It's okay to harbour ruffians in this forum but not war criminals (even in play).

Thick fog - fairly rough seas. Picked up an enemy contact and just happened to be in the perfect position to fire. I don't use "external view" and through the fog fired 2 torpedoes at the obvioulsy large, but very indistinct shape in the periscope - range less than 500 metres and I still couldn't see a damn' thing. Both were hits. It went down fast.

When I got back to Wilhelmshaven and docked - I was pronounced dead!

I only hope they allowed me a last cigarette before I faced the firing-squad; and in future careers I've ensured that I don't fire unless I have positive i.d. of the type and nationality of the target.

Reminds me of a scene out of the movie 'The Bridge at Remagen' when Major Paul Kreuger (Robert Vaughn) is offered a last cigarette before being shot by firing squad for not sucessfully defending the bridge. And he never got to finish it either!

I was practicing manual targeting on Tirpitz in Wilhelmshaven other day and got something like -140000+ for sinking it.And off course i was dead afterwards.

I guess sinking hospital ships is not most deplorable thing in Kriegsmarine book

I bet your submarine gets haunted if you sink a hospital ship too, like in that movie "Below".

I just surfaced and Deck Gunned it. Less soldiers to fight later. But then again, it was inbound to NYC, maybe it was all the wounded guys who got the ticket home. Hmm... well... "War Is Hell."

Btw I was minus 2700 and some odd points when I finished patrol.
