^Nice ruslan!:salute:

I had a bad day june 6th 1942 in my Vllc near east coast of Florida also in bad visibility. Wasted 3 torpedoes for a great lakes freighter.:down: 1st one was a miss, the second one hit, but that tin can refused to sink and so I had to fire the third torp for coup de grace.

Ocean only Ocean No ships, no convoys nothing ....

January 1943; We all died near that small island in front of firth of Lorient. :wah:I'm not sure what happened, most likely it was mine laid by enemy. I was well away from the German laid minefield that is presented in the harbor map.
Can anybody verify, that there really is enemy laid mines near Biscaya bay u-boot bases in sh3?

Incidentally, a few days ago i sink a submarine, not far from Lorient

But I dont believe this is the reason :shifty:

@ruslan

I found this in the manual:

"Fair warning: GWX includes Allied minefields outside the Eastern Barrage, including minefields at depths where they will not affect surface ships but will affect U-boats at or below periscope depth."

So, I think that in theory it is possible to struck enemy mine anywhere.
It would be also fair the game to tell the player what hit him in the mission summary.

Nevertheless, the more realism, all the better. Thats how I like it.:up:
Its frustrating to die by a damn mine after all hair raising adventures experienced with enemy ASW forces from the very beginning of the war. But at the same time its rewarding to find that, this is what is really was about. Death lurking everywhere.

BTW, Congrats for sinking a pesky enemy sub.:salute: I tried that few times, but always missed. Its hard to make a proper solution not to have any information about subs in the recognition book...Well, if the seas are calm enough for the deck gun, or one have GNATs the case is different.

Speaking of enemy submarines...

I was making transit through the channel (near suicide in 1943) in hopes of stirring up some stuff towards the end of a dry patrol. As I was approaching the coast of France, I dove to periscope depth and made a turn back north-northwest and got a hit on the hydrophones. Target was identified as a T-Class British sub. I fired a spread of 3 electric torps at a range of 3000m. All missed the target so in a fit of foolishness, I ordered emergency surface, ahead flank, and had the deck gun manned. We sank the sub with 40 rounds from the 88. :arrgh!:

Sadly, there were three destroyers in the AO that picked us up two hours after the attack. We limped back to base after being DC'ed for 20 hours. I still count this patrol as a success, even though my boat was almost scrap metal! :yeah:

Difficult position in the quadrant CA

In the evening, while charging the battery was spotted purpose, medium transport.We fired a torpedo from surface position, which exploded in the ship's stern.We fired a few shells on the ship with deck gun to sink faster...

The fight was brief

Spotted a large and fast convoy with course north -northwest

In the first attack and four fell into the target

Destroyers attacked with depth charges, but we managed to get out

The convoy slowly extends to the northwest and we deployed a new attack
Good luck!
