Yep, I remember one time in late 1940 I was patrolling the Irish sea and found a battlegroup sailing north to Scapa Flow or Loch Ewe, it had about 8 Destroyers, but in the middle was the HMS Nelson, unfortunately, I couldn't get close enough to attack her. That was one experience which kept me playing.

One of my favourite experiences is when your on the surface in an extremely foggy environment and suddenly a colossus comes out of the fog heading straight for you

I made a midnight run into Scapa Flow and sunk a troop transport. Was never detected and was able to sneak right back out where I came from. Bumping into a Task force doing 20 some knots with the HMS Hood in the middle is also a hook for this game.

My favorite was today. I attacked a light cruiser. I wasn't sure if it would sink. Couldn't stay up top to see as it was getting hot. As I am steering to avoid depth charges at a depth of about 60 meters. Here comes the cruiser just missing me with props still turning. I think he had probably dropped the charges on me just before he sunk.

well lets face it i cant aim worth beans soooo....

ive raided just about every port on the english coast stationary targets are so much easier to hit

ive become quite the master of harbor infiltration ive done gibralter, scapa, new york etc etc etc....

yesterday took the cake though i sank my first battleship in 2 years of owning this game

i found a task force with hms nelson during the invasion of norway and sank her without taking a single dc then i headed to a supply ship in spain and went for gibralter and low and behold what do i find sitting the harbor?

hms rodney of course which made 2 bbs in one patrol

i single handedly eliminated an entire class of ships in one patrol

I can see getting into the harbor. My question is how do you get out after sinking a BB. Doesn't anyone notice?
