Default Finally a Battleship

I have been on this forum back in the day, but just opened a new account to change my Username (for several reasons, but whatever). I stopped playing the game for along time but came back to it when I was that GWX3 was out.

The real point of this post is that I finally got a battleship!

November 1939, about midnight, I ran into a Nelson type north of England. She was in line with another battleship (I can't remember the type). I hit her with 3 torpedoes initially, which slowed her down from 23 kts to 6kts. Moved away and surfaced to get in another position to shoot again. She took another 3 torps to bring her down.

Damn, it seemed to easy

Cheers,

OMS

Lucky bugger I've never ever seen one in full career mode. It's probably best if I didn't anyway, as I would crap myself and blow the kill out my arse

Yeah, it's been the strangest start to a career I've had. On my first patrol I ran into a Southampton cruiser and sunk her as well. I'll probably end up getting sunk by a mine somewhere--everything is going to well.

I remember my biggest prey so far has been a hospital ship and a line crusier. To sink or not to sink anyway they were too tempting not to. I mean that's the whole point of game. I missed
