Six years ago I put up an AAR here of a career in Operation Monsun while in command of U-47, titled, oddly enough, The War Patrols of U-47. The thread is in this subforum, although the images now have the photobucket nonsense on them.


After a long time silent running, I have returned to once again to take command, this time of U-46. I am documenting the patrols in an AAR on SimHQ. I would repost it here, but as SimHQ is hosting the images, it's poor form I reckon to steal their bandwidth by making the images visible here at Subsim.


Here's a link to the thread. U-46 has just returned from her third war patrol. Career played at full realism minus map contact updates, dead is dead. The AAR is written for a more general audience, not the hardened sub veterans on this board, so I take the time to detail attack and approach procedures and the like. I thought some folks might be interested in following our adventures. Comments welcome!

OK mate, thanks for the reply.



First nine patrols are up, and we move in to 1942. Nearly sunk on the last patrol, U-46 desperately needs the rumored Metox and a better torpedo than the TII G7e.
