[REL] Trigger Maru Overhauled Update BH

Night attack in the new and improved TMO. (My apologies for having to split the video into three pieces but I'm rather cheap and don't own a Youtube premium account. Still, I wanted to share this 38 minute experience without editing out parts.)

I stopped my Seahorse experience and started a new career mid-1944 to take advantage of the improvements and fixes offered at that stage of the war.

USS Apogon (SS-308)

First patrol - first enemy encounter. A fast convoy consisting of 2 tankers (6,000+ tons and 11,000+ tons) making 16 knots or so at night. We reported it and received orders to attack. Attempted to make a surface attack since they were moving too fast to make a submerged run. Our intent was to sink the largest tanker then make a break for it. When nearly in range the 2 escorts broke our way and we were forced to submerge.

I thought we were going to be dead meat at least a half dozen times during this encounter. As it turns out, we were able to sink both escorts and the smaller tanker before finishing off the larger one. I think luck certainly played a part. That and having a fine crew on a fine boat.

(I just thought presenting a video would give the finer details.)

I've extended my mods.
