September 1939, and lookie what I found...

[akula_krieg]

Was patrolling the convoy lanes southwest of the British Isles when I came across one monster of a convoy. For those of you who remember, I recently lost U-593 and had to restart from the very beginning with U-48. As such, I was looking for a little payback.

Well, it takes me a good eight or so hours to maneuver around the convoy and get into a suitable firing position. The seas are heavy, but I have a clear sky and a good view. I'm lining up on the lead C3 in the third column when I catch something just over the horizon...

Flip to 6x, and there she is...a Fiji cruiser, trailing the convoy at a leisurely 9 knots. This is the first large warship I've seen on patrol since I bought the game. I'm lucky enough to be in position to fire at her with a well-set fast 90 at 500 meters.

The results:






I still mourn the loss of U-593; however, U-48 looks to be a lucky boat. Off to rip the guts out of the rest of this convoy...
