U-46 Patrol 5

[Lane]

New emblem for U-46 Ready to Leave Patrol 5
St Nazaire



Coast Merchant approching U-46 opening tube doors
one and two Area BF17



Ready to fire one and two torps



Look like Hits with 1,2 fired target destroyed



I think this is the C-3 Cargo ship approching BF17



C-3 takes her first hit



Took all 4 bow torps and stern torp to finsh her

She takes another hit "She is tough"




She goes down after my stern torps cuts her in half



ll these were taken in stormy conditions
half the time my scope was under water from waves
U-46 move on North to her patrol zone
Cheers

Nice shooting! Is the skull and crossbones one of the ingame pictures or did you add it yourself? I have never seen it in game.

Also i would say when you find lone small merchants fire just one torp and wait 10 mintes to see if they sink. One is usually enough to sink one unless you are unlucky. But C3's are so tough aren't they, they seem to take forever to sink lolz! Nice hits

Dom,
I got the skull and crossbones from Evid Jesters 76's
Emblem mod from Neals download's SH3 there was
a emblem for some boat numbers? Jester said I was
luckie there was one for my boat. first I got the 7th
flotilla then I saw my boat emblem and added it.
I think he said these were history correct? Never
try to look it up?
Look's like a real Pirate ship now I think on my last
patrol I did sink a Neu cargo ship I zoom in one sinking
and it was flying the stars & strips , American
Hey its really hard at night to known what you are
attacking I made a visual on a Merchant at night and startfiring deck gun long range made a few hits and it started firing back I dived to p-dept and fired my last
stern torp and missed and took off for home.
he was long gone in dark
I like the day attack's best.

Yeah skull and crossbones is historical.

Now you have the Uboat in my story i wrote on the main website He had a skull and crossbones cool

You should get used to night attacks because eventually you will have to do them!

Thank's Dom for info I am patrol 6 things going slow?
Was in stormy conditions passing thru hot BF area
when to AL69 complet 24 hr patrol " sea state medium"
moved on north east to north of Irland AM area Report
of Large convoy passed thru area probiley heading
for Liverpool. Found a long small enemy cargo ship sunk
with one torp. Saved in that area Keep looking for that
first convoy contact Keep a eye on fuel gage may have
to leave area for home port St Nazaire bet I could find
something in BF area if weather bad in area.
