Das kleine Boot

[fabel]

Currently, I also am doing a career with the IIA. It's a nice boat, but he has a very small amount of torpedoes. On my last patrol I went to Dunkirk, sank a passenger liner (25000 tons) and a large tanker (16000 tons). For a IIA that's very decent I think.

Oh, and about the fuel: I always run at slow speed, my maximum range is then about 5500 km. Ofcourse when I spot a merchant, I run faster. One patrol takes about 20 days for me, so I'm quite attached to it

They are neat boats, like a good shotgun a couple of good scores and you start to wonder why upgrade. I'll probably do another patrol with it, but Im craving a deck gun too.

Anyone have anything on the damaged disapearing merchant? :hmm:

I remember from previous posts that ships and convoys never actually reach the docks but the game gets them close to the coastal destination and then the ships are removed from the game.

From your first post I assume you were both very near the coast and you just ran out of time as the ship did a Trekkie style "beam me up Scotty"

I had that happen to me just the other day. In my little Einbaum I put two eels into a C2, one set for slow speed fired first, and the other set to fast speed so that they would hit simultaneously. They hit, the ship blew up and sank right before my eyes (surface engagement at night), but I never got an 'Enemy Unit Destroyed'. I never got the renown for it either. That made it double nasty, because you can't rack up the renown in a Type II like you can with a bigger boat.
