not trying to re invent it. Im just trying to go off my knowledge and simplify it lol :P but good idea, the idea is have all the tips and tricks of the trade right at the start of the post instead of link a for this b for this (which I have to say alot of those links didnt make much sense to me for first starting out) and then after having to sift through 99 pages of different OT posts and then actual tips and tricks followed by some mor OT posts and such. It would at the most only be a few posts long but would be in book format that would be easy to understand( Ie. Ch1 Ch2 Ch3 Ch4) with sub chapters with a brief paragraph of two pertaining to certain things such as evading destroyers, using night to your advantage, a quick run over interception, correct firing position (I almost always use the fast 90 as I find it most effective) good hunting grounds and such)
And I know but I still think the search function is still a bit inadequate, I can never seem to find what I want even though I search 20 times or more, and yes I know how to search :P
But other than what you said, Id like to take a vote on what all topics you Kaleuns should be covered? My basic idea (dont take this for order is
A) Navigation
1 'Interception'
2 'danger zones'
3 'hunting grounds'
4 'Conclusion'
B)Attacking
1 'Types of attacks and when to use them'
2 'Torpedo attack explanation'
3 ' Deck Gun attack explanation'
4 'Conclusion'
C) Detection ( finding ships to sink)
1 'Methods of and how to use'
2 'Merchants'
3 'Warships'
4 'Convoys'
5 'Task Forces'
6 'Conclusions'
D) Evasion
1 'Running Silent'
2 'Sonar'
3 'Depth Charges'
4 Hedgehogs (I have no info on hedgehogs so if someone could please submit a paragraph or two on hedgehogs and how to counter them that would be great)
5 'Planes'
6 'What to do when Sh** hits the fan'
7 'Conclusion'
E) Crew
1 'Qualifications and what they do'
2 'Moving crew around'
3 'Promotions'
4 'How to use your crew wisely'
5 'Conclusion'
F) Patrols
1 'Smart Thinking as a Kaleun' (as in you ahve to get to patrol grid xxxx which way should you take based on situation)
2 'Resource management' (Dealing with fuel and battery and torps and such and what to do)
3 'Patroling your grid'
4 'RTB'
5 'Conclusion'
and thats all ive got for now. Ill probably add other sub chapters and re organize to fit better but yeah.
