U-159 crew's longest patrol, ever

Kipparikalle · 06-21-08, 06:33 PM

Holy wood knuckles! Finally it's over! Its ****ing finally over!
Apparently, I got new uboat, IXD2. And sweet Jesus what a beast it is.
Almost 3 months at sea, and first time, EVER. I'm surprised at the count of sinks I got. I frigging shot every possible ammunination I had, torpedoes, AA's, deckgun. All empty.
Shot over 20 planes down (srsly, I ****ing love the 4-barreled angel of death)
And I almost frigging orgasmed when I saw the tonnage.

OVER 70 TONNAGE!!! HOLY ****ING ****!
OVER 70 TONS!!!

NEVER GOT SO MUCH!

MY BRAINS ARE MELTING BECAUSE OF THE OVERHELMING FEELING OF AWESOMENES!

HOLY ****

GWX = BEST ****ING MOD EVER

Congrats but I don't see the point in those long patrols. There are ships around England and it's like, right next to us. Keeps my average patrol length to 4 days.

You obviously haven't been to the east coast of America, have you? Or down to Freetown. LOTS of tonnage!

Ya I have... once. It wasn't worth the wait. Not to be competitive but I'll bet I can sink more tonnage off of the English/Irish coasts than you can sink off of the U.S. coast in say, three months. I sound like such an A$$ saying this, but for comparison's sake I averaged a four day patrol length in 42-44 going from Lorient to BF15. On the other hand, without being able to say for certain how accurate GWX is compared to a real U-boat, maybe I would have been sunk 100 times over while you re-lived the happy times in American waters. Just my 2 cents.

Is this much? I usually have 50 000 tons with VIIC, and IX patrols result usually in 80 000-120 000 tons. With GWX 2.1. 70 000 tons with IXD2 sounds little to me.

UnderseaLcpl · 06-23-08, 07:29 AM

70,000 tons is nothing to scoff at when compared to successes of real U-boat commanders. Also your realism settings also are a factor. Also luck. Also what year it is. Also what torpedoes you use and which fuse you utilize and how well. Also your level of experience with the game and how well you understand the art of interception. But 70k is certainly an excellent patrol.

edit- damnit I misspelled successes

edit_damnit I misspelled misspelled

edit-OMFG I misspelled successes by correcting the original spelling. One should not post after having a celebratory post-patrol drink.

Kipparikalle · 06-23-08, 11:29 AM

I think I typod somewhere
I mean over 70 000 tons, and as I remember the exact count is 78 252 tons.

And please, go a bit easy on me. This is the highest count I've ever reached on single patrol, computer crashes, jams and stuff like that have prevented me to reach any higher. And I was drunken from all the awesomenes I felt.

Red Heat · 06-23-08, 04:25 PM

Great Patrol, Kaleu...congratulation for your sucefull carear!

woobla · 06-25-08, 07:41 AM

congrats man. My highest is only 20K.

I always seem to get a few good kills then ****ed up the ass by some destroyer who I cant hit.
