Default Never Seen Before!!!

I thought i would share this experience with my fellow kaleuns as i've never come across this situation in the 8 years i have been creeping about the seas of the silent hunter world.

1st June 1940 0740hrs

I was off South East coast of England having completed my patrol of AN84 and I was heading South towards Dunkirk as I knew port was being evacuated by the British Expeditionary Force.
I came across three destroyers 2 Hunt class and a Tribal Class about 30KM North of Dunkirk, I attacked and sank all 3 and proceeded on my course South.

0815hrs

I am spotted by a VW Class steaming at 15kts towards me, I crash dive and return to Periscope Depth, silent running to plan my attack, my Hydrophone Operator reports more warships on thier way. I raise my Periscope and see 2 VW Class, 2 Hunt Class, 1 Tribal Class, 2 French Armed Trawlers, an RAF Search and Rescue class all within 6000KM of my position, them "Boom" I start hearing explosions around me but no ships are close enough to depth charge me, I then discover I am being dive bombed by 4 spitfires.

Needless to say the story ends with me and my crew sleeping with the fishes of the English Channel, i have never encountered such a huge attack before, it was very impressive to say the least.

I later reloaded a saved position in the area of AN84 and witness damaged spitfires returning from the french coast and ditiching into the sea, once again I had never seen this before.

That is all.....over and out
