Default War, it never changes...

Well, after playing the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 till I was blue in the face, it is time to get back to sinking merchants. Hopefully I will have better luck this time, my last two commanders never made it out of 1939!

Kurt Zipfel will be commanding U-28, a Type VII at the start of the war.

LOL, I saw a Task force head into lock ewe, so right now, my Uboat has past the breakers, and headed towards what he thinks is a rodney Class Battleship...and perhaps the hood or king Gorge class battleships...

Yea, I take a lot of risks....


Ship sunk! HMS Hood (HMS Hood), 48360 tons. Crew: 1417. Crew lost: 410




Almost made it out too....


















Of course, if I knew it was only going to take two eels to take out the hood, I would of put two on the Rodney!

The Hood has been the bane of all my Kapitans, I seen it a dozen times, but I am unable to get a shot in, or even when the one time I was lined up with a ideal shot, my spread hits a J&K escort that happen to sail right in the path of the eels.

Thus the other captains will be buying
Kurt Zipfel all his drinks in the big nightclub in the sky. And my next guy will be a little LESS aggressive!

Just wait until you sink one of the big ones and get out alive... only to have the same battleship show up a few months later in a different part of the Atlantic.

Well they won't be there by the time you enter the anchorage
