Those Nasty New Zealanders! or patrol 2 of the Med

Just an update. Took some advice from a wise man that said if I want to be "entertained" I should go to Alexandria (current date April 16, 1941) so I am on my way.

Cleared Gilbraltar - minor damage - and yes this time @ 150m & silent but still they found me or at least got close, good news was only some slight damage.

On the way to Alexandria I decided to go fishing for NZ merchants again CN25 seems to be the place. Its the flag; draws me to them, along with the Australians colors. :|\

I spy/spot a coastal merchant with that lovely blue flag and union jack. Ahh Zealanders! again. This time I am going to save eels and just surface to give them a taste of 88mm.

Guess what happened?

They shot back! Those animals put what looked like the biggest gun I have ever seen on a merchant; I am guessing it was a siege cannon. Good thing they are not better shots, a round landed nearby, still thought we were going to be capsized by the explosion.

Fortunately the Type VII is a fast swimmer and we dove hard.

On top of that problem with him, he is wiggling away at 7 knots. I fired eel #1 only to see it bounce off its hull - those devils armor that coastal too!?

Fire tube two! I give the order finally sending that mutant to floor....

But I have a new found respect for those ships flying those colors...

BTW I love my new avatar; hope I get to keep it for a while...
