and for the Harbor raiders, (meneer Mohr ) this one's a toughie:



Next trip will be to Alexandria, I hope I have better weather then because most of this Data was gathered in fog and 15m/s wind, the only nice days were when leaving and returning to base

patrol tonnage: 26k

2 tramp steamers
1 hunt II DD
2 Fiji Cruisers (ok that was pretty nice got me promoted anyway)

fired a fish each at those aussies too but they got lucky, 1 premature, 1 bad angle dud and one very lucky bathurst Corvette:

7 juni 1940.
im almoast at southend.
was no harbour at harwich so i continued to southed.

edit: arrived at the harbour and got imediatly under fire from a armed trawler and a elco.
also spotted a black swan in the harbour

edit 2: in the harbour at the moment.

enemy units patroling the harbour:
1 elco torpedoboat
1 armed trawler
1 C&D DD (just arrived)


red is a subnet.
green are oceanliners.
pink are V&W and Black Swan.
white is a modern medium tanker.
orange is a small merchant.

there are more units in the harbour but i think the Luftwaffe (or bernard and dinsdale) took care of them

edit3: VERDAMTEN Göring !!!!!! ILL KILL HIM.
he ordered his luftwaffe to bomb my targets in the harbour

[johan_d]

After two days of troubleshooting, then a fresh install of XP and SH3 finally back to the boat.. 1941, sailing on the north see, nothing seen, all quiete on the western front.

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

That's where my patrol grid is.
Hmm only warships patrolling, have a hard time to keep out of their sights.

There are a lot of DDs over there it's true. If you stay and look around you will find LOADS of single merchants and convoys. It's a U-Boat Dream Patrol Grid

You should be sinking them This war you know you should be sinking the enemy where ever you find them

I got one, but only because its speed was 6.5 knots, so I could observe, flank, ambush and sink it like if it was a merchant. Usually they have speeds above 20 kts.

First warship I sank this way.

[mr chris]

Well with any luck that will be the first of many.
Good hunting

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

gonna do this patrol over again... the luftwaffe bombed everything except the warships in the area.
