they had to have fixed it as it's likely a quite serious bug

Sure I saw this in the earlier 1.3 read-me's for items to fix.

This is why it is wisest to wait for the official release. Betas are called Betas for a reason.

My question is this:
Is it gonna be A FEATURE or an OPTION?
Let me rephrase that: can I have a total control over that thing?

As I remember from SH1 if you failed to be aggressive three patrols in a row you got a desk job. :rotfl:

Historically speaking, that was how it happened. Sometimes skippers were relieved after two unsuccessful patrols.

As far as career length, I believe the average was 5 patrols before being moved to a desk job. Isn't SH4 setup that after a set amount of patrols you need to spend renown to stay in command?

Yeah, lucky Americans. German Kaleuns being too little aggressive were executed ...

The documentation with the beta 1.03 patch says that careers will end after between 5 and 8 missions. It claims this is historically accurate. We need to wait and see what the official patch does.

Have to ask to where you got that from, I haven't heard of that before?

I don't mind forced retirement, me... <ducks>

It's a slight exaggeration. The only U-boat commander to be sentenced to death for 'lack of aggression' was Heinz Hirsacker, and he was given a gun with which to commit suicide before the sentence could be carried out.

That kind of talk will get you stuffed in the deck gun and fired at a destroyer.

I know of 2 U-Boot Commanders that were executed during WWII:
KpLt Hirsacker, U-572 (Court-Martial Shot for cowardice in 1942)
Oblt Oskar Kusch, U-154 (1943)
