A Terrible Patrol

[bill clarke]

What a lousy patrol I had, absolutly nothing up around Norway, so after the prerequisite 24 hr patrol in my grid, I thought I'd sail to the firth of forth. So I charted a course in to the firth, terrible weather, as I get closer, I thought I'd better go to periscope depth, at 512 compression, next thing I know I have damage, What the :damn: . I pan in on the map and there is a port , not marked on the map and I've run in to a wall, hull integrity down to 14% :hulk: so I wasnt going to chance that, back home with 5 eels, boy was uncle Erich mad :D

That is a bugger isn't it. Be careful with the time compression. :lol:

[STEED]

Been there done it, I know how you feel :yep:

Didn't TC drop down to 4? If you've altered that file, didn't it start lagging for you? Whenever I get with in 50Km of a port it starts laggn if I'm higher than 512TC.

No mate, just barrelled along till I hit the wall, I'd like to know why it wasn't marked on the map, any ideas ?

A terrible patrol is the one where the logbook has no final entry...

Perchance I misunderstand but I feel a boat and a crew that survives a "good" patrol. Thus a terrible patrol to me is one where the fate is sealed by the depths...

To each his own I guess sir.

That :nope: was to be a sad face mourning the loss of the many uboats. My mistake.

I understand better now. :cool:

And I agree.

It is no worry sir for we think the same on this matter. :up:

Good Hunting Herr Kaleun!

I agree too. It's just like the old pilot's saying: "Any landing you walk away from is a good one".
