After 15 years of gameplay Sunk the Hood!
Wow. Been playing the game since 2007 and before tonight I had only seen the Hood once before in game.
09SEP39
U-34, type VIIA
Oblt. Gunter Lauer
On first patrol of the war. Sighted task force SE of Iceland. ID'd Hood, Renown class BC and two cruisers escorted by about 5 destroyers. They closed to about 10,000 m and I sent a long range spread of 4 torpedoes(WO assist, I'm not that good!).
Figured maybe I would get at best one or two hits. All four hit! She slowed and quietly rolled to port and slid to the bottom.
Escorts never detected me.
Almost anti-climatic...
But, still WOW.
