Lets Get The Party Started!!

OMG This is like... THE... single biggest sinking I have ever made in GWX or even in Silent Hunter III for that matter!

Picture the scene, its foggy, the sea is high at 15 meters per second. The Lookout spots a destroyer, then another, then another! Lo... whats this? A collossal silhouette in the middle!? An Illustrious carrier! OH MY WORD!!!

In we go, past the screen, past the shells, diving to periscope depth, Salvo for tubes 1-4. She shoots! She SCORES!! (3 outta 4) I musta hit some critical stuff cuz it sank like a brick by the arse end.

23,000 tons. I think the celebration banner needs to come out of retirement once again! Oh this is too stupendous for words, I gotta good feeling that I may be well on course for a 50k patrol (at least!!!)

Oh yeah, thats right! I got away from 3 Destroyers hunting me! I am just brilliant! (and arrogant too! but hey!)

Congratulations!!!

What a way to break the ice.
Drinks are on me.

STEED · 03-21-07, 06:44 PM

To date I have not sunk one Aircraft Carrier.

Sunk seven Battleships.

Sunk ten Passenger Liners.

Well done on your first big kill.

You better boogie off to my Knights Cross party, that party has been rocking for well over three days now.

_Seth_ · 03-21-07, 06:49 PM

Well done!!

Alex · 03-21-07, 06:53 PM

Congratulations, miss.

Wish you good luck on your next patrols.

:p

Well done !! Attacking in this weather is a bit more difficult but makes the escape a lot easier... Every time I spot this kind of target it's either too far away and I can't catch up or I'm on the way home and out of torpedoes

Penelope_Grey · 03-21-07, 06:58 PM

thankyou! I know this probably must be small potatoes to most of you, some probably sank half a dozen of them things, but, to me its monumental, its the biggest most impressive sinking I have ever made, and perhaps ever will make!

No small potatoes... Have been playing this sim for quite a while and I saw a couple of these babies but never had a chance to get a good shooting solution.

Penelope_Grey · 03-21-07, 07:06 PM

I was extremely lucky, they were coming towards me, not too far away either, and even then I had to run flank ahead to get positioned, and when I did shoot it was not really a great shot at all. Not only that it brought all the destroyers in the TF over to me because of the noise my props were making. I still have 6 torps left. So fingers crossed I can do some damage with them.

STEED · 03-21-07, 07:09 PM

Get that lady a cigar and a drink.

AVGWarhawk · 03-21-07, 07:23 PM

That is a PHAT catch!!!

Brag · 03-21-07, 07:29 PM

Outstanding! Except for the Graf Zepelin in Kiel, I haven't even seen a carrier. Congratulations. See ya at Steeds Party, which has been rocking for well over a week.

Cigars are on me.
