Howda folks, well went out on my first patrol "als Deutsche" and low and behold,
I saw a huge "Nevada" class Battleship before my periscope, of course she wasn't alone, plenty of escorts, well after sneaking up on her, I let all 4 fwd tubes fly, this stopped her, I went underneath her, then gave her the rest out the back. Well after ending my patrol, I received the Knight's cross (Ritterkreuz) well I found that kind of odd, because the picture they show is the Ritterskreuz, with Eichenlaub, Schwerter, und Diamanten in GOLD!!! Holy moly, the only guy known ever to receive that was a Luftwaffe guy named: Hans Ulrich Rudel, after completing 2530 missions and destroying
over 547 tanks!
How about just honoring us with the standard medal, then let us work up the ladder! Oakleaf, swords, then diamonds. What was the most amzing thing, i didn't even have the iron cross 1st and 2nd class, which would never have happened. So i f you want it realistic, back to the books dudes!! Gruesse aus der Schweiz!
