I take back what I said about TFs

Kaluens,

It is oct 24-1939.

I have intercepted by sheer accident a TF that was steaming NW Grid AF7542.

I was at max TC when I got the ship sighted auto TC slow down...of course it dropped me in the lap of the aforementioned TF.


Anyways, on to the meat and potatoes of my post. I was always firm believer that TFs were lame and not worth any effort whatsoever due to the fact that most were:

5 DDs

5 DDs 1 Dido class

All torpedo boats

5 DDs and a Bogue class

Well I take it back... after almost being steamed over by a DD, how he missed me I have no idea, I popped the scope up for a peek. Hmm 5 DDs blechh.. wait a tick.. whats this .. The Hood ..wow... wait.. theres more.. trailing behind the big ship are 2 more big ships .. The Rodney and The Nelson.. Iconceivable.

I just finished getting sunk in 44 and had just started a new career at 57% realism.. I knew I should have stayed in arcade mode. Oh well..

I have managed to put 3 eels in the Hood, her stern is under, the Rodney took one in the nose and her bow is burning, the Nelson took 2 amidships and seems unfazed. I am currently being molested by 5 DDs just circling and bombing.

Im sure they will need more eels to sink but with the slow reload and rookie crew it was hard enough just hittin the bastiges. I so wish I could signal you guys to come help ..I hate to see them get away.


Interesting side note The Rodney and Nelson have continued on The Hood has remained with the DDs and is circling as well, altho she is crtically wounded.
