Now sailing U3523 for the 11th flotilla out of Bergen

Nice to have made it this far and finally got a type XXI

Interesting to review past patrols.
My 3rd patrol was where I got the most tonnage but patrol 36 stands out as my boat was there to try and prevent D-Day.

GWX + SH3 Gen + SH3 Commander + Open hatch, Church Obs Scope and Torpedo damage. 68% realism

My GWX 1.03 career

Summary
Kapitänleutnant Erwin Schmidt and U-28 surrendered to the Allies on 04MAY40. Erwin Schmidt was sent to a POW camp in Scotland where he spent the rest of the war. After the war Erwin Schmidt completed a commercial training course and worked for some years as a commercial representative. Then he retired from this profession to become the director of a sailing school on the island of Elba in the Mediterranean. He was for a long time the chairman of the "Verband der U-Boots-Fahrer" in Germany. He died on 4 November 1982 in Hamburg.




Just finished this one after i torpedoed 2 merchants in convoy in heavy fog and 15 meters waves. I didnt even notice the destroyer cause i was to busy targeting the second merchant. All i heard was 2x ping and then the engines of destroyer coming from aft. He rammed me and throw depth charges so i had to surrender. I had also few men killed by depth charges.

In this career i have seen a battleship for the first time and had a patrol with over 100,000 BRT sunk. Both things happened on my 4th patrol. :rock:

90 % realism. I have map update and ext. cam on.



I started to play again after a year or two. I played at 100% before but that just isnt for me. Takes to much time and i dont have it that much. :D

P.s.: Now i started a new career in type IXC out of Lorient on January 1st 1940. First time for me to command a type IX.:yep:
