This is a good patrol for me, I am making full use of my deck gun this patrol. As most of the ships I come across are just floating bathtubs with cargo. Some are just plain not worth a torpedo. So its good I get to use the guns.

shooting accurately in winds of 7 meters per second though is a little more challenging. lol
I wait till the boat is going down on the waves before I fire the gun, then use the upward ride on the waves to reload, then when down fire again. Much cheaper and easier than firing torpedoes. I also blast with my flak as well, just for more speed of sinking. I am really saving on torpedoes this patrol as normally I don't get much chance to use my deck gun.

The deckie can help a lot in getting good tonnage until late 1940. Then, the tubs begin to get guns of their own. I had a nasty surprise when a troop transport doing 17 knots opened up on me with several guns including flack on 07 October 1940. Got severely damaged.

You've got to love this game.

There is often a VERY fine line. U-52 has specialised since Sept 39 in long range attacks in shallow water. No problems, and big tonnage. Then June 40 - I guess the game threw in a better quality escort with better technology. Even so, U-52 was still in the clear, until one tiny mistake on the part of Kapitanletnant Klos caused the tail end DD to take a look. Result - U-52 has to come up for air sometime - and those guns cause damage even at PD (as it turned out).
Been feeling happy to make it home with 40k tonnage.
That time we were just happy to make it home.:hmm:

You've got to love this game.:rotfl:

after scouting around brittania il scout the med (staring with gibraltar)

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

1 september 1939.
2cnd flottille Willemshaven.

after a long training Leutenant zs Jochen Mohr inspects his brand new U-51 a VIIB type sub and its crew.

then he sets sail for grid AM19. when completing this he will sail further to liverpool harbour.

right before the engines start he notices that a crew member is missing.

"verdamd" yells he. "wo is den schweinhund".
then someone on shore is screaming "warte auf mich". there is watch officer Oberfähnrich zs Bernard Schmitz.

after starting the engines and leaving Willemshaven bernard reports to the cook and has to peel potato's,unions and carrots for the soup (hopefully we will survive dinner)
