Succesful attack on a H/K group!

mstgnymike · 10-29-07, 01:04 AM

I wish i got screens but i just finished a patrol in which the hunters became the hunted. It was ballsy but i couldnt find a damn merchant so i did it. I was just about to enter the strait of gibraltar with decks awash in 1941 and bam in a triangle formation i found a Hunt 1 leading another hunt 1 and a tribal. I let 1 eel fly at each hunt and two at the tribal. They all hit at perfect time and the whole group would never kill another boat again!

Man that's cool. How did you get them all to hit?
I just caught two small Merchants travelling together in a line.
I set myself up at 90 degrees & about 8-900m and let fly at the first in line. Then did a small turn to the right & tried to get the second one, but I couldn't line up. I finely got him, but what should have been about 30 seconds took me another 4 minutes.
I'm using the auto thingie & then I turn it off just prior to shooting so I can pick my spot, but the numbers went in the opposite direction & when I turned the other way that was wrong also.
It's got me stumped.

Such a beautiful thing as that deserves may rounds and toasts.

Love to see you get away with that against Johnny Walker and his merry men from the 2nd support group!

Well done, but watch out for the rest of the RN, as they'll be after you for a spot of revenge!

That sort of action could come under the category of ;Brave/Stupid. At least you managed to sink em.
Although just till you wait till you get attacked by carrier based H/K groups - very nasty.
