Dear Mr. Churchill..

In case you're worrying about the whereabouts of (parts of) the British Expedionary Forces enroute to France in 10 unescorted troop transports, accompanied by four large cargo ships, you need not to worry anymore. Seems like they, during one foggy, cold october night, barely 30 miles off the english coast, had the misfortune of running right across the course of our humble pleasure boat.

Enough negative vibes! I thought this forum could need something positive. Something like "your best catches in SH5" or sumfink.

As I've wrote above, I just ran into an unprotected troop convoy, and boy did I have fun! Weather was atrocious but I managed to sink 70,000+ tons in 3 1/2 hours.

From the 1st salvo of four eels three actually hit three different troop ships, two of those (hit in the bow section) sinking in less than a minute, submerging like giant u-boats at full speed. Quite scary, actually. While the 3rd one took 3 torpedoes to go down. All in all the sinkings felt pretty dynamic, varying on where the targets where hit. As I've said, really enjoyed that action.

But just to make sure we're still in the SH5 forum: when I returned from patrol and met my flotilla commander he just...said nothing. And sent me on the next patrol. No Ritterkreuz . No pat on the back. Not even a bloody cigar...

Oh well...

*sigh*

It tried to do it correctly, it was a troop ship sunk in port shallow water. back end dipped down and hit bottom, the front was lifted up, and the stress from that snapped it like a twig....just.....it didnt exactly land right as the snapped part fell into the bottom half and just got stuck. Though after about 15 minutes of constant banging noise it finally was pushed away from the back end and it settled down...but it was funny as hell seeing just this front end of a ship sticking way up out of the water.
