Silent Hunter CE and the escorts from hell

Hopped in my trusty S boat out of Manila and headed north to fend of the Japanese invasion. sunk a few san pans and hit a harbor sinking a destroyer and three merchants there but my luck was soon to run out.

100 miles north east of the tip of Luzon I came across a Battleship and three destroyers making 23 knot's. They zigged right into an intercept coarse and I closed to within 1,200 yards of the beast. I let loose a spread of three Torpedo's and all three found their mark to no effect.

I dove to 240 feet and went silent but nothing I did could shake these two destroyers that pounded me relentlessly for over three hours. Everytime I was close to slipping away they would find me and hit me again and again and again. Needless to say it got old and the boat got leaky and with flooding I could no longer hold my depth, the batterys were damaged the pressure hull was leaking in half the compartments so I blew to the surface and found out that my deck gun was out of service! No final stand here, Surender was the only option

The thing that gets me is that anytime I have been able to get below 200 feet the Jap's could never reach me and I always escaped with ease. These guys were getting consistent hits on me at 250!

Emporer's finest!

Still a great sim!
