First GWX patrol...

[Sephiroth]

Alright, so i finally finished my first GWX patrol on a new campaign after getting the mod to work correctly. Well, this is the second patrol since in the first I only went to my patrol grid, completed it, and returned home. No action due to being pre-war.

This time I went to my grid and completed the patrol, then went north of Londonderry and patrolled, sinking a bunch of ships there, primarily with the deck gun. Once the weather turned to crap I used torpedoes on large merchants. Never once took damage from the ASW tugs that came in after I downed the vessels. All but one time the ASW ships just cruised through, not even knowing I was around.

Eventually I got bored and went south to the English channel. I thought I would infiltrate Portsmouth for giggles. I knew the southern entrance had a net on it, so I slipped up and around the northern entrance. No net! I slipped past a V&W and an ASW tug outside, and there was a C&D inside the dock area.

I fired a torpedo at the C&D right under the bow, but he was fast enough to fire up and get out of the way, though just barely. The idiot then flew past me towards the southern entrance and started going in circles until he just cut his engines and started sitting again. I laughed at him.

I continued to the back of the port and fired two eels at a large cargo, which sank it quickly. I then headed east. I passed the same idiot destroyer very closely and he stopped just shy of running into a dock , which again had me laughing. he then sat there going back and forth like a lost puppy. Guess he doesn't realize his ship can back up...

I went back out of the north entrance and turned my tail towards another large cargo. My first eel blew up directly beneath the bridge (magnetic detonator, under her keel). Here comes retard at full steam, and he stops just shy of slamming into another dock, then sits there going back and forth. Highly amusing!

I reload, fire a second eel at the stern of the cargo ship, and it goes off almost directly under it. I now have no eels left, but cannot leave because the tiny ASW tug is circling in front of me. I watch this for a while and then it heads south to return to its patrol, but he also is heading for a dock and stops a few feet in front of it.

I then sail around the northern lighthouse again, head south, and eventually make it home. That is 45k tons in one patrol. I did have three or four dud eels though. I could have brought down more if they had not blown up in advance. Though the only one that actually missed was the one I fired at the C&D. My plan was to sink the C&D, surface, and sink everything else with my deck gun. No go on that.

Also, the ASW tug heard me on the other side of the docks when I sped up and he went ahead full immediately... right into the friggin' dock. Down he went! Too bad I couldn't take credit for that...

*UPDATE*

I took two screenshots to illustrate these retarded ships. In the pictures the red circle is about where I am, firing from my rear tube at the large cargo ship. You can see the C&D trying to figure out how to reach me without flying over the docks.

The green circle in the second image is where the tug rams into the dock and sinks as I slip away.
