My dad was on a River Class DDE at that period of the war - he told me about the one U-Boat kill he witnessed. It went pretty much like you described, except that they used the Squid to kill him; it happened in the Irish sea in '44.

Lots of U-Boats checked out that way.

The Red Baron also broke multiple rules of engaement that he had made, causing him to get shot down in WWI, he was the Ace of Aces, the trump card, but he started to believe in his invuranability, causing his downfall
I know this is rather off topic but...it wasn't so much belief in his invulnerability that led MvR to make such poor judgement calls that fateful day, 21 April 1918. It was more a case of combat fatigue -after all he had seen and been through- and the ever-felt pressure of performing well for the troops who found some relief when they peered upwards to see the red Fokker downing another victim.

Back to Manock's experience...

I hope you don't play DID...! The wrong decisions you listed as the causes of your untimely demise sound -rather worryingly- a tad too familiar...

I always go for just one more merchant...even when I see the escort ploughing towards me.

Kind regards,
