Learned the hard way that BDU does not like its boats returning without permission or torpedoes...
OMG you returned with torpedos?! I am sure some of you will say I am foolish or even wimpy but my boat had been clipped by a coastal merchant in bad weather - so I knew she was damaged pretty bad & flooding would have us crushed by depth if not for the shallows to rest upon.
So I returned to base.
For making the logical call my 14,351 tonnes was given 0, nada, no renown and yes I had completed the mission and waited three days in the grid - more than required.
It is sad that the AI BDU has no heart nor soul - I saved the crew and salvaged a boat & completed my mission; my reward was zero.
Oh well I will remember next time to waste the eels and request permission formally to RTB.
