Having a fit PC just since few days, I'm a real beginner with SHIII; best thing to say about that, is that I was able to buy the sim at bargain price.

Well, have a laugh with my newbie's experiences.

First patrol.
As usual for an AOD player, I plotted a course to patrol area and went on the bridge to look around.
Just the time to say "wow, what a nice harbour" and my sub was lost, all hands, by crash test against said nice harbour.

Second patrol.
No problem in leaving the harbour, by a mix of hand made navigation and plotted course, NOW on max zoom.
Less than 48 hours later the captain committed suicide, having sunk a german merchant; you know, a red flag in AOD is always a target...

Third patrol.
A suspicious captain was able to leave the harbour, make a perfect navigation to patrol area, inside patrol area and back to Kiel; none ship engaged, by total confusion about right identification; several torpedoes launched by mistake, when trying to stop time compression pressing enter (hard to change old habits)
This one then survived ten patrols, getting the diamonds; unfortunately, the percent of stupidly lost torpedoes decreased very slowly.
