Tangling with escorts

I always desist from taking on escort destroyers for obvious reasons. But last night I got mad and tired of hours of running deep and silent. Maybe it's the Combat Flight Simmer in me and throwing away the Golden Rule of being patient I surfaced at flank speed, set my torps, opened tube doors and LET'S GET IT ON! Four of them, they were actually 3 Subchasers and 1 DD. I was surrounded! So sent 2 fore torps and 2 aft torps on a Subchaser (fore) and DD (aft). Those IJN guys must've been shocked senseless. They tried to accelerate and double whammo! they went down. Adrenaline pumping (I had realistic reload on) and it took forever to reload. Then I remember to activate battle stations and that speeded up the reloading a bit. Confusion ruled! One escort depth-charged me and missed but another one came too close and got hit with a DC! Ha! The last one dead on 0 in my scope. You gonna git it! Whammo! the escort split n two! All this wunderbar action at Flank Speed! I celebrated by opening a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue. But don't tell the wife. She'll kill me.:rotfl:

Btw I was sailing with a S-42- The Super Sugarboat!
