jimbuna, i have just noticed how many posts you have! ( an icon with eyes popping out )

i also agree with you in this post - plus - no high TC's in and around coast lines and known shipping lanes.

...Not so long ago... i had a very good career. a very good crew and a very good tonnage. i was so eeeeager/impatient to get back to W/haven to collect renown and all the goodies on one particular patrol i high TC'd it back to close in land and struck a schnell boot - all hands gone. i was mortified. it was late at night and i had sailed this patrol all day - ALL DAY! i had punctured a convoy sunk a couple of Black Swans and was feeling mighty pleased. (i had back pain and was sweating during the last attack.)

i still have the saved career but feel it would not be 'immersion' to resurect those good men.
