U-101 heading back to St.Nazaire Jan 4th 1941...having just expended all my torpedoes on a British S-class submarine that dared to operate about 50km from my base. Needless to say he evaded every one I fired at him (also my deck gun was removed after last patrol due to lack of use...coulda done with it here!).

So I made a contact report and half an hour later after shadowing the sub a flight of Stuka's showed up and sank him. Fat Boy Goering's boys got it right for once!:arrgh!:

Took ages for the sub to sink so I decided to go back to port, no renown but the girls at the "establissment" will make up for that...;)

I just got back from raiding Reykjavík and i sank 26682 tons which came from 4 warships and 5 merchants. There was an American Clemson class DD there and also an American Larger tanker, Now im drinking some nice French Wine in my personal chateau outside of St. Nazaire. O yeah i saw a large ice berg at the bottom of AE83, its June 7th 1941.

U-24, IID, at sea during her 17´th patrol in The Black Sea.
It´s now mid June -44 and The Crimean is lost to the Russians and the Red Army is knocking on Romania's borders. One of these days we will be met by Russian soldiers when we get back to Konstanza:hmm:

U-51 is currently bashing its way through horrid seas in the vicinity of BF17, having just celebrated New Year's Day 1940 by sinking a neutral Norwegian tramp steamer :damn: Drove right through a convoy in the middle of this stinking mess, sound contacts all around but couldn't see a doggone thing for the rain and fog and waves. Finally spotted something, took a snap shot and down goes Lars .... :nope: On a positive note, my watch crew is setting new breath-holding records every day ...;)

07-31-07, 11:47 PM

12 to 15 ships with four escorts. With the lead escort a town class I was able to sneek past wihout a problem. It's the 2 black swan's on the flanks I have to be careful of.

I hope to get back to the game tomorrow night. I just have to see how I go time wise. There are a couple of pryo ammo ships and a damaged whale factory ship I want to knock off. Will leave the small fry for you!:arrgh!:

June 22 1944, sailing to a new base, St. Nazaire, because former base Festung Brest fell to the allies. 25 % fuel, no more torpedos. tripulation exausted due continuos air attacks. BF17 Grid. Sonarman reports fast screws comming close...

November '39 - U-46 about 150kms off the coast of northern Spain and entering the Bay of Biscay after patrolling BE99. Expended 12 torpedoes for a mere 18,000 GRT. Plenty of lone merchants, but mainly small fry. Intend to plot a course through the bay heading in a northerly direction in the hope of encountering some more French merchants then home to Wilhelmshaven.

Nemo

Further to the above, sea state is foul and decide to submerge to 25 metres for a few hours and let my sound man earn his money. After a while he picks up three medium speed merchants that are closing. Plot an intercept and discover a large merchant followed by two small freighters all belonging to France. Doesn't take much to decide which ship is going to get my penultimate torp. Fire my torp at 450m and watch it impact its bow area. Large merchant slows a couple of knots and starts to settle by the bow. Meanwhile they have started zig-zagging and I decide which of the small freighters is going to get my last torp. Fire at a range of 850m but it turns away soon after firing and I miss. Nevermind the large merchant is going down and my tonnage total has gone up to 29,000 GRT. Now plotting a course for home.

Just left Kiel on my 4th patrol with the U-46 after a night of wooze and booze we are heading to the Rockall Banks to enjoy some "Happy Times" if the weather holds. If we don't shoot off all of our fish we'll pay a visit to Loch Ewe or Scapa Flow to see if there is anything worth sinking. And I'm now the leading ace with 31,832 of tonnage sunk (all mechants for now).TAKE THAT PRIEN:arrgh!: !!!

I am currently in BF 15 on my second tour facing the largest convoy I have ever seen in GWX, large modern tankers/large merchants/whale tankers/ etc. Nice, but there are hurricane winds and sea state so surface attack is impossible, can't use the deck gun either of course. Submerged attack the only option. However being in a VIIB with limited torpedos and only one yes 1! black swan escort to face, the frustration is incredible. Oh for a IXb............. :roll:

U442 on fourth patrol from St. Nazaire. 9/12/42 pursuing northbound convoy square AM49. At flank speed positioned boat in ideal position ahead of convoy track. At 60 m waited for approach of targets. Sharp zig put convoy off port beam by 1700. Pursued at top speed and periscope depth. Able to hit three large CV from 3000m, sunk two Black Swan escorts with acoustic torpedoes. But not the third. While reloading tubes at 100m sunk with all hands by direct hit to conning tower during heavy dc barrage. Damn. (The real U442 OL. Joachim Hesse went down in CG82 on 2/12/43. She was a victim of an aircraft attack, on her second war patrol after sinking 4 ships for 25417 GRT.)

Not meaning to corrupt,just saying dunka.
We lost both scopes,in a PD engagement,& there is a tender near,but we were ordered to patrol far NW. 50% fish left,but coming to 30ft. to get on the bridge,to send TBT data to the TDC,&Position Keeper,can alert DDs,& put holes in the hull. Also makes Convoy attacks kinda hairy.:p :lol: Done two assaults that way,not wanting to push our luck.

Did some SH3 before but lost my save games in windows crash :/

Started a new career with the U-64. Now Im patrolling between Northern Ireland and the UK. Engaged a convoy and sank 3 ships (1 escort) Think ill leave the convoy alone now, got a bit too much depth charges thrown at me for the first mission :)

Oh and if all goes well I will make a vid docu of this career :)

Are there ever worse weather in the game than 15 m/s, by the way? Haven't seen it yet... and 15 m/s can't be considered all that horrible in the atlantic. A storm proper is 25+, after all.
