Managed to infiltrate a task force sailing to Luzon on my second patrol.
2 battleships, 2 heavy cruisers, few destroyers and a huge tanker of what i was able to see in the darkness...with very bad sea.
Fired 4 fishes with my Porpoise to the Kongo at 1800/2000m.
2 hits, 2 premature detonation. Dived 70m before DD was coming, but it seems they couldn’t find me. So decided to fire my 2 stern ones, and i succeeded...but the battleship was still alive almost stopped.
Each time, only one DD tried to spot me without success. Back at 70m depth, waiting for the sinking...that never come!
The battleship was sailing away only at 1 knot, and wasn’t very annoyed by escorts, so decided a last approach.
Fired 3 more (after a long reload) and finally with those last 3 hits, he finally sunk.
Deep slow escape, and heading for new Surabaya base...with 32000 tons in the pocket
Didn’t find escort very nasty, maybe because of bad sea (15M/S) or maybe because of low skill level
Anyway still was fun, and i like the way it took 7 torpedoes to sink a battleship.
