A bit of moonlighting..

... and a little while later..

Correct me if I'm wrong... these ships seem to be going around in circles waiting for me to pick them off, with the accompaning escorts running all over the place.
All seem to be concentrated in my patrol area. AN7953, as if planned by the campaign maker ?

I monitored a freighter doing a full circle around me.
Beginning to think of a dynamic campaign. :hmmm:

The more ships I sunk around the Thames estuary, the more escorts seemed to arrive.
It was getting a bit hot so I moved north.
I must admit the sensors are working well in SH5, I could see the ship they spotted, dived to do a sonar search and found it right on top of us.

With no time to get fancy, using basic Trig we went in for he kill.

My way to Scapa Flow. Leaving Kiel on October 8, 1939 at 11:00 am, I will enter Scapa Flow on a moonless dark night from October 13-14, just after midnight. I will accompany my journey with an artistic narration, reading the chapter "the Bull of Scapa Flow" from Thaddeus V. Tuleja's book "Twilight of the Sea Gods" (1958).

Looking ahead, I want to say that in my sea passage the weather played on the side of history: moving towards Scapa Flow, for all the time I made only one celestial fix with Sun on October 9 and the next few days, until October 13, it was overcast, which made it impossible for celestial navigation (this is also mentioned by Günther Prien in KTB U-47). So I relied on dead reckoning to find the entrance to Holm Sound.
I could not deny myself a trick and before going to Scapa Flow, I found out the coordinates of the navigation light near the coastal defense artillery bunker at the entrance to Holm Sound, but only solely in order to reproduce the historically accurate episode when the position of U-47 was fixed with the Scapa Flow coastal lights, which Prien wrote about in KTB (Prien did it on October 12th, I did it on October 13th before entering Holm Sound)
Going on an 11 hour non-stop trip, I could not know for sure how it would end: my first attempt was interrupted by a spontaneous CTD after 3 hours of playing and then I thought, if I don't get blown up by a mine in Skerry Sound, then CTD will kill me when forcing Skerry Sound.

New ships at sea trials

Very nice. :Kaleun_Applaud::Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Asked Herr Zeiss if he could fix the 1920x1080 blurred scope optics (TWO's+TDW) of my sub.
He's done a decent job, but says he wants to pretty-it-up a bit more. :D
Onkel Karl.. looked at me a bit funny as it's non standard, but admits he'll put it on all subs when finished.
He wanted to promote me but that came with a shore job.. so I declined.:arrgh!:
