Insane Black Swan frigates...

spork542 · 07-05-06, 01:18 PM

So there is a storm going on. U-504 is perpendicular to a convoy. I go into external view (yeah I know, cheater, yeah yeah...) and I see one of the escorts, a Black Swan 4 kilometers away, zigzagging. I hadn't fired anything yet and I don't see how I could have been detected. I have been heading on 2 knots to get to this position. There are 15 m/s winds (yes, 15 m/s), overcast skies, and no precipitation nor fog. It is 19:25 in January 1941, U-504 is at periscope depth heading 2 knots with periscope up. The convoy attack has not occurred yet, mostly because I'm pausing to politely ask what is going on. So, if there is anything I have missed, I would be thankful for an explanation of what it is. Please assist.

Oh, I wasn't sure because... um... I haven't actually done a convoy attack before.

Update: I fired two T1 torpedoes at a C2. Result: 1 torpedo explodes close to the C2, other hits the engine room/fuel bunker/something. Big explosion, C2 sinks. Technically, I have attacked a convoy before, but with a different boat, U-516. Sank a Bogue in 3 hits. That was a good day, but unfortunately U-516 and her crew were, for lack of a better term, deleted.
