Yup. You'l start in july, 1943. And then they'll send you to a south atlantic grid. Whle down there, they'll tell you to refuel at brake, and then patrol the arabian sea. Then your base changes to Penang.

Sink or survive, its a one way trip. You' wont be crossing biscay bay again.
Out of curiosity I attempted what you said here. Needless to say I concur that the IXD2 is too big for its own good. I made it out of the Bay of Biscay around the 5th of July 1943. Weather was rough and I had to surface for batteries. I surfaced right away and received a radar contact off to my 270 bearing. Needless to say it being 1943 I took no hesitation in ordering the crash dive. However the damn boat was too slow getting down there and the Catalina came out of the sky and I recieved all she had which was 8 bombs or such right behind my conning tower. I survived the initial blow but flooding was to great and we went straight down before crushing at 190m.

I'll try again later tonight as I am trying to get the handle on these big boats because I'm "training" for Silent Hunter IV.
