My first BB! Very nice.

i remember my first BB i was sailing home with 1 bow and 2 stern fish remaining.
i was passing west of ireland and i got a contact report of a warship heading straight for me, i dive to pd and wait for it/them to come. eventually they came and in the convoy was the HMS rodney. i miss calculted the distance i would be from the rodney by the time she reached my position though, so as the rodney was passing my bow it was 3000 away. i thought sod it and fired my last bow fish. all hell broke loose and all the dds in the convoy came hunting me. i dive down to 230m silent running and make an escape.
about 5mins later i get "torpedo impact"

wtf??!! it hit the rodney at that distance!! after about 3 hours the dds leave and head away i stay under for another hour and then come to pd depth. looking around i see a sillhouette of a ship (weather real bad) i lockon and against all odds its the rodney, speed 0knts!!
i must have hit her screws or engine room as she was listing rather badly. i come about and fire my last 2 stern fish itnto each ammo bunker and under she went. i feel i was really really lucky to stop her with one fish at that range.

My apologies for lack of screenie. Next time!

By the way, how do you get that nice printout from Captain's Log as shown by Steel_Tomb? Is it an add-on or is it something I've missed?

Mooncatt, one shot to stop the Rodney sounds lucky to me but what the heck, you make your own luck so they say! Excellent result anyway.

In SH3 commander theres an option to view a personal profile for your career it shows all the stuff from your patrols in it.

Congrats Kaleun!!

I'm on my 21st. patrol (Dec 44) and haven't seen any warship bigger than a Dido.. But, that's probably why I've made it this far!!:hmm:

S_T, got it thanks. Nice little bit of SH3Commander I hadn't found. Now back to sea...
