I have 2 patrols on me right now.
I started in 1939 and the fiirst patrol was fairly easy as it was pre-war everyone was neutreal and there was nothing to torp , i just enjoyed the ride. But the 2nd , oh boy !. I'm with the 2nd flotilla in the VIIb sub. After leaving the docks I set my sights on Poland! After recieving the first radio chatters i said ' WOW' haven't seen anything like this before, pretty cool ! I recieved information about the war and what is going on. I arrived at the Polish shore, and spotted my first ship on the horizon. Ordered my men to dive the sub to periscope depth and searched for my target. It was 1am , heavy rain was pouring and i couldn't see the flag nor the type of the ship. After some time i noticed it changed its course and it's heading for me !!! I identified it as a some type of warship! 'oh boy, first combat patrol and i'm gonna get it' i thought. I dived to 50 meters put on the silent mode and started to pull out , but i heard the sonar pinging !!. The warship started to bomb me with the depth charges. He made 2-3 passes and missed. 'Whew, now that is over' i thought. I ordered my men to flank speed , but that was a bad decision. The warship found me and this time the depth charges were a direct hit !!. My sub was badly damaged, a few men died, compartments were damaged or unoperational, lights went out !!! I was scared !! I'm in this tin can 60m under water and cannot do a thing and its dark in here ! My men are dead , i'm gaining water and i can hear pressure damaging my ship. Sub took much damage, and pressure took it's tool. 2nd patrol was last for this tub. ![]() The hunter becamed the hunted. all i can say is WoW this sim is great, next time i'll attack merchants and avoid the warships lol ! |
