I have to admit that when I do another career, I will be hard pressed to go past September 1943. The game really started to suck after that. I just wanted to complete a war career at least once.

20 months of aircraft sighted, crash dive, repair, quick charge rinse and repeat gets old realllllly fast.

But SH3 is a historical simulator and that's how life (and death) was for U-boats after late 1943.

My only regret was spending the renown on the upgraded superstructure and the extra flak guns (one heavy two light). It was a waste of renown. By the time I was able to get these, fighting air attacks was a losing game.

Having spent this renown I ran out when some of the newer homing torpedoes came available. I never was able to get a schnorkle (them things be expensive!)

It was interesting surviving a particularly brutal depth charge attack from this overly dedicated destroyer in the early morning of 9 May 1945.

I wanted to send up a message "hey dude, you already won the frickin war! No need to kill me!"

I was disappointed that there was no emotional ending to the game. It just kind of ended. It would have been nice if I could have hosted the white flag and sailed into a British harbour and surrendered with honour.

Awesome game. Been playing it for years but never went through the full war. As part of Operation Paperclip I have been transfered to the Pacific. Someone has to show these Naval Academy woosies that there is more to commanding a submarine then getting dressed up for fancy dances.

But I will be back. I anticipate World War II to start again in a few months LoL
