Another mission this time to AN13...
U-Boot: U-49
Weather: calm from Wilhelmshaven till Grid AN13..
Grid: AN13

I was be able to took out 4 ships by deckgun, to save some torps for later on...

The mission was in somewhat dissapointed, the biggest ship that i sunk was a mid-large cargo ship, the rest are small ships... but i cant have it all luck like the first mission to torp a BB!!!

But i was surprise that there is a DD in 1939 that had sonar and pinged me, i try to intersept him and fired a torpedo, but didn't explode...
than the DD was heading toward me, pinging at me, so i say this: "3.2.1., Rig Silence", than DD lost me, but he was in great speed and collided me frontal, the whole UBoot bounche like a skippy-ball, and my Coney tower was pretty damaged...
I thought, he come back and depth charging me, but he slows down, and starting to sink....

Sorry that was to dark.. but all i know it was a DD type D&V....

DD was sunked, no score, oh well, better luck next time...
Lucky for me, my Uboot didn't make to much water and was fixed in no-time...

Check the odds.... dont you see it?, take a closer look on the depth meter... on the big meter it said "130 meter" but actualy i am getting surfaced after the fix...
BUG? or my big meter is kaput.... you tell me...

Yes my last torp i used on a light-houseship, to bad it didn't sink, but after i fired the torpedo, i had 4 DD's closing in... with luck, i swith back to Silence Running, and dive till 78meter...

And disapears in darknes, without any trace

As i said, not biggie this time, but it wil harder and harder everytime... maybe next patrol will be bigger, further information soon!!!
