It works if you're as stupid as I am. Only against 1 DD, though. You have to start firing first, from at least 3km away. Never stop moving and aim for things that go boom (torpedo launchers, depth charge racks). AIM MANUALLY! And hope for luck.

Recently came across a small convoy, 1 V&W scouting ahead. Took Sir Humphreys down with 15 10.5cm rounds, no damage suffered (still had the crew on full alert tho). Took down the rest of the convoy (~17k tons.)

My record was 2 hits on a Hunt I and she went down.

Maybe that's why your name is missing..... you went nuts and forgot it

But now you have me really really intrigued........

Next time on U-103, Kaleun goes mano a mano with a destroyer!

I tell them to prepare an in abesntia funeral back at Lorient/Brest just in case... I cannot stress how risky (but satisfying!) a duel can be.

I upgraded from a VII to a IX specifically for the larger deck gun. If they offered a 10.6cm gun I would take it.

Next up: find a BATTLESHIP! (joke)
