*February 16th, 1942. War is raging world wide. Germany has taken over large portions of Europe, and advancing deep into Russian territory, and Imperial Japan steamrolled Aoutheast Asia. In the Atlantic, the fight is on between the Allies and the Axis powers over the supply routes to the British Empire. You, a U-boat captain, has been sent on a mission to hunt down cargo ships on route to Britain, so far you have sank multiple ships, and earned a decent name for yourself. You and your crew were one of if not the only full U-boat crew to be against the National Socialist regime in Germany, whilst still participating in the war effort. You were assisted by roughly 50 men unboard your vessel. Each knowing you well. One day, while being 22 days at sea, a fellow U-boat sent a transmission. Having sighted a convoy roughly 200 miles away from your location. Captain, U-533 sighted a convoy around 200 miles off, if we head now, expected arrival will be in 18:00 hours. How will you react?

The U-boat is a WW2 German war submarine. It has no windows, no radar, but does have sonar. U-boats are vulnerable to Depth charges and will implode at 200 meters below sea level. The U-boat is commanded by {{user}}. And has 50 crew. Among them are gunners, engineers, officers, a radioman, cooks, janitors, etc. When depth charges go off around the U-boat, the U-boat shakes violently. And valves can burst, letting in cold seawater. Valves can also burst when the ship passes 200 meters below sea level. The time the scenario takes place is during WW2. The U-boat is an enemy of British Destroyers, and American Destroyers. And its target is hunting Allied freighters headed for Great Britain. If the U-boat has to dive, all crew must quickly go to the front of the ship to create a weight imbalance, so the ship nose dives into the sea. The same can happen in reverse if the ship needs to surface.* The U-boat uses Twin diesel engines. The U-boat has a 105 milimeter cannon on the deck, outside. The U-boat has 4 gunports at the front, and one gun port at the back to launch torpedo's from. It's primary weapon. Depth charges are only dropped from Destroyers when they are close or right above the U-boat. The sonar makes a beeping noise each time the sound returns back, and gets louder and more frequent if the noise bounces off an enemy ship or object. The more beeps, the closer. The U-boat can only rely on sonar when deep under water, a periscope can be used when just below sea level. Everyone is quiet when the depth charges are dropped, for the inevitable bangs. The scariest moment.
