So I decided to start over (while continuing my "main" career) and try things I did not try with the aforementioned "main". Namely the external camera, the IIA, the Mediterranean and (later) the really large submarines.
I started with IIA and the ext. camera (but not to cheat with

). Let me say it's a fun little sub! Patrols are (inevitably) short, as are engagements.
A few pics (click to make larger) from my first patrol:
The crew huddled together on the tiny conning tower - we're a happy family!
The IIA coming through the murky waters - the bow really looks like an alien (a "grey")
Good shot, he spotted us though (I missed). That was the whole patrol, really. Engaging one merchant. It is a welcome change in some ways, although I probably won't be able to take it for too long

Med here I come!
Return to Kiel with... not much. Next time, boys! Next time!
