DESCRIPTION

So the game started out badly. I couldn't decide on which side, so i went mid.
Enemy had an Atlanta and Perth which radared then hydroed us.
Wasn't much to do in B.

I was trying to constanly look around, looking for an opportunity.
We lost one of our Nelsons in the meantime.
Then our Nueve de Julio blapped the Atlanta, and that was my chance to finally do some peaking out.
Got 2 hits on the Skäne, and that was it.

Enemy started to push around C, i was unable to move out behind them because of the Perth, but then he got around the other side of C and i snailed out. Almost killing him, but my teammate finished the job. Now Gneiesenau was pushing into B from our spawn, and killing the Nueve de Julio in the process. He did what he could.

I wanted to kill the Gneisenau so i got into reverse, and since it doesnt have hydro, i smoked up, and launched all my torps.
Sadly he gained some speed, and only ate 4, but that was enough for the end. He was still alive for now.

Then i was trying to cap C, but i feared the Zara might be around. My fears were well founded. Zara came out behind the island 3.3 km away. FÜÜÜÜÜÜ....
I was sure i am dead, i had no torps, Zara has SAP, i might last 10-15 seconds...
but...
Zara turned into me closing the distance to 2km. Then he starts to turn out, launching some very bad torps. In the meantime, he is shooting AP at me.... ooookkaaaay? I take it.
I can go and ram you, get a good chunk of hp off and helping the team!... or so i thought....

I thought, he might turn to the other side to torp me from close distance, surely killing me, but he keeps turning into the same direction!

Okay, i thought, maaaaybe not ram? Can i stay alive for 20 more seconds till my torps reload?
Thus begun our little Tango of death, in the meantime he kept shooting AP and missing a great deal!

I CAN MAKE THIS WORK.
I'M GIVIN' IT ALL SHE'S GOT CAPTAIN!

The tango continues, and 3...2...1... BREAK!
BARELY MISSING THE STERN OF THE ZARA! TURNING INTO TORP ANGLES AND LAUNCH!
BOOOOOM!!!
WTF ZARA i ask in chat, why am i not dead?

But we got 2 more ships left to finish off. A Gneisenau from before, badly damaged thankfully, and a Hood...

I noticed a few secondaries flying over me while fighting Zara.... CRAP HE IS RIGHT THERE coming out of B. I hesitate to launch torps because what if the Gneisenau has AP and i can close the distance for more accurate torps?
But the Colorado and I manage to kill the Gneisenau with a few shells. BOOM.

HOW AM I ALIVE?????

Then i go for the safe play. Capping all points.
I was counting on both the Colorado and New Orleans to be dead in a few seconds so i wanted the points to just tick tick tick up.

But only the Colorado died, the New Orleans was alive and kicking. I noticed the Hood coming close to the island at B where i spent most of my time in this game. I told the New Orleans to stop shooting so i can just yolo the Hood, which he did thankfully. So i calculated the Hood will continue and not turn into B, so i intercepted and YOLOOOOOO BAGGINS! torped it winning the game.

This was the most intense and fun game i had in a long time. Hope you enjoy it!
