Running Gun Battle...

[JHuschke]

When any enemy encountered, I will always engage! Never to retreat, unless it was a last resort, or too many casualties to the crew and U-15 itself. I have encountered 4 S Class submarines, and didn't hesitate to make a shot, I have went under water, I'll follow them until I get close enough, surface from behind and fire abroad..usually from the right side.

Sometimes firing at the propellers, it can destroy it and make the boat completely immobile, that's what I do when it becomes at escape-risk or if it's too much of a strong ship. Make it completely immobile, shoot or be patient until it sinks.

Are you using GWX? They were introduced in this mod. If you are using GWX, S class subs can be encountered singly or as part of a convoy. I've seen lots of them before in convoys (I should have stated this in the original post) but have always ignored them in favour of better/larger targets. This is the first lone S class that I've come across since installing GWX.

Welcome to the club btw...

Once in stock Sh3 I ntercepted a convoy with only one V&W escort, while I was surfaced.
The escort didn't see me, it wa foggy and a distand about 3km, I had no torps left and I decided to engage with the deck gun so I loader the AP rounds and gave it few shots, was destroyed before it could spot me.
Then I engaged the best targets of the convoy.

A few weeks ago I was on an early-war patrol in The Minch off the west coast of Scotland when I was spotted by an ASW trawler. Realising that it might be best if I legged it, I turned 180 deg. and showed him my tail while I increased to flank and hoped that my 2 to 2.5 knot advantage would be enough to open the distance.

Anyway, it developed into a more or less classic stern chase - us end-on-end and both giving it maximum revs and going all out. He was firing regularly and accurately with his 4" comedy gun but had yet to score a hit. Eventually he must have exhausted all his HE ammo because - and this is the great part - I began hearing these "poff, poff" noises overhead. It took me a minute or two to see the first one, but when I did it became apparent that he was lobbing AA shells at me which were exploding above our heads!

I didn't take any damage, thankfully, and when he'd exhausted this supply too I turned around and blatted the persistent wee turd with my 88mm. I've got pics of the flak going off if anyone's interested, they're not that great though.



edit: PS, I've sunk an S-class that was escorting a convoy. Took two torpedoes to do it. They're very manoeuvrable little buggers.
