Freetown...disaster in the making? - Page 2

akula_krieg · 07-20-07, 12:35 PM

Got away from the escorts, going to move south another 7 or 8,000 meters before surfacing. One tramp steamer down, convoy is continuing on course due west. The night is young...going to end-around and charge into the flanks for a night surface attack. Y'all oughta join me out here...things are going to get sporty

I have unfortunatly lost my navigator, WO and CE on my first patrol. Second patrol I lost my XO and the new WO. Things are getting dicey out there.

When you offered me the job, your WO used to get a one way ticked at the base, that's why!!!:rotfl:
You never told me you were going to call the WO in before a combat begins!!

CapZap

now you do :rotfl:
there's still need in skilled officers

btw the WO refused to get down when we attacked a Revenge... now he had his ticket

so... you interested ?

Caught 'em with their pants down. Surfaced, approached the convoy with a half-moon behind me, not an escort in sight. A spread of four torps yielded three hits...two large cargos down, 12,000 tons each. That's three out of this convoy thus far. Am moving behind the convoy for an approach on the other side while I reload the tubes.

GWX just rocks. And Freetown is my new favorite hunting ground.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 07-20-07, 03:24 PM

blast away with the deck gun while reloading the tubes

teach em what the kriegsmarine is made of

akula_krieg · 07-20-07, 03:30 PM

Kpt. Mohr...I imagine that whenever a new crewman gets assigned to your boat, he feels somewhat like a Star Trek extra...

Apologies if you don't get it :rotfl:

Seriously though, when I run out of torps...four bow shots left...I might just punch out a few parting shells, if only to drive the escorts mad

-akula-

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 07-20-07, 03:34 PM

what you mean with the star trek thing ?
dont u have a WW2 term to use for that ?

Steel_Tomb · 07-20-07, 03:36 PM

Lol I tried freetown once, thought better of it. Not only were there about a dozen DD's patrolling the area there were lots of PT boats which are just a pain in the ass because they're so quick they are on you before your WO even see's them! Unlike Mohr I'm a bit wary of harbours, my tactics are not suicidal and are best in the middle of the atlantic lol.

Btw...like my new sig? Made it in about 5 minutes on photoshop

On old Star Trek shows, any extra, or special guest star, in an episode was always killed off.

I guess the WW2 term would be "cannon fodder" :rotfl:

they feel like "VICTORY IS MINE"
unless they're called Bernard... then they feel like "THE TORPEDO TUBE IS MINE" :rotfl:

Yeah, the thing I like about it, is that the text fits in perfectly. Its a bit rough around the edges so to speak which makes it look great against the old style grainy picture.
