THX for the warm welcome mates.

Actually I`m an SH3 old-hand, owned it since day one and have read subsim from the start but seldom posted anything. Great and very informative board.

I haven`t bothered with SH3 for the last year or so, but discovered GWX a few months back. Since than I`m hooked again. I lost my career due to a system crash (only then noticed that SH3 saves are on C: partition, is there a way to change it?) so had to begin again. Started with U-53 at St.-Nazaire in Oct. `40 and am on Patrol 2 right now. In patrol 1 I found for the first time ever something bigger than an escort, Dido-class HMS Argonaut and sank her. First patrol ended with 51,000 tons (87 % difficulty).

Now I`m S-W of Ireland, I broke away from before-mentioned convoy as the weather was horrible after sinking 2 medium merchants. Some ships did sink, I don`t know if they were torpedoed or the bad weather was destroying them. Earlier I got one whaler and the already mentioned tanker, so my current patrol is around 36,000 tons with 6 eels left (I had some bad luck with duds unfortunatly).

Big fun here!
