U-3 very successful patrol

Deep-Six · 10-15-05, 12:14 PM

OberLeutenant Z. S. Strelew decided to go into the Flow after he went to

assigned PA. For a whole 24hrs of complete boredom, He set course for

Flow. As he got nearer he went to periscope depth and stayed there until

was inside the Flow. Nighttime, around midnight he surfaced in a daring

gamble to replinish the Co2. He went undetected.

Finding his prey he

went back to pd and went to a spot where he could line up for a perfect

shot on the AuxCA. He decided to inch closer to around 2500m. Besides

the CA, there were four DDs parked in a L formation. He set the depth of

eels to 10.5, full spread. (The eels are TIIs). Opened the outer doors, and

launched them aiming under the bridge. One of the eels exploded

prematurely. No response from the DDs. 7:04 am the first eel hits, the

crew cheers. 7:04 the second eel impacts, the crew cheers again.

Strelew, tells the navigator to get out of here before the whole British

navy finds us. We start to head west to the secondary way of getting in

Flow. U-3 makes it out, though there are still 2 DDs to get by. We slip

bye them and then head for home. Metals were awarded to almost

everyone who participated.

Here are two pics of the demise of the AuxCA:

Early morning fireworks.

A view from the other side.

Notice the DD in the second pic looking in the wrong direction.

You should surface BEFORE entering Scapa Flow... Could be a baaaad mistake to Surface between the Homefleet! :rotfl:

Right now theres one of those movie clips in my head...

I will add this, this was on a clear night w/ a half a moon that was setting.

The moon was a factor in that discision to surface. If the moon was was

higher I would not have surfaced.

I don't think moonlight affects anything

. I've found in general though the more realisticly you play the game the better results you get
