I am really ok with the RFB mod. In my youth i red many u-boat adventures of the kriegsmarine and nowadays i read about the fleet boats on wikipedia.

The main thing is that even none of the german asses reached the sucess of their WW1 pendants. The sucess of Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière, who sunk 194 Merchants with 453.716 tons in 14 patrols was never reached again.
So most patrols of WW2 were just a combination of boredom and stress.

Many people here seem to have forgotten that the american sucess of submarines which crippled the japanese merchant navy so heavy was a product of the outstanding number of subs after end of 1943 and not of single SUPER CREWS who sunk 25 ships per patrol.

But.. something in the new damage model is a little strange to me, too.
Today i picked up a single "Small Old Split Freighter". Targetting with Dick O'Kane i fired 2 fish, both impact. From the first second i was sure he must go done.
After getting hit he accellareted from 8 knots to 12 knots. When i was sure that he got no deck gun i surfaced. When he noticed me he turned into large right hand bend. I did the same on his starboard side.

It was like a corral in an old Western. Seddlers on the inside, natives outside.:rotfl:

After 20 min (for which i used tc) i started a little practise with the deck gun. 40 rounds fired, 20 by me 20 by AI crew. I won the competition because i got 16 hits, the ai only 12.

So we revolved each other for another 15 mins and than he sunk.

So far i know i HAVE TO SEE the sinking of the ship for getting the credits. I am really not proud of my absolute unrealistic and silly behavior

But what could i do ? To slow to follow under water. So let him go without credits ?!
