I visted Fremantle in Australia last night and had me a good old time! One bathurst escort on patrol outside, so I knocked him off and went hunting! Took out athe sub depo ship and a balbo sub outside the harbor, then moved inside, taking out a sommers, fletcher and clemenson destroyer, a LST, Two troophips, medium class cargo and an S Class sub, as well as damaging another S class and a tanker.

This all in 1944!!

Alas my happiness was short lived, I got caught on the surface my a aircraft who gave me a hammering, killing 2/3 of my crew and doing great damage to my sub. I patched it up, but a bathurst escort showed up and knocked me off as I had no hydrophones, periscopes, radio, radar, torpedo tubes working!

Such is Life!

I am glad then that I hit that anchored destroyer that I saw alongside the dido class cruiser I hit in St Helena yesterday. The patrol craft was easy to avoid, a destroyer may not have been.

Uuups, I did it again...

I came back to Dunkirk on February 1940 in the same boat. Everything was all the same. Everything. Same Polish destroyers, same French troop transporter, British large tanker and so on. No patrol crafts around the port.

I went in, spent half a day inside waiting for the French troop transporter to sink (sadly, she didn't and I had no more torpedos) and left. DD's were pinging at me like a bunch of crazies but they couldn't move. When I got to the surface for a moment they immediately opened fire from all guns, so they weren't out of service at all. Not a single airplane appeared nor any warship.

Ships in the port of Dunkirk are the easiest prey in the game I think, and exploiting this is cheating for sure.
