To hell with BDU and their insane ramblings! I aint going to GR89,not this early in the war anyway! <-- that is the 2 fingered salute in this scenario.
I have also just developed a SERIOUS problem with both the diesels and the electrics,due to the malfunctions tweak in Commander.Another reason why plodding down to the end of the Earth is out of the question!,man it would take years!.
I am managing about 7kts when set to 12kts,and submerged is just totally pathetic,a measly 1-2kts at 1/3.Don't get me wrong,I like this tweak as it has forced me to make some serious decisions for a change,whereas before I didnt have to.
So...for those that are interested in this little tale,I have swung the boat round and decided to try and intercept shipping in AL99,where there is a large convergance in that area.This was the nearest hotspot from my current position barely 100km SW of Lorient.Due to the terrible engine performance I cannot afford under ANY condition to engage warships,and to not even be detected by them,as I wont be able to outrun the DC runs .I will probably also order silent every time I dive too during the day,even if no warships are in the area,I just cant afford to take the risk due to a large lack of speed.
I could have opted for a raid on Liverpool too,but with the shallower waters and cramped maneuvering,this would have been suicide with these faulty engines.Deep water is imperative for this patrol!.

Sorry about the rambling,its just plain old enthusiasm
