Well it's 1942, and I'm commanding U-130, one of the U-boats in Operation Drumbeat so.... off to American waters!
I was going to try and set up a meeting between an Ocean Liner and the bottom of the Atlantic.

But it's a long trip, and I came across a convoy halfway. A nice chance to see if I can manually make three torpedoes hit three different ships at the same time. Well it kind of worked:

I hit the ship in the back about 6 seconds after the one in the front. Close enough for me. At the same time another torpedo hits a target behind me (but I have to admit I let my Weapons Officer do the calculations on that last one).

Then I got greedy and tried to setup one more torpedo solution... (I do that a lot :/ ) But by then a destroyer pinpointed my position by my periscope -I assume-. And then another one. So the cat & mouse game begins... Luckily I just installed the Bold decoys:

But it didn't help me. Got hit by a depth charge. One aft-torpedo tube destroyed and a lot of flooding (but completely no hull-damage

), just as I was in the middle of crash-diving

So I go down FAST. I order my best men to repair the damage as fast as possible, as I watch my depth going to 180, 190, 200, 210...

And that's when the flooding is finally stopped. I blow ballast and just in time I manage to rise 30 meters. After a VERY long time the destroyers finally give up.
Well, no hull damage, so of course we continue on our travel to the US east coast. Where I manage to sink quite a few ships. Still haven't found an Ocean Liner or Large Passenger ship... but got some nice screens of the ships I did meet. Aah, happy times..

Nice shots...that's one aircraft that won't be flying soon.

Helping the ship wrecked

Bakkels and iambecomelife very good shots.

Bakkels · 06-19-11, 01:38 PM

Yup. That pilot is definitely in the hot seat.

Hm now that I'm watching my own screenshots I see the color of my water changes a lot when the weather shifts

Time to do some tweaking in the environment files me thinks.

Attacked by a Tribal-class. Fired straight down the center, torp took out both propellers.

Needless to say, I cleared out of the area very quickly.

U-130 on it's way to another mission. Goal is a patrol along the American East-Coast starting off the coast of New York, ending in the assigned patrol grid in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.

Damn, what disgusting and frightening sight. I'll probably see nightmares about that one.
