Simple....just change the grid via SH3Cmdr :arrgh!:

But thats cheating!!! :lol:

Also strangely I got transferred from Kiel to Willemshaven without putting a flotilla transfer request in... any ideas?

Also what is the optimum engine settings for maximum range in the wee beasties?

for Type IIs?

Ahead 2/3 (7 to 8kts) My Type IID gets 13,000+ km range with that.

They caught you cheating :hmm:
:lol:

Probably... BdU are wondering where I got the space to fit an auto-tdc computer down the boat!

:rotfl: :rotfl:

With only six torps and no deck gun you need every trick you can find:rotfl:

U-12, Type IIA out of Kiel, though thinking of putting in for a transfer to Wilhelms as the Denmark run takes up a load of fuel, and I can't get the Canal auto-pilot to work yet.
Great little boat, managed to bag 1 large merchant for around 10k tonnes then spent the rest of the patrol being thrown around the boat in a storm that kept putting the poor watch crew underwater....how they're still alive I'll never know...must be wearing Momsens lungs or something. ;)
Had to lay in at Wilhelms to pick up some more fuel and supplies before a quick shuttle run back out into the Southern part of the North Sea and now I'm heading back to Kiel.
Great little boat, but I think I might see if I can beg, borrow or steal a deck gun from Bdu. Save the torps for the big guys... :hmm:

What can I say? I'm a SHIII newbie. :yep:

Started a Black Sea career, and I'm in. The Type IID is a great little boat, even if I can only bag three ships a patrol.

I did a harbor raid at the end of the last one. Did you know that torpedo nets only go down about fifty-some meters. I stayed low and slow, went right underneath the nets, the destroyers didn't hear me, and I popped up to periscope depth to put my last two torpedos right into the side of a modern medium tanker parked six hundred meters away.

Let's see you do THAT in a IX!

Type IIA - U-12 - Comm: Oberlt Wilhelm Marr - Surrendered to the Allies - Feb 1940 Hartlepool harbour. U-12 scuttled.

:damn:

Did the monkey go down with the boat? :hmm:

Nope, it got taken to a POW camp in Scotland. :smug:

The place: Batumi, Georgia (the Black Sea)
The time: 3:30am local
The boat: Type IID U-139


I was approaching submerged from the side, because the last time I snuck around Batumi, I missed a large tanker moored on the northern side. Snuck in as usual, underneath the torpedo nets, and made my way around. A destroyer found me, and called in on--tw--four of his pals, and even though they only came close, they were never that far away. So there I am, approaching the target in heavy fog, and I come up to periscope depth and risk popping the scope up for a few moments. I can't see my target yet, and by the nav map I'm not more than six hundred meters away. Oops, a destroyer found me; flooding in the diesel engines! I secured from silent running, went to flank speed, and put the scope up. There she is, looming out of the fog, a passenger liner! I opened all three tubes, set up a 0-gyro-angle solution--and the destroyer behind me ran my attack scope over. I hit the fire button anyway and crash dove--but "Wir sind in seichtem Wasser, Herr Kaleun!" The boat made a nice BONK as I smacked the bow off the ground. So then I order all back emergency, set depth to 18 meters, and go ahead slow to turn away.

I thought I was out of hot water, but no more than ten seconds later, I hear a scraping, and... my depth is increasing? The liner is sinking on top of me! Flank speed! And then, BONK goes the bow as I smack it into the pier. I ordered all back emergency and reversed rudder, and then I decided I'd better try to keep my head a bit better, and that a little rest would do me good. All stop, and I just sat there, eighteen meters down, while the liner sank next to me. After ten minutes or so, I ordered ahead slow and silent running and limped away.

Needless to say, even though I had three torpedoes left, I decided heading straight back for Constanza would be the prudent move. >.>
