First I got sunk off the coast of Spain, playing SH III GWX. I attacked a heavily escorted convoy and went down, ending my career during the 7th patrol....
I didn't stand a chance........

I decided to go for the 'easy' Pacific.

Spotted a convoy off the coast of Java, and decided to press the attack although being in shallow waters.....
I ended up on the wrong end of some depth charges again....and another career ends; this time during my 4th patrol...
lessons learned:
1) depth charges are lethal
2) shallow waters = danger

Fresh starts tomorrow!

:rotfl: I too had some misfortune. Playing 100% four careers in a row I got sunk on my way to insertion missions by planes my very first time out of port.:dead: My crash dive speed was pitiful.:stare: I then spent renown on RA radar and double 20mm flak guns.:hmm: I have plenty of time to dive, and if I don't that new gun rips even the float planes apart.:rock:

You're just figuring that out?:rotfl:

3) The enemy are there to try their best to kill you

So it ISN'T gum drops the Japanese are sending me. That explains a lot. ;)
