Left from Vigo, Bessel. So did not have any renown for reaching patrol area. Played on 94% Realism with GWX. Last torp hit, but did not sank a 22K tons Fleet Carrier.. :( Would have been a real renown harvest it would have sunk...

Damage was caused by the "hat" i used in my convoy attack... used it for taking out all escorts before surfacing and using the deck gun.

Sep 9, -43. St Nazaire.
Good start on our 28´th patrol:arrgh!:
Loong way to go, FC72. 22 days at 7 knots. One way...
And we had to dive 6 times just to get out of the Biscaya.

But, orders are orders.
U-553.

Wolff.

It says 8008. The problem is that numbers have to read the same way forward and backward, as the game reverses images from side to side.

Iambecomelife has solved the problem, but the Flower skins were made before that happened.

Why 7kn?

Given the date (late 1943) I'm guessing he spent a good deal of time traveling submerged due to the possiblity of attack by aircraft. Can't get the same top speed submerged that you can on the surface.

Or maybe just slower speed overall to conserve fuel for a particularly long voyage?

Economical reasons. Longer range with 7kts then with 10 or 15 knots. :up:

Yes, it´s the most economic speed for the type VIIc.
And you need some reserves for hunting convoys. Or high speed manouvers when under attack from planes.

I thought it was 9Kts for a VIIC :hmmm::06:
