So far, so good. Patrol orders are to do a 5 day patrol around Attu.
Speaking of... noticed that Attu, is barely... barely, in the ascribed patrol... circle, wouldn't it be more.. feasible to side shift that circular patrol a wee bit more... SW to include the island, in the patrol area... just asking.
PlayerCurrentObjectiveCode=Attu
PlayerDefaultObjectives=ID94
PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID292
Other than that, patrol's going slow, on the look out for ships, & yeah... submerged throughout the day, & surfaced to recharge the batteries. Know the old S boats sonar, wasn't like the Sargo (& those after that sub...)... I think that had the ability to run surfaced & be able to pick up ships on sonar while on the surface.
S boats, were on par with the early on type VII's in that score, if I am recalling the progression of the Uboat sonar. right.. which that was behind the Brit's & the U.S.' sonar.. though their boats were tougher in deep dive ability though the dive time sucked. Only boats they had that were quick in diving & seriously maneuverable were the type II's. The type II-D, was the stealth ninja's of the type IIs... but, I digress...
Will report more on contact with the enemy...
