U-540 Running the Gauntlet....
 

Before GW, I was a huge fan of RuB and IuB and I have to admit I was a big cissy for saving and reloading all the time. My career was just entering 1941 and I had over 600,000 tonnes to my credit-boooooring.

Since then a little gem of a supermod known as Grey wolves has shown me the light, and having become quite proficient setting up and firing my eels manually I have decided to start a new mid-war career. so, fellow subsimmers may I present to you, Leutnant zur See Heinrich Leffler and the crew of U-540, from the 10th Flotilla, Lorient. Just back from their first patrol with seven pennants flapping in the sea air and 40,000+ tonnes to their credit. 1943 is a bad year for the U-bootwaffe, but with boats like U-540 roaming the Atlantic, the Allies will have their hands full.

This is my first real dead is dead, no reloading career, and starting off mid '43 I have a feeling it's going to be very difficult to stay alive. Wish me luck!

Happy hunting Karl and SINK THEM ALL!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

(Don't forget to add the trawler fix.)

Give ' em hell :rock: Im am mid '44 with Kaptitänleutnant Maximilian von Benning dead is dead career and slowly I start to pray ... things are getting pretty nasty. Damn hedgehocks :o

Good man - always happy to hear of another convert to DiD. And manual targetting - nice. Sink one for me.

Thanks for the heads up on the trawler fix. :up:


My bro has refused to play SH3 after discovering this bug and wont go back until it's been fixed. Maybe I won't tell him for a while, more playing time for me! :ping:

Ta for the words of encouragement all, DiD rules and manual targeting is easy for those who still feel daunted by it. Trust your fellow Kaleuns, it's not that steep a learning curve and now I can hit almost 100% of the time given reasonable conditions.
