Freetown...disaster in the making?

akula_krieg · 07-20-07, 10:26 AM

Ran smack into a convoy while I was enroute for a harbor penetration...lookouts didn't see a thing until a corvette bore down on us.

I had enough time to snapshot two torps at freighter close enough to target, got lucky with one hit. Now I'm deep and giving the escorts a decent chase. Think I'm going to enjoy this area...if I get out of it alive.

i managed to get IN the harbour once... just the ships you would find in other harbours

not counting the endless patrolling warships (yes i killed almoast 10 of them)

Sneaked past the warships (only small ones, no DDs) and have entered the harbour area. A lot of British merchants, no stationary warships.

1 Liner
1 Large Tanker
1 Modern Medium Tanker
1 Small Tanker
1 Medium Freighter
2 Small Freighter
7 Tramp

I found heaven! I hope they don't have guns installed, so I can spare some torpedoes...

Happy Hunting To Me...

Why go into the port when large, fat convoys come out of there and you have over two weeks to follow that convoy and decimate it?

Because Mohr is the founder of the Suicide Squad, and lately he has many followers, he is something like the dark side of the force, very tempting... :rotfl: :rotfl:
