Oh man!!!
The last two days have been the best I have ever had playng this game in years.
Mission 5: Patrol seemed pointles. Was not much going on when convoy was sighted. In the convoy was the HMS Rodney!! So after pauseing the game to jump up and down, I sank it with its one DD escort that was with it. All other ammo was put to use while surfaced agianst the convoy.
Altogether little less than 76,000 tons. Iron cross awarded to me and crew.
Mission 6: Not much at all. 20,000 tons worth of small ships and a schooner. I got the second iron cross for the Rodney though.
Mission 7: Sank a fishing boat after about a week of being skunked by weather and just lack of anything to shoot at. Neutral Convoy was spotted and it being reported as neutral almost made me skip over it.
Went to check it out and what did I see.
THE HMS NELSON!!!!!!
After an hour of getting into position I fired 4 in to her side and she went down. After that a Black Swan sang her last song. Then it was nothing but happy times on the surface. 5 large merchants, 2 modern tankers, 1 small merchant, and ohers.
15 ships sank for 105,465 tons.
I recieved the Knights Cross
My crew got so many I should have wrote them all down. It seriousley took me longer to hand out all the medals than it did the Nelson to go down.
I have had the best two days ever!!!!!
Sister ships sank by the same U-boat with in two days of each other, take that Tommy.
