Reporting back aboard

Greetings
Have been away from Subsim for quite some time but hope to return to the community.

Am currently at sea (day-22) in U-581, a Type VIIC on her first patrol, using GWX 2.1, and playing DiD (both Dead is Dead and Dumb is Done - more on that in a bit). It's April 1943, the weather is typical North Atlantic - atrocious with continuous storms for the last 11 days. Have so far sunk a 10-thousand tonner sailing alone and in a surface attack last night sank a troop ship that turned out to be a hospital ship. Her lights should have been a giveaway but it was a difficult approach using hydrophone and (a first for me in SH3) radar as well as intermittent visual observations. I was so proud when two of the three torpedo salvo actually hit.

Somehow D'oh just doesn't say it all, hence the Dumb is Done injunction.

Spent a week or so enjoying the scenery on the lovely Rockall Bank, visited many times a day by those nice young men with Wabo's-R-Us (aka Coastal Command) but so far their delivery has been off. Returning now to St. Nazaire have stumbled on a large inbound convoy and have commenced real time operations against it.

Hopefully, the Wife will understand that this should take priority over her online Scrabble games...

Good Hunting

I've been away from subsim for a few months too, and not mention, how long
it's been since I last played SH3 or 4, but after reading this story, I'm eager to
play Kaleun again, but it's to bad I don't have the time to do so.

Welcome back Kaleun...I think you'll find GWX3.0 is a great improvement of GWX2.1

I an amazed at the number of players who return to the game and find they really enjoy it again. With SH3CMDR and GWX3.0 it is actually a different game. Adding mods makes it even more enjoyable.
There are several major mods; I have played four of them and they are all good.
