I wasnt saying you were bein critical just didnt know what to put after sooo lol, I should have not attacked the Destroyers and saved my torps for a nice merchant but oh well.

CherryHarbey 09-18-10 03:18 PM

okay, no problem.
can be tricky when we are conversing in text to get across the tone of what you're saying. I re-read my first repsonse and thought it could come across a bit preachy (which wasn't intended) so if you had got that sense from it, I would try to correct.:salute:

Nada besides Im open to critiscm. Especially if helps me to not get my 29 man crew killed :salute:Seeing as how Im using GWX is it possible that instead of going to my patrol grid I can just find an enemy port with shipping going to it and park my uboat underwater like 10km out and just hit plenty of targets as they go in and out?? I want to get some really nice tonnage sunk for once before being sunk.

For one thing, if you a attack a ship from a nation with which Germany is not currently at war, that nation will consider you an enemy for the following 24 hours and other vessels from that nation, if armed, will attack you without further provocation for the duration of your day-long "private war" with them.

This is true no matter what in-game date you're playing, not just in August 1939. So if you attack a US ship prior to December 11 1941, the US will consider itself at war with you - not with Germany, but with you personally - for the next 24 hours.

As far as nations changing their allegiance or status before you finish a patrol... I think you are going to gain or lose renown according to what the nation's status was at the time you sank one of their ships, not how things stand with them once you finally return to base. I'm not entirely sure about that, so maybe someone who is can give a definitive answer. It's possible that for "scoring" purposes things are tallied up only when the patrol is finished, but my gut feeling is that if you sink a US ship on Dec 1 1941 and return to base on Dec 14, it's still going to count as a neutral beacuse it was neutral at the time you attacked it.

Lesson learned. Before 3.SEP.39, just wave to the nice britts, and they won't sink you.

Go to Dover, and have a beer and look out over the white seagulls everlasting mountains, as reflected in the beautiful horizon hours, where we all sometime collectors to remember that it was!

I think you should come up for air. Sounds like a severe case of CO2 poisoning!

All that I can think of that he might mean are 'the white cliffs of Dover', ... but they weren't made by seagulls on a trip to the toilet.

Gerald 09-19-10 07:14 PM

It is about one percentage terms, and all are relatively

frau kaleun 09-19-10 11:29 PM

I think he means the white cliffs of Dover. Which maybe can look like mountains, if you're dead drunk and looking up at them from where you fell on your face on the deck of your u-boat. :O:

Vendor, where are you from? Maybe knowing that helps bridging the language barrier. I'm sorry, but you make no sense at all.

If the Germans lose, you'll be seen as violating the sacred laws of war.

If the Germans win, you'll be seen as being pro-active.

Unfortunately for you, the Germans have a habit of losing....
