U-94 Returns, succesfull !

Einzelganger · 11-11-07, 05:37 AM

Allright, i've recently decided to increase the difficulty level in GWX and have started a new carreer with only the external cam enabled to allow me to see all the '' eye-candy ''. That level off difficulty settings in GWX is a first for me.

U-94 has now returned from only it's second patrol and allthough it now only is late 1940 i've enjoyed the increased challenge more then ever and felt like sharing it.

In het assigned patrol grid U-94 made contact with an English convoy. It managed to sank 5 ships from it, which included 3 large tankers. Giving chase to the convoy, making contact with it again after a night time hunt,whereby the outer escorts were barely avoided from time to time, and finally having sunk the biggest targets she set course for home, low on fuel and with only 3 stern torpedo's left.

During the trip home i came across a Tribal DD and a coastal tanker travelling together. With 1 of the torpedos i hit the Tribal DD which then attempted to engage U-94 but the damage done to it was too great and it finally came to a halt. Low in the water and now seemingly helpless i came around to set up another shot on her during which i let her sonar operator clearly hear where i was

to make a point. A torpedo hitting the ship directly underneath the bridge finished it off with a huge explosion. After some pursuit i again made contact with the coastal tanker but since the weather became worse and the deckgun couldn't be used the last torpedo was used to sank her.

Although i know times will become much more difficult for U-94 i've enjoyed the heck out of these first patrols
