Yesterday after a bit of a struggle and a lot of help from the forum I got GW up and running. So I thought.

I've now just lost my boat for the third time. These are the circumstances.

The date is 1 September 1939. Not at war with England.

1 Start a new career.

2 Leave Wilhemshafen in broad daylight, on the surface, at 7kts behind the escort destroyer.

3 Friendly BF109 passes over.

4 Next thing is the boat is receiving damage. Check and have 10+ mtrs water under keel.

5 Not in collision with anything.

6 Crew dying like flies.

End of career.

The first time it happened I thought it might be because I was running at x2 time so kept to x1 for next two patrols.

The time when I receive damage varies but always after I've cleared the harbour.

I wonder if it's the friendly ac. I don't think the Poles had anything similar looking to the BF109 that could reach me, and even if they did it's unlikely that they could carry out a raid on the first day of the war.

Any ideas before I uninstall?
