OK thanks. Got heaps of this era stuff laying around, it's DDR1 though, and 4 sticks not friendly with this era mobo I think. But I do have more lying around to try.
I've long abandoned the idea though of going near dunkerque. I had 4 attempts without a CTD (it really only does a CTD when I go near the french shore). It's weird though as I have chased and been chased by two convoys and not had problems. IE chased the convoy with the ocean liner while being chased by the warship taskforce, and a few aircraft has been into the mix and it wont CTD unless I go near the french shore.
Anyway, with the system as it currently is, after 4 CTDs, I tried again a few more times without any CTD by stay far away from dunkerque itself.
One time from the north to intercept in the middle of the channel.
Warship task force cleaned me up (got ran over, couldn't repair damage in silent mode)
next attempt, avoided that warship task force that shows up really late (they start firing before I've even spotted them), but didn't find any ships by the time I got near.
Last attempt, boot it west to dover to intercept rather than i) risk CTD by being near france, ii) avoid the warship taskforce from the north. Didn't work out so good, air craft in the area, so again had to submerge and couldn't get into position for anything.
So I've given up in the area completely anyway. Bugged out and headed north, tried to intercept a convoy heading NW from the aberdeen area, but missed my two shots, so now the long journey back to Kiel. Empty handed with nothing to show for it for the first time since patrol #1
