By way of hello, and a word of thanks

[Paul_IronCoffin]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to posting here, and fairly new to the subsim forums.

Having played out the whole war twice over, I've now spent the last week or so reading through the forums in the hope of learning new skills - especially the tools available on the map view. And tonight it came together. Having learned of a large convoy moving ENE I used all the knowledge I'd gained from you guys and plotted an intercept.

...then just sat there, all stop. And waited, and waited. The escorts came and went without hassling me. Then the prized convoy itself well within strike range. Very gratifying!

So, thanks to you the community for laying bare your knowledge and experience so that those such as I can learn!

cheers
Paul

WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

It's always nice to see a newcomer who is actually interested in getting involved, rather than asking a question and never being heard from again.

Thanks Steve. I'm a Mod on a few other forums and learned long long ago not to ask questions when one is really at a very novice level. The answers are most probably already there. "Search" is your friend :D

Welcome aboard Paul_IronCoffin! :ahoy:

Glad you joined your fellow inmates...uh...kaleuns here at the O-club to swap stories and share valuable intel. :D

I only had three patrols under my belt before I jumped in and you'd be surprised how patient the old salts are with "noobs" so long as they're polite even when asking "dumb" questions that have been answered a hundred times before.

It's a rag-tag, sometimes eccentric bunch here but you'll not find a more welcoming community anywhere else, IMHO.

Sink 'em all! :arrgh!:
