Dear Mr. Churchill..

[ParaB]

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*
