Three ships? I've never got more than 2 with my Type II. Last patrol I sunk a Medium Merchant north-east of Shetland (3 torpedoes - 2 hits and a miss) and then when returning ran into a Large Merchant. Fired two of my remaining fish, one impact, one magnetic pistol. The mag detonated after about 300m and the impact hit midships. Took my final shot hoping to finish her off, but missed the stern by a knat's whisker because of the damn zig zag.

Then I grounded in the Kiel canal on the way home. Destroyed the batteries and killed 2 crew. Hull integrity was 39% when I got back. Embarrasing considering I never even saw an escort, let alone took a depth-charge!
