1st Kill - Silent Hunter 3

[Weasel]

There is a new Tigger Maru patch out at subsim which will bring SH4 up to 1.6.4 if you are using TM. IF not then they will be releasing a new patch around end Nov. Now for the fun stuff:

Here I was NW of Ireland in my type IXB in horrible weather when I ran into a convoy. With the waves breaking over the periscope I didn't have much of chance of getting a good track on the ships, but I did catch enough of a glimpse (it was night in Feb) to pick out an oil tanker. I quickly estimated speed at 8 knots, course 60 degrees, depth 7m (because of the heavy waves). I opened up my 3 loaded tubes and set a spread of 6 degrees, range 2200 meters. LOOOSE! Well a few minutes later I was greeted with two torpedo explosions and the breaking back of an oil tanker. WOOO HOOO! Tried it again the next night after evading the ASW and tracking the convoy but no joy this time, all three missed.
