Ive made it!

[scott_c2911]

After 10 years fiddling, modding, backing up, upgrading, os reinstalls and overwriting I have finally made it to the end of the game. I commanded 3 boats; U-48, U-123 and U-2528. I took part in operation drumbeat, carried out harbour raids and took on convoys like the rest of us. I completed 47 patrols and sunk over 800,000 tons of shipping including 3 battleships and 2 aircraft carriers. I did this at 67% realism but Im not bragging about the 800,000 tons as the figure is not realistic at all but my god was it fun. Without your (subsim community) help I would still be in CTD land and corrupt saves were a major threat (more dangerous than aircraft and dds).

If you are a true fanatic, you have already started another career in August '39!:D

WOOHOO!!! :rock:

I've also been playing on and off for ten years and I've never made it past June 1940.

[RudiZornig]

Congratulations!! Is it that feeling like eating a yogurt? Starting off amazing and then getting sad at the end? :P

I know I won't make it that far :P I think years ago I made it to early 1942 or so but I got lucky many times and it wasn't 67%, probably closer to 50-55%.

[sublynx]

Congratulations!

I'm almost envious as the best I've managed to achieve is late 1943. One day I'll make it to the end of the war as well!

[RConch]

Never have made it past 1943.

Btw, what happens at the end when you dock the last time- do you get a short movie or what?

WOOHOO!!! :rock:

My high water mark was March 1941. That career succumbed, not to enemy action, but to VanJast's 1920x1080 mod. While I adapted it, I also added MFM and SH3Log (a Must Have for the immersion-obsessed) and figured out how to start NYGM in August '39 (no big deal). So I decided to start the career over. Never got that far since....

But I'm havin' fun!!!:woot::woot:

Hi scott

Congratulations for your perseverance and dedication Captain.

Are you looking for a desk job?

Or are you going back and giving them hell again?

He could start a desk job with the Bundeswehr's Marine if he waits another ten years ;)

There was no special video or anything. It just went back to the menu. I played the credits and then guess what! It crashed to desktop lol. I think the game was subconciously trying to tell me my poor type xxi was scuttled or something. It was strangely kind of poignant. I feel empty inside like I have split up with a woman. The desk job sounds boring so I am going straight out there again. I might attempt it with other megamods and I may even give sh3c a go because I have never used it. I only use GWX and hsies mod. I tweaked a few things myself too.

[Nerazzurri]

Well done Scott! :yeah:

I'm going to reload any time it's required to get to the end of the war. It's not been necessary so far, but I'm expecting a reload in the near future :oops:

I salute your dedication :salute:
