well thank you all gentlemen. I have just been having another bash at the torpedo training ( sigh). I can usually nobble the big merchant with one or two 'fish' ( zat right?), but getting lined up to sink someone else takes me such a long time that most of them have scuttled off and I have to chase them and try to come alongside..ee. I WILL get the hang of it.
I have read quite a bit of the Grey Wolves manual, but not too much of the history bits, next I will try the tips and tricks section on here to see if I can improve my performance.
I have several times watched the Das Boot sequence play through. Each time I felt a mixture of admiration and respect for the young men who had to endure such awful conditions threats and possibilities for months at a time, and a renewed confirmation that war is indeed horrible.
