Close but no cigar in the english channel , dunno why this destroyer was not outfitted with depth charge dispensers, well lucky me anyway.

this is the screenshot where I 'invited' this destroyer to chase me in order to deal him some 'wolfpack medicine',

Screenshot 1 : the moment he passes.



After my aft torp hit him: (notice the mark it left on its bow, allready flooding.



Still shooting at me while going to the bottom:



A few days later, Just before the "LOS !" moment.



After first doing some target speed calculations



The torpedo run (first torpedo has just hit!):



And the result (still needed to surface and finish with the deck gun) guess I didn't hit the munitions where I should have :

A few more pictures.

It was on a long patrol that took 31 days outside Africas coast.

But first i spotted this nice light ship after i left Lorient close to portugies shore.




When i was outside Grande canaria i spotted a convoy. but i was in bad attacking position so i tryed to run att full speed on surface to get a better position but i go spotted by the escorts and they came after me.
I manage to sink one Black swan whit an rear torpedo.
And i guess the other 2 destroyers got so pissed and that they couldnt find me ( was diving real deep and silent runnin)

So they throwed out all of thiers starshell they had so it looked like the sky had got a lots of new shining stars.




After completing our mission outside Africas coast in real bad weather,,,




i decided to check out an small island that i barely could se on the map.
it was in middle of no where ( quadrant FM 28).

I found a small island and i could se some natives on the shore throwing coconuts at us.

But what suprised me was the depth so close to shore.

Look at the depth meter and the aproximty to shore.





Then i decided to sail to saint helena island and try to find some prey in the harbour.

I sneaked in there and they had only an armed trawler as patrol boat there so i sank it whit a well iamed Eel.

I sneaked in close to the harbour and saw an Fiji cruiser that i gave my last 3 torpedo. Then i tryed to sneak out when suddenly all hell broke loose.

Ive hited something or something had hited me.
Loads of damage and flooding and the sub sunk like a rock. At 90 meters depth i hited the bottom real hard so i took more damage.
We managed to recover from flooding but aft diesel engine was destroyed and many other things as well.

When i checked i saw what caused the problem.

MINES.

I was in the middle of a freking minefield.




I managed to get out from it and whit a crippled boat we got home safe to lorient. Just in time for christmas 23 december 1941.

I memorable patrol.

He got in my way

An armed trawler is allways a threat. They have a bad habit of casting tin cans that explodes under water.

And thos can scratch the painting of my sub

LoL it was a hole tribe. Around 35 of them.

I think the tribe is called The Troglodytes.

I could even hear they was screaming out the tribal chefs name in corus. BUNA,, BUNA,JIMBUNA.

Our chief had loads of coconuts after that, so we had cocunuts pie for 17 days.
Tasted yummy but it gives enourmous gases.

On another note i think that small remote island is a secret naval base for some odd people. Coz on every coconut we got in our head a small label was attached to them:

Whit regards. GWX.

I just dont understand what that GWX means. But i guess it was that BunaBunaJimbuna that was playing some tricks.
