U-Boat number
 

Out of curiosity what type of u-boat do you use and what is it's number. Mine is a type VIIC called U-529(name after the u-boat in Medal of Honor Allied Assault).

At the moment I'm in charge of U-122 (2nd Flotilla), a Type IXB boat. I didn't bother to change the number with SH Commander or anything. I'll likely do that next campaign and on a different type of boat.

Right now I'm running a type VIIC with the number given me by SH3 Commander U-98. I'm running the VIIC testing mod setups getting ready for WaW V.

U-51, Type VIIB. Currently on its way to grid AM53 (grumble grumble) in July 1940.

U-45 VIIB In base after 2nd patrol. I may choose a new number when I get my VIIC.

U-57, VIIB currently


advice to wwii44, check all of your crates before you load them on!

U-123 Type IXB, 2nd Flotilla. I picked that number because that particular boat survived the war. Hope it might bring me some luck! :DL

:hmm2:
That is real good hunting in there, a little shallow, but good hunting anyway.:yep:

It's the shallow part that worries me, combined with the potential proximity of RN task forces. Which I hate to pass up if given the chance to intercept (and there's a big prize involved), but don't want to tangle with if I can't dive as deep as the boat will safely go.

I get you. Spend the 24 there and move to the Northwestern part of AM52. There is still great hunting there with lots of convoys going both ways, and deep water too.

U-46, type VIIB.

:salute:

That's exactly my plan, mate! :salute:

I've already lost one boat to a TF of destroyers that spotted me just after I spotted them in the North Sea, in the grid east of Scapa. I ran silent and went as deep as I could but it wasn't nearly deep enough to throw them off. And there wasn't a fog bank in sight to lose myself in on the surface. :wah:

I have to admit that for a while afterwards I'd keep asking for a different grid in Commander until I got one that I knew wasn't in the Nordsee or too close to the English/Scottish coast. Then I lucked out and drew one right off that had me down where the shipping routes out of West Africa peel off in one direction towards Gibraltar and in the other towards Britain. Had fantastic luck down that way so I figure I'm due to take whatever I get this time around. Don't intend to push my luck though. :D

Type VIIC,
U-657
Why 657
6 Letters in my first name
5 Letters in my middle name
7 Letters in my Surname

Then I researched everything about her.

Shaking down U 45 - also waiting for W@W5 and getting my mods all working. Including finding a roster of the original crew and modifying my files to match.

For my realistic career, I use U-123 which is what SH generated.

For my nuclear career, I use U-777 because its a lucky number to me.
