I had my first successful convoy kill today. It was 1940, and I was steaming back to port after having patrolled the waters southwest of the British Isles. I had seen no prey on my last patrol, and this one was looking dry as well, until I spotted a convoy nearby. I moved to intercept, and went to periscope depth. The forward escort went right over me without hearing a thing, and soon came along the convoy. At first all I got were some small merchant ships, but I spotted a large whale processing ship, and right behind it, a modern tanker, and they were both in the line of ships directly in front of me, perfect shots!

I slammed four eels right into the whaling ships hull, and she went down in a little over a minute. I would've only used two, but she was still going strong after the first pair. Unfortunately, I had no eels left for the tanker, but I was happy, this was the first kill of my career. I spotted a nice sized merchant vessel getting ready to line up with my aft tube, but before I could get a shot off, I was fired upon. For the next few hours I evaded the convoy's escorts as they tried to finish me off, but we were in deep waters and they couldn't score a hit as I broke into evasive maneuvers.


As dawn broke, I decided to surface. U-100 emerged unscathed with our encounter with the convoy.


I came out of the attack with 12k tons under my keel, putting me at fifth place on the leader board with only one ship sunk.

Right - i was standing on turret "A" with my Canon IXUS :rotfl::rotfl:-

BTW - remove the "shipname.zon" and you can make such screenshots from every point of the ship (but don't forget to put the "Shipname.zon" back into the folder "Shipname" before starting a new patrol!).

Or you can script two ships within the radii of their "camera" spheres. Thus you select the camera for the one you don't want to take shots of and that lets you "board" ships for shots like those.

@bbw. It's Fubar's VIIC U201. I'm pretty sure the link is somewhere in the mods list, but if you don't see it let me know and i'll put it up. edit/add: it's still in Fubar's Filefront page on http://hosted.filefront.com/fubar45 . Look in File directories/lowres skins ... it's low_res_VIIC_U201.

Diving for sound check
