Very Fun Nerve Racking Encounter Yesterday

[World_Devastator]

Good little story I had to share


Yesterday started new patrol going to try to make it thru the war since my mod list is now final.

So I was sailing down to the Baltic Operations Area where I would intercept Polish Task Force and when I came about 20nm from the area I recieved a alarm from my watch crew.. "Periscope Sighted" so I dove to periscope depth immediately hoping the enemy sub did not detect me also. To my surprise the British U-Class Sub did not and he was coming on a bearing in my direction from a bearing of 150*. At this moment I went "Silent Running" and full stop leaving my periscope submerged just bringing it up every so many minutes as to not be detected. When sub came into range I fired two fish with both being dud's, I immediately ordered 90* evasive maneuver to avoid being fired upon. As I was diving and turning two British fish went over my stern and I knew it had been a lucky break, I stayed at 80m for about 30 min with the sub circling overhead... then I rose to periscope depth set the fish to high speed and sent everything I had, with the sub at 600m. In what felt like hours I heard a loud explosion and quickly raised the observation periscope to discover the sub had been hit by one of the torpedo's, I was so happy but more relieved than anything. This was the first enemy sub I had ever encountered specially with the IRAI_42, sinking that sub was a bigger deal to me than any merchant or destroyer I will encounter during the upcoming war. It was a huge moral booster for me and my men
