I certainly don't have any problems with it... I'm Australian but both my grandfathers fought on the wrong side during the war. Allied shipping is supplying the guys who want to kill my grandfathers, (and in effect are killing me LOL).

It's you or them!!!:arrgh!:

Think about it! If you don't fight, you'll kill about what....30 german saliors in your boat that was under your command?

Would that make you feel better?:hmm:

:oops: Sometime I dont identify a ship at all...I just sink it.
I feel worse if I leave it floating...its the Tons that i let slip away...Hell no that would make me feel like a traitor

I was in the Med ( Australia is a little out of range with a VIIB!) at the time, and as there is a lack of shipping there, any target will do. I went over to Malta and sank escorts as that all I could find!! I came back with a total of 20,000 tons!

I going back to the atlantic, I can hear the passanger liners calling.....

I just finished my Patrol #29. On my way back from EJ98 via Port of Spain and back past the Azores on the east side, BDU radios that a large enemy convoy is steaming westbound at 12kts in DG65. All ahead full is ordered to intercept in DG64, which we do just past midnight May 25,1943. We sink 5 US warships- 2 Hunt IIs, a Corvette, and 2 DEBuckleys and one Liberty merchant right at the start. All internal torps are used so it's time to breakoff and reload. At 07:30 the same day we lock horns again with the same convoy appx. 100km to the west. We sank the last warship - a DESomers. Plus a T3, C2, and another Liberty merchant. 2 merchants were crippled by torpedos and had to be finished off with the deckgun. That's 11 ships that won't be returning to NY City. And, I feel good my crew of the U-181 did their job well....very well. :D

So seeing this is only a simulation of that bygone era, I don't mind playing the German side.

You met Aussies.......in the MED!!!?????:o

WHERE???? I NEED TO KNOW!!!! I WANNA SINK THEM:lol:

:o CRIKEY!!!!

I accidentally sunk a fishing boat during a storm in the Med when I rammed it, so to get off the hook I blamed Bernard. ;) :lol:

Blamed Bernard for what? Driving a fishingboat in full storm, or driving the U-boat? If you say he was driving the fishinboat, you might even get a medal!:yep:

But I still wonder what a Aussie is doing in the Med!!!???

Something fishy's going on here......:shifty:

Why's that fishy? Australian troops fought in the Med, most noteably north africa... repelling the germans at Tobruk.

yeah I know but still....I like the Med, I often do patrols down there but I've NEVER met any aussies, only yanks, Tommies and canadians. (and, of course, Italians but hey...:) )

Oh, and BTW, the only time I've been sad about sinking a ship was when I destroyed a fishingboat outside Cuba. I was really bored, and wanted to see what would happen, so I first cracked up when I saw how it litteraly flew away, and seconds later felt gulty about my action:oops:

Later, I was terrified when I remembered that Ernest Hemingway used to sail in those waters:lol: :o :nope: :arrgh!: :down:

(those smilies represents all the feelings I went through that minute)

One of the Australian ships was an add on, a rose class ore carrier by AG 124. Australia had some simlar ship (BHP owned them, a couple were sunk by Japanese subs of the east coast of Australia).

One was a stock standard small merchant, so I was a little suprised to see it in the med!:o

no kiddin'.....:hmm:

I had a Kiwi merchant appear out of the mist in the Med just now (like 5mins ago :D ), smack me around a bit with his gun and vanish back into the mist never to be seen again. Did a bit of damage too.

I was pretty pleased for him actually :D
