Ahoi,
I made my 16th patrol Mai-June 1941 and finally have been ordered to transfer to Lorient while at sea when less than 10% fuel and 8 torpedoes remaining.
Patrol not successful only sink a carrier Indifatigable + damaging Renown and 3 ships (1 was a wreck) and could only follow by radio the sinking of Bismarck : too far for helping.
And I saw the nice U-Boot bunkers of Lorient.
Wilhelmshaven was becoming a little too hot : nice welcoming home by Halifax group bombing you when nearing basis and thinking you are safe now, especially at end of patrol 15 in the night + weather 12.
Same when leaving basis for Patrol 16 this time at day and 2 bomber wawes.
I docked and was again dead as for patrol 15 but I cheat.
The only information when a career is ended is given by SH3Cdr in the Personal File Update at the end of it.
And SH3Cdr gives you the choice too to surrender instead to be lost at sea in main screen + info Personal File.
Will launch Patrol 17.
Greetings
