I don't recall ever having such a short career, other than by being KIA. SH3 Commander retired my commander, Kapitanleutnant Herbert Mast after four patrols, Knight's Cross, 27 ships of 158,469 tons, including two warships, HMS Newcastle and HMS Rodney. I have been assigned to U-boat flotilla Weddigen as commander of training. I would have had one more ship of about 10,000 tons, but I saved the game while the ship was sinking, exited to adjust my anti-alias settings, reloaded, watched the ship sink and then did not get credit for the sinking. Lesson: don't reload when a ship is sinking. C'est le guerre! I was going to use my accumulated renown to take command of a Type IX, but I got transferred ashore. I bet those dogs Prien, Kretschmer and Schepke will pass me in the tonnage score, while I rot away on shore, nursemaiding a bunch of wet behind the ears kids.

Man, I love this game and how SH3 Commander makes your careers both interesting and unpredictable. In my opinion, the tonnage scores tend to be less arcadish and more believeable. Time to start a new career at the part of the war where my last career ended.
