It was sort of coincidental too. I was travelling around Britain to go to the bay of biscay / atlantic area when intel came up about a convoy ENE of me travelling west. So i plotted a position to ambush it, waited, and the time i had calculated with the given speed, nothing had showed. I decided to wait a little bit longer and then my sonarman had these guys as a contact, coming from the west!

Funny thing

Amazingly,

the next day when i was about to get underway south again, I found a completely unescorted convoy coming my way with about 20 merchants, but, in the center, a Nelson class battleship!! And not a destroyer in sight.

But i thought it'd be unrealistic to sink two huge capital ships in one cruise so i only went for the merchants and sank 5 of em (although the game only credited me with 4)

88000 tons, my best patrol yet !!! I'm loving this game all over again

Amazing, I've just sunk the HMS Hood in Scapa. (sept 5th 1939)

You do realise you've just stole the glory from the Bismarck....dont you!!

Sons of Albion managed to raise it up and refit, that explains why Bismarck was so successful in sinking it on may 1941. Bismarck's shell must have stroke the hole made earlier by Tomcat84:rotfl: ................. :rotfl:

LOL
