When a Captain gets Cocky

ktrboston · 03-22-08, 10:30 PM

Hi all, on my last patrol I thought I could take on a Task Force which consisted of 2 Kent Cruisers, 1 Fiji Light, 2 Tribal and 1 V&W. Needless to say I got too cocky. I sank all 3 Cruisers which was exciting but the destroyers got me. Everything was destroyed, had to surface. Nothing was working, bow tubes destroyed all that was working was the guns and that didn't help. I took a photo how close the destroyer was literally on top of me but I do not know how to upload photos on this forum. Yes, I know there is a lesson here. All hands lost on U-199.

There are a few ways to upload photos on this forum, here is one of them: http://photobucket.com/

Not hard, just follow their instructions and it's FREE.

Three cruisers for one U-Boat. In the long-term strategic balance the enemy came off worse in the exchange.

Not too cocky.
