and

A lone Ammo-ship? in 1939?? OH YEAH BABY!!!

Ship heading NNE, heading Grid AN14.
Ordered the crew, FULL AHEAD, chase that big fat ship... "YA ASS IS MINE" whaahahaha

Before i launch the torp, i check his flag(dont want to torp a neutral ship) because negative reown...

So i went to the ship(external view)....
Yup tis a tommy lmao YEEEHAWW!!!!
When i was closing him in range 1000

Torp set at 7.5depth, speed medium "FIRE IN THE WHOLE"......
Let the clock ticking away, i was watching with UZO to see the impact...

KABOOOOMMMM impact in the machinery room, the whole ship was "just like christmas tree"..... Now that what i called "HAPPY NEWYEAR BOYS" lmao :rotfl:

Time to reload the torps, and the external torps for the next action...
entering Grid AM52

Sudden a radio call came in, large convoy heading AM52(convoy was 1 grid above AM52)...
Heading north straight toward the convoy...

Action Grid: convoy change course heading south, so i cut them off under water full speed ahead...

convoy range 2000.

Let's see around....
2 DD's 1 in the front 1 in the rear...
5 small cargo's
3 Whale factories... that a nice tonnage for a record...
3 Large tankers
2 Medium Cargo ships...
1 Large Cargo ships....

uhmmmm WTF... a Battleship? i open the book, nose around...
Battleship HMS Rodney, "YOU GOTTA BE ****TING ME"... a 36.000 tonnage ship, that speeding 5knots....

First i fired 1 torp to a whale factory, impacted, but not sinking....

than i was focus on the Rodney.. heh heh....

Fired 3 torps depth setted at 8,5, speed medium...
Using external view....

following the torps heading the big baby.....
Than suddenly a small cargo came side by side, 1 torp was still heading to Rodney, the 2 other hitted the small cargo...

"OHHH NOOO, YOU STUPID PAIN IN THE ARRSEE CARGO SHIP, you gonna blew my surprice attack"....

now i am dead meat and the DD will chasing me....
Well the small cargo sunk right away...

1 torp hitted Rodney between the 2 front cannon....
I thought he might speed up..., but no, still 5knotz.
Checkin also by periscope where the DD's are, they still wasting Depthcharges on the wrong place(what a bunch of amatures :rotfl

Ordered to reload the torps... heading Rodney...
Rodney slower down 4knotz...
torp 1 is ready, ok, speed setted fast, depth at 7.5, "FIRE"....
Torpedo impact on Rodney, just under the bridge, now Rodney slower down from 4 to 3, but changing course... Stern was my next target, Torp 2, speed fast, depth at 8.5 "FIRE"!!!

HIT!! his starboard prop, and his rudder was dammaged...
Slowing down from 3 to 2 knotz...

Time to reload, and heading him...
Rodney was leaning, knotz, 1 to 0 knotz....
He is limping now...
The convoy was away, even the 2 DD's are out of sight...

Closing in... using the tern torps....
Range 1000, torp speed fast, depth setted 7.5 aimed on the the machinery room...
"FIRE"...

Hit, and the first smoke came out on the bow????
Than a hydrophone guy SHOUT, DD closing in....at bearing 45 fast, i turned my periscope around, rig to sillence... down periscope...
Than i heard the message "TARGET DESTROYED".... set depth 100...

Slowly Rodney sink in 1 piece to the bottom.... DD was to late to take action...
(make a picture of limping Rodney), used the Shift +F11, it almost frooze up my computer, but i have the picture, i think i will install Frapper to make snapshot without slower down my system....

If you know a site where i can upload pictures, post reply, and i will upload the picture of limping Rodney, and with Frapper i will make a snapshot of the final Tonnages of that mission...

Back to the game... DD didn't found me, so i change depth to 15...
then it getting dark, time to charging my batteries... surface...
Reload front and stern External torp for my next action...

U boot dammage: NONE
Torp left: 3
Front: 1
Stern: 2
Didn't Reach BE61, but i bet, when i reached BE61, than heading home, a whole box of deccoration is waiting for me, and for the crew...
Realistic mode: 62%

DAMN I LOVE THE NEW GWX!!!!!

A good start...keep updating

NightCrawler · 12-20-06, 06:36 PM

Yup thats my trophy YEEEHAWW

NightCrawler · 12-20-06, 08:03 PM

Next victim after the battleship

Hasta la vista baby!!!

I am impress

Sneaking around!!!

the sector with 02, was the possition of the battleship...
In AN 13 was the ammo-ship.

Yup there they are, in a line-up....

andy_311 · 12-20-06, 08:24 PM

I nailed it too on my fist patrol same grid too, my second patrol was a complete sham due to bad weather only 70k compared to 177k+ on my first patrol

NightCrawler · 12-20-06, 08:28 PM

How do you do that???
1 shot = 1 kill???

btw, the mission is not over yet, have to reach BE61.. 2 torps left, and bunch of Deckhgun ammo left.... but never reach the 100k

Cap.Palla · 12-21-06, 06:06 AM

at wich realistic percentual do you play ? I'm playing at 90% and for me its almost impossible to hit a Fregate...she always "hear" my torp and increase speed / hard turn ....

Corsair · 12-21-06, 06:53 AM

Why wasting torps on a Frigate ?

Cap.Palla · 12-21-06, 11:58 AM

From my personel file in SH3 commander:

Ship sunk! HMS Liverpool (Southampton Class) , 10725 tons

I got her finally !!!!

Corsair · 12-21-06, 04:34 PM

Then it's a Light Cruiser and worth a couple of torps...

Cap.Palla · 12-21-06, 06:44 PM

It has been a very lucky shot , with a 0° AoB

....a DD engaged me and i run away just in time

Before I met the rodney I stumbled on the Hood and the Nelson both got sunk,the Nelson I took out with 1 shot so did the hood but fired a second fish into her before I got the "message she going down"and yes the rodney went down as well with 1 shot hit her between the 3rd turret and the bridge took a bit of time but she went down.

No wonder... gheez, lucky b@st@rd lmao, but very nice to took out a BB with 1 Torp...
I wish i can do that... at least make it limb, but to finish a big fish, it always took 3 torps for me....

Never had 3 BB's that close to finish, but in GW, i was to be able to took out a Nelson, there where 3 nelson supported by 5 DD's...
but took out all 3.. nope, sorry

Jimbuna · 12-22-06, 09:14 AM

Beginners luck :hmm:
Nope...talented kaleun

...but very fortunate
