right, thanks HW3
papa-smurf - I'll swap ya, I have not had anything but failures in my patrols.
My very first one started with an almighty crunch as I steered my sub into the side of the quay. I have improved though. Now I get to my patrol area now without going the wrong way (did that twice), using up all my fuel or running aground in the Kiel canal.
The one and only merchant I have ever bagged outside of naval academy, I shouldn't have, so it didn't count. Patrol boats seem to sniff me out from 100 kilometers away (grr), planes pop up out of nowhere and drop nasty things on me ( but they all miss me, nah-nah-nahnah-nahhh) and at present I am obliged to risk drowning my watch crew when I come up for the battery as the sea is so rough...If ever you see me coming-go deep and stay there for 24. IF I ever get to the place where I can have an emblem on my tower, it needs to be a big red flag. :rotfl::rotfl:
