A happy campers Patrol Report! (insanely pic heavy)

Okay, first of all I would like to say that I just had the time of my life with SH3. What I experienced in Scapa Flow a few hours ago is the most nail biting and rewarding gaming I have done for ... well, probably years. Over the top? Maybe.

December 1940, Kaleun Neumann and crew left Lorient in U-93 (type VIIC), bound for AM. After patroling their assigned grid for 24 hours, Neumann received orders to go to Scapa Flow, due to reports of capitol ships in the area.

U-93 approched Scapa Flow from west, manouvered around on the outside, and entered from the east. The boat got through the blocking ships without incident, and submerged as the sun set.

This is what met them, the HMS King George V(!):

But King George was not alone, of course:

U-93 is blown out of the shallow water:

To be continued in a few minutes!

Neumann fired a steam torpedo at point blank in anger. Revenge!

Neumann is finally in a position to fire at the anchored HMS King George V, and fires three torpedoes at approx 1500 meters, The fourth tube door is jammed by depth charges.

(More soon!)

Three hits, and not even a scratch on the beast!

King George lists slightly

Unfortunately for the Royal Navy, this crew almost blew up their own boat:

The more, the merrier:

King George takes a fourth torpedo:

U-93 is rammed by the newcomer ...

... which blows sky high from the damages:

(More soon)

King George is hit again:

King George takes a pounding:

8 torpedoes, and still floating!

(More soon)

Neumanns final torpedo:

9 torpedoes later Neumann and U-93 retreats with severe damages, but the mighty HMS King George V is still floating:

Because of a damaged fuel tank, U-93 nearly had to be scuttled, but she made it to Bergen for repairs, even though she had to run on electrics the final leg.

This was my most entertaing moment in SH3 (ever), and thats kind of funny considering my total tonnage was 950 tons. (Didnt get the destroyer that blew up after the crash :rotfl

The boat was a total write off, nothing worked except the observation periscope, and barely so. That the titanic battleship survived was somehow fitting.

Oh, the fun!
