Playing GWX Patrol 17 Jan 1943. Attacked at night by Destroyer, crash dive and damage my Radio Antenna plus other items in tower. Repaired all but radio, now no messages in or out. What would Commander do RTB or continue? Only 20 days in this patrol. First time this has happened in many years of play.

For U boats, difficult to say. I know US subs stayed out unless damage made it impossible to safely conduct attacks and since operated mostly without commands via radio, loss of radio was not a major factor in patrol ending.


U Boats operated a bit different. I would say if your offensive capabilities are in tact, hull is not compromised, stay out and sink ships.
