Hello
My last game in the sh3 GWX 2.0 i was in October 1944...but i have a serious problem in my pc and i lost all data in it.
The only away its to start over again, and i did but with new GWX 2.1. I real aprecieted the new start of the game: one mouth before the war started was pleasent and well thinked, i sail between Ireland and England because id like to explore that "channel" and his strategical possibilities lol...Könisberg all so looks ok.
But the lack of "official" targets in the first patrol open my apetite...and in the second patrol with a green crew aboard of my U-Boat (U-36 its not a famous U-Boat but it will be son lol) i set course to Scapa Flow using the West entrance with no problems to register, only some tug boats and one of two DD the all Naval Base.
Later i find my target...the H.M.S Royal Oak wich i sunk with a spred of four torpedos (im crazy to see Prien face lol) and i was able to get out using the same course (more or less) to get out of there with only a DD serching for me.
Untill the six patrol i was able too sunk some merchants and some DD but sailing West near the coast of Ireland i detect a Task force coming in my direction: about tree DD one Southampton Class and the mighty H.M.S. Nelson wich i waiting for.
I was able to fire a spred of four torpedos but one miss the target but at the same time i was able to fire the rear torpedo on the Southampton class ship with out sinking her. Inicialy the Battleship was sailing about 25-26 knots but after the attack she sail at six knots only with a very negative angel, then i dive to escape the DDs with sucess.
Twenty minutes later they lose my trace and they sail away, and after a fast serch with the Hidrophones "the coast was clear" for me and i came to surface, no signal of DDs only i was able too see the Battleship about 3500 m from me, i order flank speed and i order PD about 1500 m from the target with at this time was sailing about 2 knots.
At 900 m I fire a spred of 4 torpedos to finish her with "cup of grace" an her sunk with a noisy explosion!
P.S. A very good start for a unknow U-Boat with a green crew!
