I finally sank a Battleship!!!!
I've been playing SH3 and GWX since day one and I've only encountered a battleship a few times.
 All of those times I was either out of torps or I got spotted and never got a shot off ....Well not this time  I was just west of the Rockall Banks when I got a convoy sighting report. The U-99 (us the U-99  ) races south to intercept!Smoke on horizon! That's no freighter...it's a destroyer and its heading straight at us! Torpedo eins...los ...hit! scratch the lead corvette! I'm now ahead of the convoy, right in the middle! a perfect attack position... ...picking targets... 4 whale factory ships..2 small tankers.... and a large shadow... HMS Nelson!!!!   Make ready tubes 1-3, set depth 12 meters  Torpedo eins....los zwei...los drei.... los waiting..... torpedo one...passes under battleship, as does 2 and 3! #@$%^#@!!! I set the torps 1/2 a meter too deep! @#$$ing bad luck I reset number 4 a half meter shallower...los Periscope spotted and destroyed by gunfire! @#$%@%$# not @#$$ing again observation scope damaged! A hit, in the magazine!!! The battleship slows to a stop.  I go deep to reload and ditch the escort looking for me. I circle around and surface to repair the observation scope. Battleship spotted, dead in the water! Dive! Scope is spotted again!! Ahail of gunfire from the wounded beast... Not this time Mr. Battleship! Fire one! Fire two! ........  2 hits! Iron Crosses for everybody! Beer's on the Captain

Since we're sharing:
 I've sank a few. But it never gets old, does it? It's a special feeling sending one to the bottom |

You can knock off large numbers of merchants, make escorts depth charge the wrong area of ocean and down half the RAF with your 20mm pop gun. But nothing, repeat nothing, beats the thrill of sinking a large capital ship!
 Well done!

My congratulations to you...you are truly an example for the rest of us lowly Lt. to follow.
Just curious, what realism setting were you on? I am asking so I know what I have to aspire to. |
