When your men get done with their jumping jacks perhaps they'll find the time to toss a life ring to that poor corvette's crew...

Hi all,

I was heading for my patrol area when i found a circle on the map which means a uboat, I decided to check it out, at first I thought it was one of ours, but turned out to be an S-Class

I wasnt really sure if it could be torped, so I decided to engage with deck gun, since subs sink fast... but then it fired back it went almost 10 mins with us exchanging fire, it was funny as hell.
But really if you could hit a sub with a deck gun, then your a great gunner

I have a video of the fight if any one wants it, its un-edited though, and kind of dark as you see...






I wonder if this happened in real life.

Yes, fascinating story, it was carrying Messerschmitt engines to Japan (I wonder why) and its escort was late. how do you torp a u-boat though, couldnt it just dive and stay at the bottom?! or zigzag but up and down instead of left and right.

@Jim. Surveying ones handywork that close can be dangerous for your health, as some of my men have found out...


Aug 13, -41. Early morning, in perfect pos. and they are Americans


But then this Ore carrier crossed our T


And in the afternoon this medium cargo was hunted down and sunk
Turned out to be a not so bad 13´th after all.

Wolff, now commanding U-553, VIIc. The 7´th Flot. of course.
