in my actual patrol i had my first frustating experience.
![]() in 1943 with a ix-c boat, after an attack to a convoy protected by 6-7 scorts and sunk two tankers with 20.000 tons in total (i fired to a scort carrier but i missed and the two torps hit one tanker ) i tried to scape and i was near to this when one scort catch me in his sonar and start the depht charge attack. doesn´t matter what i do, 250 meters, launch decoys, evasive actions ... the scort always see me like it has x-Ray active sonar, after some time it run out of charges, but another scort arrived and continue the attack. i had to go up to periscope depth and finish one scort with two torpedoes and dive again until the second scort run out of charges . then the same history, go up to periscope depth and destroy the second destroyer with three torpedoes. by this time some mosquito planes were carpet bombing the surface trying to catch my boat. seems that sometimes is impossible to scape, and if you don´t have more fishes to launch or you fail the shot .... ![]()
