HMAS Vampire?? you're a vampire slayer too now? :rotfl:

I've been playing sh3 too much, I was cycling home from work, saw someone in his cessna circling above my town and Immediately thought:

Flugzeug Gesichtet auf 350! Mittlere entfernung! I'm worried now

I think my next career wil be a IXc starting in October of 41, just enough time to do one patrol before the US joins in and I can join the whole Paukenslag Extravaganza, get us some info on the US coast

5. October 1940, Tanker Alley

Just had my first successful large convoy attack and the most amazing spread.

In my previous convoy attacks I've been approaching from 45 degrees a beam, surfaced - increase to flank speed when near visul detection range - dive, kill the engine and drift into a distance of approx. 1 nm. This doesen't work for me in SHIII as the ASDIC picks me up every time.

This time I tried a different tactics and approached from close to 90 degrees a beam - expected to miss the convoy, but after having evaded the flank escort I found myself between the two nearest columns - a little too close for comfort! I had the weather in my favour and due to a few miserable convoy attacks I decided to take my time and get some proper firing solutions programmed instead of the rush jobs I've done earlier. I select a Medium Tanker and a Large Merchant (a C-2?) for my two spreads and down-periscope to do my calculus. When I'm ready I raise periscope with my finger on the trigger and sweaty palms - when moving the scope back to the Medium Tanker I spot the "HMS Nelson". This is the first time I have a Battleship in my sights, so I decide that it at least deserves a try, even though it's a poor AOB and almost 2500 meters. I fire a two torpedo spread at the Tanker, one fish at the Large Merchant and swing the periscope around to fire one T-II set for magnetic detonation at the Nelson. For good measure I fire tube 5 at an Ore Carrier directly on my 6 at 800 yards.

All my fish hits their targets except one - it passes the tanker and scores a one-shot kill on a Medium Merchant! The Nelson and the Tanker are also one-shot kills, the C-2 sinks later on and the ore carrier get's it in the rudder, but continues. I walk away with 50,000 tonnes for the costs of 5 torpedoes!

15 January 1941
AK 38
U-123

Been following and attacking large convoy for 3 days. Tonight, calm seas, full moon.

Got to intercept point after dark. Convoy approaching with some nice targets. Could not see any escorts. Was about to fire at a large merchant 1200 meters away.

Ping, ping, ping. Out of nowhere a destroyer barrelled toward us 500 meters away.
Full speed ahead, dive!. 20 Degree turn toward Destroyer.

While still with periscope above water the chart update still did not show the destroyer.

The first DC salvo barelly missed. Pretty soon, the destroyer had its buddies around me, dropping charges like unwanted garbage.

It took over 3 hours to shake off these buggers

Has anyone else had a similar experience with DD's not showing on the update on a clear night?

22 March,1940.

Enjoying a GWX v.1.03 masterpiece. Type IXB U-123 has just been upgraded to Germania Werft Kapselgeblasse Engine and clean,new to smallest details enters Deutsche Bucht heading for her 5th patrol.

17 ships sunk for total of 151 000 GRT Merchant Ship Tonnage so far.
