Before i tell you of MY first patrol with GWX i want you to know that i haven't played this game for almost a year. So i'm re-learning everything (though i can't say it's much to re-learn since i hadn't played for a long time before i stopped).
So anyway, I'm heading out of Wilhelmshaven (at night) hoping that this first patrol with GWX will be a succesful one. Shortly after ordering "Ahead standard" i hear the sound of airplanes and after that something that i think are explosions. I assume that the airplanes are attacking the harbor (but now that i think about it, has the war started when you begin in 1939?) and ask my navigator for depth under the keel. The answer is 35 meters. "Then i can safely go down to 12 meters", i think. And at first there are no problems. But after a couple of hundred meters i hear that sound of metal grinding against the ocean floor. Then there start coming in reports of torpedo room damage, heavy flooding and basically damage all over the boat. 2 crew members are also killed instantly. I quickly order the boat to surface. But this doesn't help at all, instead the depth meter sinks to 15 meters (don't know why. I don't think i could sink much more) and nothing happens. The last things that goes through my mind before the boat is destroyed is: "I shouldn't have painted that giant 13 on the conning tower".
