Going after a lone destroyer

GT182 · 10-16-12, 05:38 PM

I just sank 5 British destroyers on my my return to the Atlantic Air Gap patrol zone coming out of Lorient. They almost ran over us. Thankfully the lookouts on the con gave us the heads-up quick enough so we could dive.

So a lone destroyer is actually easy. It's just a bit more difficult when there's more. You have to launch your torpedos faster.

This last one took 2 torps. Funny thing was this last one was the only one that came looking for us. They were in a hurry to meet up with something as all were doing 15kts.
