Lets Get The Party Started!!

OMG This is like... THE... single biggest sinking I have ever made in GWX or even in Silent Hunter III for that matter!

Picture the scene, its foggy, the sea is high at 15 meters per second. The Lookout spots a destroyer, then another, then another! Lo... whats this? A collossal silhouette in the middle!? An Illustrious carrier! OH MY WORD!!!

In we go, past the screen, past the shells, diving to periscope depth, Salvo for tubes 1-4. She shoots! She SCORES!! (3 outta 4) I musta hit some critical stuff cuz it sank like a brick by the arse end.

23,000 tons. I think the celebration banner needs to come out of retirement once again! Oh this is too stupendous for words, I gotta good feeling that I may be well on course for a 50k patrol (at least!!!)

Oh yeah, thats right! I got away from 3 Destroyers hunting me! I am just brilliant! (and arrogant too! but hey!)

You better boogie off to my Knights Cross party, that party has been rocking for well over three days now.

Well done !! Attacking in this weather is a bit more difficult but makes the escape a lot easier... Every time I spot this kind of target it's either too far away and I can't catch up or I'm on the way home and out of torpedoes

thankyou! I know this probably must be small potatoes to most of you, some probably sank half a dozen of them things, but, to me its monumental, its the biggest most impressive sinking I have ever made, and perhaps ever will make!

To date I have not sunk one Aircraft Carrier.

Sunk seven Battleships.

Sunk ten Passenger Liners.

Well done on your first big kill.
