I'm getting cocky now. I'm on my eleventh patrol playing DID and all the extras turned off (except external camera. I like explosions!) My tonnage bag is a little too impressive and the bridge watch have more decorations than that fat flyboy Goering. So naturally I've now started messing with the escorts.
I got careless with my periscope whilst waiting in the path of a convoy on my last patrol and a couple of Black Swans came up to get me. I spent about 2 hours underwater with depthcharges going off around my ears and the damage control party running from one end of the boat to the other trying to stop the flooding. I was rising and sinking like a yoyo. I blew so much ballast that the compressed air ran out and I thought I was gone but the crew stopped the flooding just in time. I eventually limped off at 1 knot and returned to base. Best patrol ever. Didnt sink as much as a trawler but I really enjoyed myself ![]() Which explains why I'm now running at flank speed ahead of a convoy with two corvettes picking up speed behind me and getting ready to dive... or die possibly:hmm: The lookouts look less than happy
