Who else is holding up the honour of the U-Boats? - Page 50

KeptinCranky · 06-22-07, 07:43 PM

Jeesh it is!?!

you use a different bearing overlay, that's what got me confused.

and Brag, yes very true, but that's the Flagship, they've been showing that thing off all over the world since 1918

it may not be strictly strategically sound to sink it but the propaganda value shouldn't be underestimated, the Tommies think that thing is the bee's knees and nigh invincible.
sinking it with a puny uboat that's even cheaper to construct is a major coup.

nevertheless I still think Mohr is nuts, but the U-bootwaffe needs his special kind of lunacy, makes the rest of us look relatively sane

Mohr only sunk the hood like 3-4 times, I sunk him 22 times already.

Yeah, we need Mohr, I follow his adventures with great interest. His raid on Gibraltar was a classic.

:hmm: dont have anything to do today...

GIBRALTAR HERE I COME AGAIN !

Brag · 06-23-07, 11:49 AM

Glad to see Mohr is in Gibraltar. More booze left for us.

U-123
08 Sept 41
Returned from 14th GWX patrol. Weather was awful. One one clear day, the Gulf of Cadiz was buzzing with Tommy aircraft. Was attacked by an Anson at night.
Good thing had Bernard on board, I can blame several wasted torpedoes on him.
Visibility was 400 meters most of the time. So my kills were mostly manual at 0 gyro angle. The moment the target appeared on the scope set 5 degrees off center
hit the fire button.

Now's time for some serious partying at chez Lulu's. Total tonnage for career: 1,182,859. I hope Hitler doesn't invite me again for more coffee slurping.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 06-23-07, 12:58 PM

U-124 on patrol 31.
near gibraltar.

good weather.
no enemy aircrafts or DD's YET

Brag · 06-23-07, 04:33 PM

Look out for those airplanes near Gib. The Ansons will attack at night, even in mid 1940!

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 06-23-07, 05:01 PM

uhm... for that warning it is a bit to late now...

Morts · 06-23-07, 05:10 PM

U-122 returned to port after a short 12 day patrol
returned to base because she was out of torpedos
17 ships sunk

160meters under water, silent running.
2 DD´s and 1 Frigate attacking with depht charges.
Before my Boot sunk 2 larges cargos.

Butzis,
Bienvenido a bordo y buena suerte!

Oberleutnant z.S. Eicken

Fourth patrol. Approaching Wilhelmshaben after a month of storms and fog, we return in clear, calm weather. One large cargo sunk off Trondheim, one large cargo and two escorts sunk in a large convoy NNW of Lowestoft, position called in and returned to base after wasting a lot of torpedoes to weather, duds, 400m visibility and extremely shallow water. Sonarmann Günther claims at least one torpedo must have hit the seafloor - like the V destroyer did a bit earlier.

Our first destroyer kill. Worth a measure of smuggled whisky, that.

Preparing to head out of Kiel to partoll AF59. The eels are prepared and lubed and will hopefully find their targets.
