Check your kaleun's report (key K) showing your sinkings. The top of the report will show a summary of where you departed, your assigned grid and, more importantly, your departure date. |
-Oops!
Checked when I got home from work yesterday. When I was getting ready to load my last save and start playing, I saw the automatic "In port before patrol" save was dated 9/2/39.
Oh well. I'm on my patrol grid after sinking one Granville type freighter on the way there, off the coast of Ireland, in a downpour.
One of the coolest sinkings I've seen. After 1 torpedo out of 2 hit, I was in bad position to do another submerged attack, surfaced and played torpedo boat at flank speed to get around her and try to put another eel into her(the seas were too high for a deck gun action).
I noticed she was down by the stern and her speed was dropping off. Just when I was in position and starting to swing around to put another eel into her, she stopped and started goiong down stern first. Really cool to watch. She went almost vertical before slipping under.
This is a cool game!
