Mark 18 = bad luck

Ahoy me Hearties!!!

I'm at 1943, shipped out from Pearl at July 1st, now its September 12th, and I cant find ships...

They are now always outbound, none seeming to come to and have a taste of the magnetic exploder (which is dud) in the Mk18s...

My renown declined from 2506 to only 6, after purchasing 5 X500 Mk18s back at Pearl.

I'm inclined to say that weather has been turbulent but for the most part, it was calm. I decided to head to the equator (since after reading wiki's article on the magnetic pisol, specifically:

"During World War II, magnetic pistols often exploded prematurely or not at all. The reason was that magnetic lines are more horizontal close to the equator than towards the poles. For example, the US Mark 6 magnetic pistol was designed and tested only once at 41° latitude (60° geomagnetic latitude) at Narragansett Bay, but was primarily used in equatorial latitudes.[1] At the equator, the signal strength to the Mark 6 magnetic pistol was only about half that of where the Mark 6 was tested."

Not a single inbound ship, a month after dusting off, came to.

When I'm done with these, I'll set course to Pearl, and once I arrive, I'll personally strangle the BuOrd QM, with my hairy hands... Oh yes sir, it will be hairy....
