Well done matey

That's the way to do it.

If it's you or them I'd take the shot everytime in that depth. Best rethink going into shallow water again though. Its a hell of a way to try to survive the war going through that every time.

They don't call them coastal u-boats for nothing. I always go into the shallows with the type II's, and I die often. But it's never boring.:rotfl:

Well done with the story with the pics, just like reading a good comic book.

With command abilities like that, you should be promoted in no time.

Exellent job

Good effort there! You'll be raiding harbours in no time!

After this action and after all torpedoes had been used I had to put into Wilhelmshaven for repairs. The damage wasnt as bad as I had thought.

This is now the second destroyer action that I have fought in shallow waters off the east coast of England, the other was in Dec 1939, off the coast of Rosyth. There we managed to elude a destroyer that canned us leaving us with 61% H.I and also in desperate need for a new paint job.


(He called up one of his buddies too but we eluded them both in the dark.)

(I am using SH3 Commander 2.7)

Anyhow when I got back to Wilhemlshaven after this latest hammering I was informed Herr Kaleun bootsman Klaus Brummer is being transfered to another boat. Do you think he is thanking his lucky stars or what!!!! :rotfl:

As for us soon we are to be given a new type VII and U-23 will be transfered to the 21st flotille and used as a training boat. With the type VII will come new hunting grounds in the atlantic. But for now its the east coast of England and shallow waters... will the crews nerves withstand it!!
