Altered some of the history of WW2 by sinking a Brooklyn Class Cruiser, then sinking his escort friend, was on the way back to St. Nazarie, after refueling and restocking from U461 we I got a report of a convoy heading east north east, slow. I set up an intercept course, went silent running and snuck right into the middle of the convoy. It was then I noticed the Crusier, and he was going to run into a perfect shot with my stern tube, so alle Maschinen zu stoppen! so then I waited for the right moment, opened the tube door right before hand and then shot. Hit her in the bow and down she went. Then the escort friend got sunk by my magnetic tube. After this I went and destroyed the rest of the convoy. Was a good run.

If you have to catch the big fish, you give more energy and not lethargic, get more involved in the game and do not use TC ... so you can bring up the level of the GRT

the southern tip of north afica is almost a virtual dead zone. I can't wait till 1942 then BdU will send me to rich hunting grounds of America and I can trully utilize my type IX at her full potential.

If your anywhere near North Africa simply drop anchor 250 km west of Gibraltar and many a convoy will come your way.
