So , you have met another Uboot in open ocean.

Thomsen , das ist Thomsen .... Das Boot.

Even the weather is similar to the one in the movie.

I've seen that a bunch of times. I came across a British sub about a week ago or so that I took out with the deck gun. She returned fire Causing about 2% damage to the hull, but I guess my gunners were just a little better and down she went.

Same happened to me, but a bit differently. One, the Brit sub was escorting a convoy, and two... I was in a pocket battleship

Take it for what it is. A rare mid ocean meeting of brother U-boats. Just another little interesting tidbit among many in this great game.

It's always good to meet a friend whilst out on patrol.

It happened again!










It might be a little hard to see but it was a type VIIC uflak platform cruising on the surface

This was actually a pretty successful patrol, with over 50,000 tons sunk over the course of two months in my type IXC

Yeah, ran into that 'flak-trap' boat about a year ago in that same area. Very cool.

I'm not sure you'll come across any if your playing the stock game.

I have often encountered friendly U-Boats off the Norwegian Coast during the April 1940 campaign. On one occasion a Type IIb overtook me on the same course less than 200 Metres of my starboard side (in foul weather so he appeared out of the fog when really close) and even when I went to 'Flank Speed' I couldn't catch up with him! What was that all about?

A. It's the wife
B. It's the boss
C. Stay off that French moonshine.



Nothing odd going on I'm sure everyone sees another U-Boat from time to time.
