Default Target lit up

Can you imagine how would the crew of the intermediate tanker feel when they saw this?

Thought this was pretty nifty, was going through the chanel just as the Battle of Brittan started:



It was quite the experience to see a massive triangle moving over me and towards England. Very cool though all flying in formation and you could see all the bomb racks if you looked at the underside.

Hi folks

next patrol with the type XXI. Leaving Trondhein in Feb. :


Good weather is looking something diffferent. But my boat is some kind of camoflaged, so you can't see it realy::


The patrols are getting better and better. Star shells from more than 10 km distance::



Got a "Southampton-Class" cruiser, but he hit me too with his shells:


After all, i've reached March, 1945. Just one or two patrols to end(o.W.)

Gruß

So, will your final mission be taking you to Argentina?

That triangle wouldn't have been anywhere as big if you had witnessed the return flight

Lol yeah, especially towards the end when the losses were just plain embarrassing. Would've been cool to see if the planes had any flak damage on if. The torpedo damage mod doesn't seem to reflect onto planes (as far as I can see so far).

Default Breaking the surface

U-505 surfaces after sinking the Egyptian steamer and her escort - British Black swan Frigate.




The steamer went down in flames after two coup de grace. I can not imagine what she was carrying.

Why the sad face next to 64 dead, and yet the next victim lost 409 souls? Personally I'd rather have been incinerated within seconds than set adrift with flotsam for company for days (if really unlucky), or worse - a liferaft full of slowly diminishing colleagues, until my own agonising death!

Now I'm depressed, I'll have my own sad face now...

Just keep repeating "It's only a game, it's only a game."

Doesn't work for me, but you might have better luck.

Patience is a big plus, maybe it had gone faster, if you gave her a few eels to (if you had any left)
