I took out a carrier

Canovaro · 07-03-08, 04:17 PM

Finally, after 2,5 years (and several near misses and other bad luck), I finally sank a carrier.

I'm doing the Liverpool - Murmansk route with my brand new IXD2 and there are not many contacts here. I stumbled upon two convoys, both had a Bogue Carrier in their rows. Both times I got in and out easily. First time I couldn't aim for the carrier, and fired at a tanker. It was destroyed after the first hit.

The second convoy I was able to maneuvre right in front of the Bogue and fired four torpedoes. Three hit and one missed, hitting a destroyer some moments later

The Bogue was destroyed the moment the first torpedo hit it.

This lane turns out to be pretty interesting, also lots of Icebergs here.

How dose it feel?

Haven't encountered aircraft carriers just yet!

Are you sure they exist?:hmm:

Are they just Allied propaganda aimed at reducing our morale of the U-bootwaffe?

Help me!

Good show! I didn't sink a carrier until late 44 and I got a hell of a working-over for it. Never have sunk a fleet carrier though, only escorts like the Bogue.

Well done Canovaro!

I've never seen a carrier.

I intercepted a Bogue or Casablabnca class carier on its Torch run to Casablanca!

Sadly, a troop transport intercepted the torpedo I sent to the carrier.

Stoopid GIs saved the zoomies butts.

What about herr Balz? Or does he go for the bigger bait only?
