Nice! The new ship models add so much to GWX in my opinion. And that must have been a difficult attack, daylight attacks in GWX are kind of awful for me. Good job Fubar2Niner..

Been at war for a little less than a week and, so far, it has been a big disappointment ! Not much action, although we have high hopes patrolling NE of Scapa.
The crew has been killing time redecorating the sub. We had all wished for boobs, and other tender bits. Our Kaleun is resisting it, saying "Not yet Kameraden, not yet! " We have to prove ourselves to be real men, I suppose.


Gustav managed to sneak this one on board, and mounted it in the torp room. A little too tame to our taste, but inspiring nonetheless.


I can sense we will finally get lucky at sea - and once back at Wil - all heroes of the Reich, I will get myself some... We all know where to go.

Cheers,
Lost

Dec. 16, 1939
Picked a large convoy up on the hydrophone in BF17, heading NE.
Lucky routine sound check, and what a surprise it was!
Chased the convoy from a distance for some 8 hrs, and positioned myself. Fired 4 torps into her, all contact pistols - two bounced off - she kept going. She was seriously wounded, eventually creeping away at 1 knot with a single DD lurking.



Stalked her until night, and finished her off with a surface attack, another two torps down her belly. The DD had gone by then, rejoining the convoy.



We should be back in Wil right before Christmas

Cheers,
Lost

Verdammt !
One hit low below the waterline but that tanker refused to go down. And no gunnery with those waves crashing over the deck. Verdammt ! Verdammt !!!

Another torp did the job at daybreak. Those Tommies can paddle all the way back across the North Sea.



Cheers,
