Default Task Force Magnet

I don't know what it is about my little S-Class (S-33) but she seems to be a virtual magnet for large task forces. The first patrol was nothing special but the second patrol to the Celebes Sea had a large task force of 2 Hiryu Carriers, troop ships, heavy cruisers and escorts heading right for me about 60 km away. I managed to put one of the carriers in the drink

The third and current patrol had me heading towards the South China Sea after photo ops at the harbor in Java. Coming right at me at 11 kts just like before was another large task force with 4 battleships and several light cruisers and escorts. I managed to put a Fuso on the bottom in about 30m of water. The nice part is that after the task force moved on I could head back and look at my handi-work.

The only bad part of all this is that I am in an S-class with only 4 tubes and lets face it........with a top speed of 12 kts whenheading down hill the chance of a successful end around attack after an initial attack is justnot an option.

Just had to share
