My first career with the full NYGM Tonnage War mod has been very fun. I started mid-year 1943, Lorient, with a Type IXC. On my first patrol I recieved a message from Donitz ordering all U-Boats to stay surfaced and counter-attack enemy aircraft within the Bay of Biscay.

What a great improvement. My hats off to all NYGM contributors. On that first patrol I lost 4 four sailors using the flak guns. On the second patrol I took a ton of damage and had to return to base after 48 hours on patrol. On the third patrol I made a heroic effort and lost 6 sailors, a warrant officer, and my main watch officer trying to fend off the Biscay Air Patrol. ... again I had to return to base. All of this without shooting down a single plane.

This is a vast improvement. I remember in the vanilla game I shot down 19 aircraft on a single mission in the Med! This is so much more realistic. Again, Thanks a bunch. And congrats on a successful release.
