Hmmm, so much for my first convoy... I should have stayed at work.
I got home land with great anticipation fired up the computer & got back into contact with my first ever convoy. I planned to run way ahead & then try & slip in alon the flanks somewheres. along the way I had this bright idea that I should let bdu know that I had sighted a convoy so they would send more subs so I sent a report...
I think this was the wrong thing to do because about two minutes later this DD from about 8000m away made a direct beeline for me. I actually got off a frantic shot which missed, & then he blew both my rudders clean off da boat.
I spent the next hour going flank for a few seconds to get from under the DC's until he finely went away...
So ended my first convoy misadventure. Some new Kaptian had to come & tow me in with my old Type IID boat. It was a very humble experience plus very embarressing.

I guess you don't send contact reports if you want to stay undetected.

Actually, in this game is it better to never touch the radio after leaving port? If so whats the radio guy for? I'm going to start using him to clean the head.
