"Beastly Hun Of The Week" Award

HMCS · 09-29-07, 12:41 AM

I nominate myself.

U-93, early 1942 @ 80% realism.

I fought a running battle with a huge convoy that was about 40% tankers. I sink five of them, and run out of eels. I head home, and while in transit in BF, the bridge crew spot a merchant ship....

Which turns out to be a passenger liner! I dive, then steer a parallel course; thinking that I can surface and fire off a few rounds of the deck gun before she pulls out of range...

I surface, fire a few shots, and then, she's dead in the water. I pull in closer, and see that I must have scored a hit on the bridge. A few more shots, then she starts to sink.

26000 grt with about 20 rounds or so. Worth it, I think. My very first liner, too.

"I told you... we really should have gone to Mexico this year...."

Grand total for this patrol: in excess of 114,000 grt. Not bad for a type VIIc.

Nice one. But why beastly? It was being used as a troop transport to ferry evil Allied troops to fight against our brave boys so all you did was get in early to bring them to meet their maker. Nothing beastly about it all.

That is the right spirit for an uboat commander!

- keeping up the attack aggressivley (tanker convoy)
- not letting out an opportunity to engage the enemy (engaging without torpedos)
- strict accordance to the rules (darkened ship in a declared and restricted war-zone)

Good work Kapitänleutant!
