At 088-095/AF87

1300 Visual sighting: Smoke, bearing 076
1301 Captain on the bridge. Right full rudder, alarm! Let's get smoke
ahead.
1305 Boat is ready. Smoke has dissapeard. All ahead full, make your
course 299. Last sighting bearing 359
1320 Nothing. Crash dive!
1335 In 50 meters. Nothing from sonar after driving couple of circles.
1340 Back to rutines.


So... What do you think? What was that? Moby Dick? Flying dutch? What happend. It just dissapeared. Weather was good, no fog, no rain, 14 m /s from north. I could see the smoke clearly without binoculars and suddenly, nothing? Interesting... At least something to tell in Kiel. (I think this will end to be a zero patrol...)

Just wondering... :hmm:

AI boats can be deleted at the end of their last waypoint.

Either that or the Black Pearl! :o

Some other suggestions:

1. It was a Bug
That's allmost impossible to belive, because the game is original UBI production...

2. It was The Diving Trawler
My grandfather told me once how his father knew a man who knew a man who saw this ghostship somewhat 200 miles south off New Foundland 21. of April 1782... Can't believe on that either... What I saw was a steamer... Definetly.

3. It was... Kretschmer
[i] I thought Otto was to be somewhere around Scotland to find out where the Home Fleet is anchored after Günther had some fun in Scapa... Now I'm pretty sure Silent Otto got something else in his mind and he sneaked to the coast of Norway, just to pick up the only merchant I was able to sunk while on this patrol... :damn:

No, it's just us having a BBQ on deck...

The meat and bananas were looking a bit old, so I gave the order to cook them. Being such a fine day it seemed the logical decision to cook outdoors, we're just waiting for Odie to bring up the chairs and tables to put along the fore deck :D
