gwx transfer help

[Stubudd]

Started in 2nd flotilla in 1940. Trying to transfer to 11th now that it's available in may 1942. Selecting 11th transfers me to the 29th, or whichever is in la spezia. Transferring to the 29th crashes the game. The others all work fine. Anybody know about this? Thanks

Did another patrol figuring maybe it would sort itself out after loading a map with the new base at bergen on it. Whatever it was, it worked.

Anybody ever had your whole tower knocked off by a wave? I was way out in the atlantic west of ireland in a huge storm, waves submerging the boat while surfaced- submerging the scope while surfaced. On 256x speed suddenly it says we're taking damage and i skip down to 20m and back up, damage repaired. I go to crew screen and the whole superstructure is gone, but no casualties. My deck gun had already been destroyed but the rest just disappeared, scopes, everything. It was weird.

you screwed up and either ran into something... like an aircraft carrier or so...
or something made something else ram you - like a Plane making its bomb ram you.

Water... water never harms you, nor do storms or rain or some such things.
Improve your watch, and manually transfer your watch officer to the tower eery time it is possible... because your crew screwed up big time. They never saw what jit them.

The crew is maxed out pretty much. It's 2 years of the same guys, like 15 patrols. The watch guy was up, it was in the middle of nowhere. I was only half serious about thinking it was water, i just have no idea what happened. The only other thing i can think of is that it was real close to where i had sank a ship earlier in the patrol. I guess it was just the time speed up- i got ran over by something that was never picked up.

i sure hope so.
in bad weather conditions (the depth gauge jumping up and down) and poor visibility... the crew can indeed miss a contact. And simply ram something.
had that once, years ago when i nosedived into some cargo, losing my for torpedo room due to flooding.

nowadays, when weather is shafty, i play piano on the P and S keys... popping up to breathe, but keeping my head mostly underwater. You can listen so much further than you can see...:)

Water alone will not cause you damage so you've hit something without you or the crew realising it.

Something else i've never seen- i take a snap shot at a destroyer in a harbor, it hits at an angle just ahead of the props where the hull curves around, bounces out of the water, spins more than 360 degrees, lands a few meters away and runs into the side at an even steeper angle and detonates.

[Jimbuna]

Probably an anti-torpedo net.

Aryan Torpedo Magikk :D
Seen such things now and then, always good for a chuckle :)

[Stubudd]

First and only for me. It was in the harbor, but i wasn't clear- gibraltar harbor against a patroller, not a docked ship. Over on the west side where they come in sometimes, not near the nets. Bounced right off his tailpipe up in the air, spin around, hit the water and obliquely into the side amidships, boom
