Thanks guys. Im not worried about it just frustrated. I still need to get my intercept and Manual targeting down. but for the most part I know where to hit ships to break their back and such. Gibraltor was a hell hole for me though. I will try it another day

On a side note. about the pinging. I assumed they knew where I was becasue I could here it. and when they got closer it would get shorter, but I assumed they got me when my sonarman said "Captain we're being pinged!" or something of the sort. I do say I had one hell of a fight to keep her up though. first round damaged my Conning tower, Diesel Engines and Sonar room all in the red, the D . E. filled up with water, nothing I could do to stop it (I had like 20% realism i.e. infinite battery and O2 and such) so I just put it into high and tried to keep her above crush depth (I couldnt maintain once I started flooding and the repair crews wouldnt fix the flooding fast enough) and then finally she came back for another pass and I tried to hard turn to port while crash dive (I was at 50 m at the time in depth) I evaded the first 4 or 5 in the string (they still got reaaal close, enough to shake the sub but not really damage it) and then the next 3 blew up litterally one meter or less from my conning tower. I was sunk
oh well a new patrol a new day Any real good shipping lanes?? preferably where alot of undefended merchants go??
