Best patrol ever!

maillemaker · 04-01-10, 07:51 PM

Last night I came across a convoy in a storm. It had my first-ever battleship I encountered on the open sea - a Revenge class.

I sank the battleship and 7 other juicy targets, including huge tankers, and large merchants. I took down 93,558 tons from two assaults on the convoy!

100% realism, too!

Nice work!! What kinda boat and torpedo loadout did you take out to sea?

pickinthebanjo · 04-01-10, 08:07 PM

yeah thats a hell'of a patrol, I just got my first battleship as well last night HMS Rodney

Type IX, full electric loadout as always, unless I have to dock somewhere where I can't choose.

You have more luck then me. I stumbled across my first ever task force, and what do I find, but the HMS Hood! Unfortunetly I couldn't attack it because I spotted them from the South West and they were traveling North West at 21 knots and were out of my reach.

Aw that's heart breaking. But have no fear the 3rd Reich has a new weapon that will strike fear into the English heart. She is named after our greatest hero. She is on schedule to launch in May of 41' and something tells me that she will meet the Hood and she will be victorious. No worries comrade I'm afraid you were fated to miss her.

It is often the case that they can't be intercepted because of they're high speed.

Luck plays a big part.....if your ahead of them they can't hear you (usually) because of said speed and the odds are turned 180 degrees in your favour.
