I notice everyone enjoys the new sky texures....especially sunsets and sunrise. So I'll not buck the trend.

Shell on the way.

Just to make sure.

Friggin lights....

I see you.

Thanks!

And thanks to the GWX team and testers for a fantastic experience that has drawn me right back in after many, many months away.

After testing OP Cerberus :

I Finally started a career
After having some fun with a couple of Pyros

I was returning to the strait north of oarkney islands and I've picked up a warship at long distance, I was about to turn about but I decided to stay a couple more minutes to get a better idea of it's course, when about 6 or 7 more ship sound where picked up by my operator (I must remember to give him a promotion), so I surfaced, flank speed (forget the calculations, they where coming too fast and I'd no time), and when I think I was more or less in position 16 mts deep and 2 knots speed...
And they showed up

I shoot a 4 trops fan at long range, three duds..., but the last hit on the engines zone, while I was diving and heading away to avoid escorts, after an hour it was dead in the water, but no sinking, the rest of the TF had gone but one DD remains in the zone, I turn back and shoot another torp
I miscalculate and nearly miss

After another hour I was a little impacient

After another hour it sunks

No more torpedoes so I decided to return home

I think that Bernard's smart cousin (the sonar operator) will have his medal after all...

"September 8th, 1939, AM32"

MOST INTERESTING! I'll give that grid a visit at that date some day.......
I trust that the escorts (DDs) wasn't to hard to avoid, since it was early war?

I didn't gave them the chance of detecting me

, I don't deal with escorts, I usually rush ahead of the target, dive at about 20 mts set course straight at them to give a low profile, set speed to 1/2 knots, silent running, and when they pass me I change heading to be at 90º, go to pd, fire my torps, then dive to 60 or more and get the hell out of there, once I see they didn't detect me, If I can safelly make another run I make it else... call me a chicken

Leaving Bergen for 1st GWX-patrol, June '42:

After having sunk a Pyro-ship, and trying to escape a destroyer that stayed behind...the convoy is slowly disappearing beneath the horizon. It never gets really dark, so close to the pole-circle in June, south of Greenland:
