Hi Guys,

I completed a patrol tonight and got both a new sub (VII C) and some promotion points. I gave it a try and gave the navigator some intensive training.

Now I am able to hold the depth at 150 m at slow speed without problems. Couldn´t check any deeper, since I am still in the north sea on my way to the western approaches, but the problem of sinking to death seems to be fixed now.

Don´t know if it´s the new boat or the navigator´s skills, but finally I´m able to sneak away deep and slow.
