Bdu.....lack of posting traffic will not be tolerated (END)

[Freiwillige]

Lets talk about U-boats, Tactics, Bernard or torpedo's! Bdu is getting worried that lack of posting traffic means to many U-boat losses in the Atlantic. All boats Report!

[sergei]

Yeah it is quiet in here today eh?
Where is everyone?

[Freiwillige]

I dunno, Been quiet lately.

Yesterday I went to play SHIII and it hard locked my machine. So I tried SHIV same result! So today I cleaned my CPU internals and found this, Broken processor fan mount. 10 lbs of cat hair and 15 pounds of good old Arizona dust!

Fan mount I rigged with with a twist tie. I bet that caused the lockups as my CPU had no pressure at the contact with the fan base.

Oddly enough I cleaned this 4 months ago!

Look at the viewing numbers of this forum. They're all salivating over SH5.

U-2324 (XXIII) harrassing inshore traffic off the east coast of England.

[KeybdFlyer]

Kptl Schmidt (U-16 Type VIIC) is currently on a northward patrol pattern Grid BF77, Kptl Kramer (U-49 Type VIIB) has docked at Vigo & Obl Lange (U-45 Type VIIB) is in home port Kiel enjoying a well-deserved leave after a successful first patrol. Having been endlessly admonished by Jimbuna to "be more aggressive", I now growl loudly at every opportunity and shake my fist vigourously at approaching aircraft before diving to avoid them. Having received a congratulatory radio message from our fearless leader Neal for spotting and reporting a spam posting, I gave myself a medal (Beck's beer-bottle cap 1st class). Apart from that, all is quiet on the western front.

U-15 (IID) patrolling off of Southampton. I left bernard there of course, to help them with their war efforts!

U-53 here...
Alister Homlier docked at the Thalia in early 1940, after the boat was sabotaged and would only turn 8 knots flank. After spending a few days refueling and getting some well needed rest, well set sail again latter on today. The idea of chewing up merchants around the straight of Gibraltar still sounds fun... then its a fast trip home through the English Channel, and finally Wilhelmshavin.
I would love to be able to play more, unfortunately.. my van jumped a tooth on the timing belt and Ive spent more than a few hours tearing it down and putting it back together. Today should be the last day for that though.

[FIREWALL]

Here. I'll do my part. Anyone care for Spampost on toast ?

Currently January, 1942. After striking out in BF 13, my preferred hunting ground, I head to the north of Ireland to see what the AM squares have to offer.

U-54 is fruitlessly chasing shipping in the worst storm I've seen. I can only get hydrophone contact on a merchant of some sort but can't seem to get a target within my 300m or so visual bubble to point a torpedo at it.

Finally I got visual on a small merchant and started aiming a T1 at it. Then, whaddya know? A gnat of a motor torpedo boat is hosing down my decks with gunfire. I dive to PD, lose visual contact with the merchie, and wait for the torpedo boat to get bored looking for me before surfacing hours later. That boat saved the merchant, no doubt.

Still patrolling in what has been one of the more frustrating missions I've been on. Weeks at sea with a full load of eels ready to swim, but nowhere to go.

Since my present machine can't handle SH3, I'm cleaning ashtrays at BDU. Waiting for the final SH5 specs. It looks like I will be able to swing a new machine put together here in Santiago.

Right, guys, go visit Balz, little traffic there, too.

[GoldenRivet]

I'll be honest... things have been busy and i have not fired up SH3 since probably April or May.

Yes, im salivating over SHV... i still love SH3, but i feel like it is time to retire the old girl for some reason.

It is one of 3 games i currently have on my PC, but i just have not launched it lately, though i have hovered my mouse cursor over the desktop icon for a few seconds in deep thought.

She will always hold a special place on my hard drive.

Im waiting to push out to sea with my new crew in spring of 2010

September 1943: Off the north west coast of Madagascar prowling the Mozambique Channel south of the Comoros Islands.

Weather is absolutely filthy.

No radar or sound contacts.

Only one hit so far - a 'Ceramic' ocean liner. Moving fast too. No escorts heard or seen. Strange that the Allies should be so careless. They have stopped making such mistakes for a while now. Definetly wasn't a neutral vessel.

Plan to ride out the storm and maybe head toward Zanzibar or Mobassa.

Fuel situation is fine but the crew are suffering with the bad weather. The enforced lack of action is making us all stale. Even in this weather one suspects that the Allies have aircraft up looking for us. We must not relax but the beat of the engines is hypnotic when combined with the endless horizons when the weather is good.

Test fired the AA guns when the weather was good. Tracking and loading is fine.

So much ocean and so few boats. The Allies must be sailing convoys across the southern oceans with ease.

u1224 just clear of the biscai, down fore a long patrol down south.
