Anyone else had a "bad luck" patrol?

Just returned from my 2nd patrol, with average results. 4 ships sunk, totalling a measly 8400 tons.

My radio antenna was destroyed in a depth charge attack in the first few days of the patrol, ripped clean from its mounting, severing contact with BDU...and with it any reports of juicy convoys or task forces in my area of ops.

All those ships were sunk on pure chance of running into them. And i think i'm slowly getting the hang of now how to use electric torpedos. Set one for magnetic detonation, and sent it under the hull of a small merchant.

The explosion ripped into the bottom of the ship tearing the hull in half like paper!!!

such an enjoyment seeing that happen!!!!!

Was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class, and U-Boat Front Clasp for my efforts.
