After dealing with only 6 torps in my Type II, I finally got the Viic

with a deck gun.. I headed to AN76 an after dealing with two convoys in HEAVY fog I gave up because there was no way to see past 300m

I finally let the weather give a little and just landed a huge convoy with about 15 wships and 3 escorts..

I showed my self by surfacing and flank speed, until all 3 escorts were after me.. I sunk to P depth and waited till each of them were about 500M away and fired a fast Magnetic torp at each of them, two of them split in two and the third one took a little bit but finally sunk.

Now I have about 15 small merchants all alone.. I sunk about 5 of them with torps and deck guns, on the surface the entire time, just picking them off one by one..

There are some scamps left and a couple torps with about 90 rounds of HE shells left..

I had to go to work this morning so I saved it before I left, can't wait till I get home, I think I will be able to finish the rest of these ships off..

I should have a ton of renown I think when I finish..

I am using GWX and wondering if the Escorts are going to get harder, it seems easy almost when they come straight at me in a direct path.

If I do miss though I am screwed and its usually all over in my shallow depth water of 40M
