New York by Night.
 

My last patrol.

I was on a patrol on the US east coast close to new york.

First ship i encounterd was this little nice Lake ship.

Then next day i spotted this hospital ship that i left alone.

After i completed my mission and a few sunken ships and downed aircraft i decided to try and sneak into New York.
Ive never been there in the game but i think its a must to se the liberty statue.

The straight was heavily guarded by loads of enemy ships.
And i was afraid of subnets and minefields.
i was lucky to spot a freighter that was inbound so i layed me just behind him on periscope depth.
To my suprise i managed to sneak past all thos destroyers. It was darn thrilling moment

And at a point i saw a passenger liner that was on outbound and came just in my way.
i had 3 Eels left and i pumped them right into the big fat liners hull and after a while she sunk. My first Liner in GWX was sunk. Nice trophy :)

It was night time so the pic is a bit dark.

Then i got into New York. It was quite a moment i had.
New York during night is quite beutiful ingame when the buildings are lited up.

SINK EM ALL!! :arrgh!:

I think that's what they do Jim :p :D :D:arrgh!: :up: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Nice screen from Lzs von swe when he go attacked by the airplane. Darn close call there :). When i get attacked by an airplane its allways a gambling. Will they miss the sub or hit it whit the bombs :D But its thrilling.

And Nibbelspanner, nice catch there of Rodney in a convoy. Good work :)

Jul 28, -42 at 0205 hours the U-201 was lost with all hands in the BE sector.
She was just diving after recharging her batteries in heavy fog when an Destroyer emerged from the fog and bombed Weis with crew to submariners heaven.
This is the last picture, taken when she left U-463 Jul 10´th.

Intercepted a heavily escorted convoy SW of Scapa. Stinking miserable weather, 300 meters visibility. Merchies going in opposite direction passing in perfect line 10-20 meters to one side. A large freighter loomed 360 degrees on the scope. Had just enough time to lower scope before he hit conning tower. Fired magnetic pistol torp from stern tube and dove to 150 meters. Torpedo hit but did not sink the ship. After escorts and convoy were gone, surfaced, to find the freighter sitting dead in the water.

Here's the pic of the coup de gras.

:arrgh!: :arrgh!: :arrgh!:

Ever wonder what happend to the ships you sink?

Is the bottom flat or what?

Well here it show how it can look :)

This ship landed on a shelf at aprox 200 meters depth.
Then it started to slowly slide down.

And then she slided down. And dissapered in the depth. That slide took the boat from 200 meters depth to over 1000. I didnt follow her further down so i just watched the slide untill she vanished :)
