1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3

[RedDevil]

Amazing..after all this time.. I've finally managed to sink a ship!!!!!

I sank a large European cruise ship (18k+tons) flying the Japanese flag off the coast of Borneo and avoided the 3 destroyers protecting it.. Oh happy day..

sadly tho, I managed to shoot off 2 torps into the wild blue without any targets (damn enter button).. but I won't mention them in my report..

I shot a 4 torp spread at the liner that all missed astern.. then swung the sub around and launched 2 more, of which both hit square in the middle and slowed it down to a crawl..
I slipped my sub back around and crawled up next to the liner and hid from the escorts while we reloaded a tube after which I moved off to the side and let fly another into the opposite broad side of the sitting duck (it was under way, speed estimated @ 2 knots) and in a spectacular explosion it went down within seconds (real sinking time option is on)

the escorts being on the opposite side of the liner, never saw or heard me as I slipped away until nightfall to surface and clear the air.. :)

Total submerged time approaching and escaping was over 9 hours.

Not a bad game after all :P

now SH 3 has me irritated as I can't slip past Scapa Flow and out into the Atlantic.. I keep getting detected and sunk by wandering destroyers :(
of course the 18 meter water depth isn't helping I guess..
