hello folks,a newbie question for the old salts.......
I was shadowing a convoy when I got a little too close and over came a J & K destroyer.I managed to out-manouver her and fire off a torp which left her dead in the water and on fire.At this point I made the mistake of surfacing and all hell broke lose as the J & K spotted its tormentor.Time to crash dive and then back up to periscope depth.I took a peek and there virtually on top of me was a Hunt class escort-crunch!!!
"attack pericscope destroyed" came the report.Now at this point the Hunt escort turned red on the chart.I went to external camera and there was the escort on fire and sinking,she went down in approx 10 seconds.I sustained no other damage in the collision.Surely the J&K didn't sink the escort?
