Keep up the good work
 Congratulation on the successful attack, herr Kaleun.  If I may suggest, resist the temptation to reload immediately after attacking a convoy. I had unpleasant experiences when I did that

Xlbob,I am not actually fancy reloading closely to destroyers.If I do that,I do it when the warship contact is long,either constant or moving away.

In fact,I think that if the sea is calm,you can set a team with a deck gun,in principle,so they would keep destroyer under fire in reasonable distance.But,first,I actually never encounter a convoy when the weather is calm,and second,I am afraid that destroyer's fire will kill my men at the deck gun.

yes you dont ever want to be surfaced at any time you are in visual range of a destroyer, your piddly slow 80mm wont have a chance against him.

That was in my case.Trawler could not come near enough,to fire really accurately. |

Though off the top of my head I think its something like 13 knots. They weren't really very well suited to their task... their task being the most numerous escort in the war. They had a wide body that tossed and turned in the North Atlantic storms and her main gun at first was useless even when it hit. Not a nimble beast. You could easily out run one on the surface. And at night with your tail presented to him he won't be able to do anything. |
