The second is to plot in a course for some really distant point...say Murmansk. Go to slowest speed and sit back and relax. Seems the sim's AI gets upset by this for some reason and, for me at least, usually pops up convoy after convoy seemingly trying to get you to alter your course away from what you have just laid in with way points.
I did this just today. I decided I was going up to take a look around for icebergs (my SH3 Gen had them plotted all over the Northern seas)and found myself in the middle of a convoy before the lookouts even spotted the darn thing...only med fog. After the attack I was almost run down with no less than 3 more in a radius of less than 100 Km. my machine went to a crawl even at 1:64 speed TC. Needless to say I was out of torps long before I even got off to a good start for the ice fields.  |
OOOOOHH I gotta try that after my current patrol ends
