U197 IXD2 aborting patrol
Problem with the IXD2.
This IXD2 is performing too good.
Not only can it outmaneuver my old IXB, but it's dive time is less than a VIIC!
A normal (not crash) dive at Ahead Standard took only 23 seconds.
She dives and rises 2 x faster than a IXB, and turn like a Type IID.
To continue this patrol would be a farse, and a cheat.
Going back to my last at sea save with U64 IXB.
5.mar.43 1654 BE54.
I'll see if I can get U64 back to Germany, to be retired to school boat status, the right way.
I'll also start a new IXC the right way. Patrol 1 - beginning in Germany.
Either way, the next patrol will begin in Germany.
A new IXC in 1943, if U64 makes it.
Or, a new start in 1939 (DiD), if she does not.
I'm willing to try a IXD2 from Germany IF I can unsuperize it.
That would realy be a challenge, and maybe a 1 patrol carreer (DiD).
