Either am doing something wrong but when I park my boat it's doing something like 1knt am about 10yards from the end,and hit esc then. But if anyone can park there boats dead centre I would love to see it.

As said in above post, just like with a real boat. Enter at slow speed (like 2 knts) then in the middle reverse slow until speed drops to 0 then stop. In fact stop at just the moment when it will go from 1 to 0. If you wait a little too long, it might start 1 knt back. Just needs a little practice, like everything else.
Once stopped the boat doesnt drift even with strong wind (used this to spend a night "anchored" in a protected bay in the Shannon to load my external torpedoes)

Heh,
The babes are the prize!
I come in at about 7 kts. Use the binocs to help me line up parallel to the dock. About 300 meters from the dock: all engines stop. By the time I reach the babes with the roses, the boat is doing maybe, 3 kts. Oreder astern slow, when the knotmeter shows one knot. All engines stop. Watch the babes enjoy the music, tell Bernard to bring coffee :smug:

I can't say that I park 'dead centre', but I end every patrol by backing up into the slip I left. I don't have to, but it always feels like the perfect way to end a patrol.

Isn't that the part when he trips and spills hot coffee all over you?

Dont forget to hang Bernard over the side as a fender when docking..Dont want to scratch that nice layer of paint Fubar made..:yep:
Edit: By the way: I found a picture of Bernard during his uboat training. He tries to convince his instructors that he have invented a revolutionary ASW technology:

In case you wonder how the real Bernard (Bernhard) looks like ?

Here he is in his better days!

Well I don't dock inside the bunkers anymore. Several time when I returned from a great patrol I collided with them when trying to dock in there and lost hull integrity :damn:

Isn't there a bug that wipes out your tonnage if you end a patrol too close to where you start it??

That's nothing, this one is when I sent him to clean the flack guns and inspect the hull, It took three days to the weapon officer to put them back in their places...
