Left Kiel on 30.apr.43.
Patroled the area between Greenland and Canada with no sightings or sinkings.
Arrived in Lorient on 14.jul.43, alive.

That's the way it has to stand. Originaly, it would/should have listed 4 ships sunk, from 2 convoys, for over 30.000 GRT. Tryed to Save & Exit only to suffer a CTD. After loading my last save, I couldn't bring myself to cheat by using knowledge I wouldn't have had about the 2 convoys, so I changed my patrol route. They must have been the only 2 convoys out there because, we saw nothing, and BDU told us nothing regarding convoys. "Oh well."

We even passed through AJ97, where the real U531 was sunk by HMS Vidette, on her first war patrol. No HMS Vidette. No convoy. No nothing. But, at least the SH3 U531 is still kicking.
