I do not want to sound like a party pooper, but that 50,000 tons would not have felt good to me knowing I had to nearly sink myself bulldozing u-nets in a next generation, irreplaceable Type XXI boat. I would have been much more cautious and done what I could to find a hole, even if it meant steaming all the way to the other side of Scapa Flow. I am all for taking risks, but putting a boat through an oversized french fry cutter is not one of them. Now, if that tonnage would have come without tearing the boat up, I would certainly salute that. I have taken a XXI boat into Scapa Flow only in the historical mission and know how tricky it can be.
What mods were you running, by the way? It would be curious to know to see exactly what you were dealing with.
