It's early in the war (1940 I think, this was a-ways back) and I spot a convoy. Not too large, just plump and juicy. The periscope tells me two escorts are in front and to the side and just creeping ahead, no maneuvering. So, I think I'll try something new. Mind you this is before GWX (i.e. deck guns do a lot of damage).
One fish each (97% realism), kablam, kaboom, soon they are both burning and headed for Davy Jones' locker. "Ok" I think, "there is bound to be at least one more". Sure enough. Merchants start wiggling and a small frigate is making its way straight to me. Straight. Bearing 0... yummy. With nothing to lose, I fire a magnetic torpedo which hits and down she goes too. I wait a little and think my last words "that's all of them, no one else approaching". Fire torpedoes at the juiciest targets, surface and start gunning away at the... defenseless convoy. Cracking and blasting sounds, screams, blood everywhere... now I know better. There is always "one more" escort ![]()
