most embarasing in game moments

Off the coast of Portugal in very bad weather in mid 1941. Got a sound contact and along comes a huge large merchant out of the gloom and rain. I was at periscope depth, desperately trying to see the flag. Took a chance, without seeing the flag, and hit him with two eels-perfect. However my crew did not cheer-they were dead silent.

Finally got a view of the flag at 300m-big old red meatball on a white field.

She sank-score one for me-a German sinking a Jap.

I really wish I could find that old thread. It was highlighted by the story of a player who sailed all the way to the Pacific and sank a large ship there, only to realize later that it was his only supply ship.

That would be worth a read.
