I wouldn't get comfortable until you are docked at LaSpezia. The trip isn't over yet.

What game year is it for you?

That looks pretty good, might be a 100K + patrol
109,000 tons, one torpedo left, 57 rounds of HE left in the deck gun. I hit a Medium cargo in convoy amidships. I waited until dark, closed, fired off three rounds from the deck gun and crash dove to escape the two C&D class DDs bearing down. The milled around for 15 minutes and left. I surfaced, saw the convoy changed course 90 degrees. Am following, will close with Medium Cargo and finish her off, saving my last torpedo for something larger I hope. I have never sniped with a deck gun, so this is new.

Well done Von Swe!

DECEMBER 1939! OF ALLTIMES! Happy times my ass...lol

U-52 was on her way home, when I got the report of a Large convoy. Spot her, and ahead full to set up an ambush. Set it all up. Periscope up....Black Swan. Two torps missed....Rear torp missed after she passed overhead. So fire my torps. (red triangles cos id fiddles with depths and speeds after swithcing tomanual for a second on the weps officer board) and then got depth charged. We sank to about 174 metres. The immersion of GWX SH3 is awesome. My hull began to crumple. Could hear it, was scary. I love this game. Trying to get out now. Been damaged, badly damaged. But flooding is all sorted. Just got to pray lol. Was such a massive convoy though. 4 files of 5 or 6 ships each. Such a waste.
