Idiot seeks tranfer to Eastern Front!!

I swear I am the Mr Magoo of the frickin' Kriegsmarine! I dont know if its ever happened in SH3 before but I think der Grosse Löwe is gonna refuse to give me a new boat soon. I mean I'm not an imbecile normally but put me in a U-boat and watch me disintegrate.
My latest misadventure involved patrolling grid AN23 for 24 hours. (My last patrol ended abrubtly after I crash dived in 30m of water and got DC'd which was un-neccessary as I was flooding anyway ) Surprisingly after patrolling for 24 hours i had not fulfilled my mission objective. After much muttering about mods and bugs I re-read my orders... patrol grid AM23 for 24 hours. Off i set for my designated grid. I patrol. Done. Now to find targets.
One tramp and one large merchie later I find the convoy. This is it. I'm perfectly positioned. Up scope down scope calculate range. Repeat and repeat again. I have the perfect solution. Baby cries (in real life, I dont have a baby on board) I put baby back to sleep. Back to scope, I see convoy disappearing in the distance cos I never paused it!!!!! Surface the boat to try and regain position get spotted by escort, dive deep and run at 2 knots depth charges and die. This all getting too familiar to me. Could be time to re-hire the weapons officer
