I had some very close calls that in career's past ended them but no matter how well you play this bad luck can and often does intervene.

One area that has doomed me in the past is getting radar warnings and watching to see how often they are reported as a means of determining distance.
This being with rainy weather!!
In this career I was caught by a Frigate who was literally on my 180.
Normally I dive and normally I die.
However, because i have died so often I cranked it up to emergency and since he was kind enough to be exactly on my 180 I got the biggest career saving break by taking him out with a , well not a down the throat shot so must be an out the butt shot

In truth what made the difference is the extended visual range. before that frigate would have been under 300 meters before I would have known it and could not fire at that close a range.

Another time I was caught on the surface by two big bombers and my engines would not start. I had them on emergency but just sat there. Severe damage caused my boat to dive or I would have been done for and I was able to reverse the plunge at 200 meters with enough damage control.

I had over 28K renown saved up for a XXI but never used it as one has to be based at Bergen to buy one.
Oh well, maybe I will start a 1944 career and change the price from 20K to 500 and see what they are like

Only someone that plats GWX3Gold at 100% (No eye of God either) would understand why posting this at all means something.
