Game-log 2

Game missions undertaken on 19/4/2015
WP invite using VII-C/41 levels 3-4 Officers and various levels of crew on board DG 8.8 - Flak 3.7 14 assorted mix of torps.

Area AM 31

3rd Patrol Joining HERRIA's WP The MO sink 2 warships.

Jumped to Obs position DCAS, Flak up -- At DA and obs by both of us had revealed (5 heavies) 4 Counties and Carrier Courageous with 5 escorts 2 FC's 3 V&W's. No chat working. Only 2 of us in WP.

Action taken HERRIA' had fired torpedoes and sunk leading Flower and sent 2 at Courageous. Invite sent to me to join another WP no way to decline as global was not working and left invitation open, server hates refusals.

At PD Flower off my port placed engines in slow reverse and fired a Wren@ 1080m dived to 15m to my surprise a single torp sinking MO met.

Returned to PD fired on a county using a T:1 mag depth 7 hit amidships causing 5x's damage and got the attention of an escort, a V&W racing towards me from back of TF fired a Wren@ 1200m engines in HF reverse and took boat to 15m scope down.

Report of damage to her aft, using rudder hard over to keep up with escorts turn so keeping her ahead, she is firing dc's to my port@ 350m so coming to PD and quick check on tactical map revealed she had 3x's fired T:1 impact @ 630m and hit. Another V&W was coming up fast astern of me fired a Wren from stern tube dived to 25m scope down engines in LF reverse and soon a report of hitting her astern.

More dc's again port side of me about 400m and tactical showing escort moving away so came to PD. From tactical it looks like major damage to rudder/screws on that second V&W another escort in area now. Sought out 1st V&W and fired another T:1 using mag depth @ 1050m and sunk her again dived to 25m scope down. Reports of dc explosions.

Came back up to PD and spotted a V&W on top of HERRIA so changed course to assist. Thinking to myself had he joined my party to assist or had that escort snagged him earlier. No Chat was having effects.

HERRIA was close to the V&W revealed as undamaged by tactical and circling his position, Her speed was 16kts and moving away from HERRIA so fired a wren@ 850m at her. HERRIA had fired a torpedo at 2nd V&W DiW now and my wren had acquired the V&W harassing HERRIA. His torpedo hit the DiW V&W yet no sinking a quick look at tactical gave her 6x's so fired off a T:1 @ 700m and it struck amidships and she sank.

Having no chat was hindering mission badly in other ways with no way to ascertain and effect best policy in striking heavies racing away from us. The WP boat display which are only shows flooding damage to pack boats and does not aid understanding of internal damage or capabilities of a particular boat so not helpful in this situation.

Still at PD and reports of hit on last V&W stern and a quick peak at tactical revealed 4x's so fired T:3 mag depth@ 3m HERRIA had sent a torpedo which killed her as mine struck. Escorts killed my attention was on Courageous and damaged Cruiser

Low on torps so need to jump ahead to get carrier as priority. Flak up and using single sweep of radar to locate task force. Found them 13500km NE of my pos so with Flak up and at DA engines set at HF set course to close on them. Now awaiting transfer of externals, forward tube a priority.
Again missing chat to co-ordinate attack, not really an issue with more boats but just 2 of us an annoying hiccup . Forward external transferred and HERRIA is 9000m behind TF and using his radar.

Externals transfers completed and had Closed to 4500 on TF and now at all stop. Looking at tactical HERRIA's torps had hit Courageous causing 8x damage amidships previously 'oh no booted!!' and my intention before disconnect was to use my last wren in the hope to slow her down.

Back again and deep Roxy was being kind to me hmmm she's not getting that new dress no matter what tantrums she throws.

Going to PD range to target now 2880m her speed 13knts..last boot sorted global chat no WP chat yet though.. Wren fired @ 2130m -- Engines now at LF and fired T:1 mag@ 1600m depth@ 10 wren hit port astern 4x's T:1 hit and before seeing damage done target destroyed. Puzzled by sudden kill HERRIA must have fired at her unnoticed by me.

Still at PD 3 T:1's left will try for damaged cruiser range now at 2530m fired T:1 mag@ depth 7. HERRIA has only 1 tube working. T:1 hit damage now 11x's. Closing range and altering course slowly to bring stern tube into action after firing another T:1 impact @ 1900m hoping to hit rudder but missed TF is obliquing and unless last torp slows her this is one lucky TF cannot risk taking on 4 counties with DG and Haven't time to jump ahead again as real life needs my fullest attention soon. Stopped engines and fired Stern tube T:1 mag depth 7 @2240 Missed again. HERRIA fired a stein but like my efforts the cruisers obliques had its effect. HERRIA's boat had suffered bad damage including tube damage so we ended WP..

Outcome
Surprised at quick sinking's of Flower and Courageous. The experience gleaned by having no chat gave an added mission pressure yet still unreality compare to lone action decisions taken by boat commanders in Wolf Packs.
