It's been long since I last came to the forum and even longer since I had any time to play - but I got my first 100 tons... of campaign total. Well, I'm still a newbie, remember?
By the way, I was wandering if instead of an Iron Cross I shouldn't get a downgrade since I missed a battleship! I was assignet to patrol a gird west to Rockall Bank in the winter 40/41 so I went for a little trip to Liverpool, gathering a few gun actions, when a task force was reported. I got spotted when trying to attack an Erzfrachter escorted by an armed trawler at dawn, then shook him off and left to try to intercept the battleship. Same scenario: escorts spotted at dawn, dived, then I got detected when running to get on position. I spent two hours of game time on the seafloor waiting for the destroyer to leave, then scored a 10k Grosser Frachter on my way home. Damn, I can't get on position to attack a convoy in 40, isn't it pathetic?
Oh, one thing, am I right that marks in the observation scope and in the attack one are the same (playing OLC GUI Special) so I can use my large scope, count the marks, down scope and then use the whiz wheel?
