The ridiculous demise of a Uboat Ace

Helmut Kemke, died last night with more than 230,000 tons under his belt (realism 90%). U27 lost with all hands. Sad. And the demise was just ridiculous. An Inspector Clouseau moment

December 1943. Night attack against a convoy in Gibraltar. 2 ore carriers hit but still struggling in the middle lane of the convoy. U27 was spotted by escorts and dived at a vertical course to the convoy. And at a depth of around 30 meters, a collision with the sinking merchant.

Bernard strikes again...

Starting in 1939 with a Type II at Kiel tonight.
