Maybe I should thank Mr Churchill

Like SleightOfHand, I generally fire 2 torps at each target, of which I can (reasonably) expect 1 to hit. On my current patrol (Type VIIb, 1940) I've got 4 torps left - 2 at the front, 2 at the back - and have sunk 15k tonnes, or two large merchants. Your mission puts me to shame!

However, I assume (hope and prey - for the sake of my pride) that the IX has more than 14 eels.

Perhaps I should start trying to sink the escorts first so that I can get my deck gun into action?

Never got anywhere near my patrol grid. Caught a convoy before I got west of Ireland. Eradicated it. Escorts included. All I had left was eight torps and my flak. Day and a half or so later picked up another. Two days later all I have left is flak, fuel, and a burning desire to become inebriated. Didn't see much sense burning desiel, so I called BdU and got the all clear to head home. Guess it makes up for all those long patrols and praying for a stray seagull to shoot at.

The only thing I don't have turned on on the "real-o-meter" is no map contacts. Gotta have some sort of a crutch. So yup the screen says I'm at 100%.

I love my IX. 21 for the tubes, and 110 rounds for Enid. Plenty of fuel, and crew. try slammin' en home a skoosh fore of the bridige, and be patient on the girl. may take a fair bit to go down. But I have and will sink a third in if that is what it takes. Sp there ain't no shame. Do what you can to put the stiff in their lower lip. I spent a lot of time graphpaper and beverage learning.

And as others have said "If the Wolves wish to feast upon raw lamb, they must first kill the dogs". I reccomend opening up a flank and the rear first. It makes evasion and shadowing much easier.


@Brag I have no problems buying the libations. But they best be in me, not on me!
