Shortest Career - Ever!

[papa_smurf]

Started new career Oct '43 from Bergen with the idea of making it to late '44 so I could get a XXI.

From the outset things didn't look good. As I just leaving port all heel breaks loose as the base is bombed by the Allies - manage to get out with no damage. During the patrol I have to crash dive on numerous occasions to avoid aircraft, and thinking this was how my patrol was going to be like this all the way to my patrol grid, I settled in.

All this changed 5 days in as I was just past the Skye my radar operator detected a radar signal, so thinking yet another attack I dived to 40m, but upon diving I picked up multiple hydrophone contacts, so I plotted a course to intercept and found a taskforce and in the middle was this!


I thought to myself - JACKPOT! So blined by the thought I launched 4 fish straight at it not even thinking of the consequences. Boy did I regret it! As soon as I launched I dived as I would normally do, but was set upon by 2 destroyers which found my straight away (blasted sonar) - tried to evade with barely any success, they always found me! After taking heavy damage I was forced to surface and "surrendered"
(Thats how I saw it, but in game was destroyed)

Note to self - Back to 1939, its safer!
