Hi,

Thanks JU_88!

I'll try that next time I load up SH3. I've never been one to edit files like this, I've always believed that if you get crap renown you keep it crap until you improve. But in this case you feel cheated by the game - it should have given those 500 points back as I didn't actually want the Falke torpedo.

So STEED, I don't see it as joining the dark-side at all - LOL!!!

@IceGrog - Mate, all I can say - lots of luck helped me with that tonnage!

I broke off contact with a merchant after seeing the radio report of the convoy on the map. I attacked the it 3 times - took a couple of days overall. Got DC's a few times, but wasn't too badly damaged. Attempting the 4th attack I couldn't even get close, the Destroyers were everywhere, so decided to break off the attack. Heading back to Brest with only 3 torps left (and low on fuel) I saw another convoy and I was on an intercept course attacking off their port side at 100 degrees. I fired all 3 eels at 2kms and hit a pyro which went down easily, a tanker and a large merchant. I finished off the merchant with the deck gun the following morning shortly after dawn when the destroyers were nowhere in sight then headed home.

Cheers guys!

PS - Just to stress this - I don't plan to cheat to get torpedoes - SH3 conned me out of those 500 points by adding a torpedo I didn't want and not giving me back the 500 when I replaced it with a pre-war steam torp. I won't be editing these files afterwards for any other reason, but I feel it's justified in this case.
