Thanks for your understanding. Speaking of learning from mistakes, I just had a Das Boot moment. I attacked a ship from periscope depth, and instead of running away the thing started charging towards me! Before I knew it, it was right on top of me and smashed my deck and flak guns to oblivion. I decided to dive down below, and rig for silent running, but the ship started pinging for me. I heard beep beep until, boom. Depth charges took out my sonar and radio. Then I started leaking in my command room. I was surprised that the game actually depicted the water coming out from the pipes in the command room. Very nice touch there. Unfortunately, there was no way to recover from that "mistake." I lost my entire crew to the merciless depths of the never-ending blue.

This is the very first time I ever got attacked by a (destroyer?), so there was definitely something wrong with my previous installation. I'm having a lot more intense but fun moments on my patrol this time around. In fact, I've had more encounters on this one patrol, than I had in about seventeen patrols on my previous installation.
