One torpedo, one BB --Balz does it again.

Brag · 08-10-07, 02:57 PM

To BDU
From U-53

26 May 1940. Position AM2498

Encountered task force, 3 Battleships, 2-3 cruisers and several escorts. Had only one torpedo in tube II and one in IV. Attacked Nelson. Magnetic shot near the stern. Nelson stopped and sank in 15 minutes.

Kptlt. Balz, J.S.

PS to Admiral Doenitz:
The German people and the Reich have nothing to fear when Johan Sebastian Balz is at sea.

.

Since this is my second Schlagshiff on this patrol, I'm sure the Fuhrer will not object if you would add some diamonds to my Knight's Cross. Matter of fact that would be a great photo op for you (shaking hands with the great Balz). Looking forward to seeing you at the dock on my triumphal return to Willi.

Yours faithfully
Johan Sebastian Balz
The shining example for the Kriegsmarine.

In 1940 it still counts as beginner's luck

Brag · 08-10-07, 03:27 PM

Nelson gets a full stopper!

Beginners luck? Begginers schmack! The great Balz, is just that--Great! And a great songwriter, too (author of Meet me in Balzimore You Hochie Woochie).

Brag I'm starting to worry about you dude.

ichso · 08-10-07, 04:07 PM

I know. BDU won't complain about sinking a battle ship and saving torps.

They're probably planning tactics like luring 5 BB's to one area and sending Balz there so he can sink them in one attack wave :rotfl:

But besides making fun of this: good job

I havn't even seen any enemy BB's yet. Not at the open sea and not in any harbour I went to. And I'm sure I would need more than one torp.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 08-10-07, 04:41 PM

to bad Herr Balz. but i think i was first

2 Rodney's. 2 torpedo's. (6 - 2 = 4 emergency torpedo's left)

KeptinCranky · 08-10-07, 07:55 PM

Hmm, somehow Rodney and Nelson always get the short end of the stick with you guys

Perhaps Carriers are the thing, or an Iowa class BB

or like I did, 2 King George Vs in a 4 eel spread

only the Duke of York and the Queen Elizabeth to collect all the Royals, bwahaha!

I only started seeing battleships on my 2nnd carreer. Then, when firing salvoes at BBs, I've noticed that if one torp hit near the stern, it would either stop or sink the waggon.

Sometimes it will damage the rudder and the BB will veer off course from the other ships, making it easy pickings.

I forgot to add. Making fun of things is fun. Don't be shy

Herr Kaleun Balz:
As always, it's a pleasure to know you are acheiving those wonderful victories.
As mentioned in other thread, we are waiting for your safe return.
Everything is ready at Consuela's and we are anxious to to sing you the Seemanslied while you step in the bar with your fairly won medals on your chest.
We have enough booze to sink a C3, caviar, turkey and lots of lovely ladies, each one more beautiful than the other.
Prost, Kaleun....

Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Thank you, Capt Zap. I'm afraid that due to Tommy interference I didn't have time to finish Meet me in Balzimore You Hoochie Woochie. I was also upset by some depth charging. So I didn't finish Du Alein bist meine Hoochie Woochie.

Ach, the stress of war is so upsetting to human perfection. It is very upsetting to think that I am here, the only one as good as me.
