First loss of crew :dead:

was a bit wrong by saying he "rammed" me

- he just ran into me and was scraping against my hull - I suffered superficial damages other than loss of crew & flack guns. I did manage a few pops at him with my deck gun which I think finished him off after I had previously torpedoed him

I'm using gwx3 btw - if it were stock, i'm sure the torpedo wld have ripped him into two/three pieces, but it didn't go off adj. to the ideal spot!

What where you doing anywhere near the surface with a DD prowling around??

Might have been an ASW trawler, or a sub chaser.

Well that encounter with the ASW killed us ALL on u-65 in the end!! I encountered a convoy in NE ireland, near belfast and was noticed by a flower class corvette who opened fire upon me. I crash-dived and we became crushed as we passed 65mtrs.

I will have to start my third career later next week - doesn't look like I will get chance much before next thursday though
