D-day?

enjoi · 09-08-14, 02:59 AM

Anyone ever tried to head into normandy and score some major kills on Dday? I was leaving the Caribbean after a month long patrol scoring about 30k tons and we were all sitting off the beach of Saint Martin catching some sun when I got the message from BDU about Dday. I didn't make it back to France until June 13. And I barely made it back to Lorient losing 2 Petty Officers to strafe runs by Liberators. All my guns were out of Ammo and only about 7 torps left but I really wanted to head north just to see if anything of the Invasion Armada might still be there. But before I started back South to Lorient where I'm stationed I was constantly being harrassed by Destroyers and planes, it was so annoying. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it back because my boat was in real bad shape.

Anyways, I could always restart the patrol and just make sure I get to Normandy before the invasion gets there (if it's worth it). What do you guys think? Is it worth sacrificing the 30k tons I got? I'm at 283k tons before it so not exactly a big deal.....

I created a career specifically to head out and lay in waiting for D-Day.

I can guarantee you, you might sink a couple of ships... But you'll be sent to the bottom with all hands lost. Period.

Yeah not even the Type XXI can help save you on D-Day. This as a go at your own risk type deal.
