Here's from a couple of old careers.
Have'nt made it through 1940 yet, playing GWX and dead is dead.

Before leaving Kiel.


Some deckgunning.


Sailing away in the moonlight.

[Zero Niner]

Sunk by U-109 in AM51, Nov 1939.
I was returning to Wilhelmshaven with only 2 eels left after racking up 60,000+ tons when I received a report of a convoy due west of me, sailing at 6 kts east.
So it was an easy intercept.
I managed to remain undetected, & fired the 2 torps at about 4000m. One was aimed at the bow (below the first turret) and one at the stack.
Unfortunately somehow I got detected (at night, at persicope depth, 2 kts silent running ) & the whole convoy started to weave.
My first trop missed just forward of the BB's bow, but the second hit. The Revenge sank soon thefeafter.

[Zero Niner]

This was taken in the early days of SH3, pre-mod.
Can't remember much about this patrol, except that I exhausted all my torps and deck gun ammo taking down this convoy. I was in a Type VII then.
IIRC it was lightly escorted (maybe only one armed trawler or DD) & I went for that first. After it went down... well the fox was in the hen house!

That's cool! I did the same with a convoy outside Gibraltar in GWX. Sank the same number of ships too (only escort was a Black Swan, burning too, no idea why....)

Biggles I often speculate that when we come across a burning ship
in convoy under these circumstances

I speculate that it has taken previous damage often and most likely
by a German aircraft or occasionaly an AI sub. as for surface combatants
I imagine that would be more rare excepting maybe the channel

i think its more likely that the heavy sea is damaging ships sometimes.

[HanSolo78]

A small experiment of mine... looks pretty nice...

Burn baby burn...

I think that if thats the case its poorly modelled as flooding would
be a far more common sea damage issue than fire.

The crew on U-331 will always remember this sunrise
After hours of hearing dc´s exploding around the boat during the night they cheered four times for the sun and their captain

[Ubåtskapten]

This is U-47 on her second last patrol probably in late april 1940 if I remember correctly.

Leaving Kiel, I really like this skin with the green moss growing on the deck. All cred to Seth.


Attacking a resting taskforce up in Norway in a shallow water fjord.


The result!


U-47 later visited the Bergen-fjord, purple snow anyone? :rotfl:


Edit: It was the second last patrol, here is the returning.

Had foreward flame thrower installed incase we get into another
boarding party situation. sweeping the decks could be fun.

[Biggles]

What the.....
