Feeble stats???

No wonder you were retired...Admiral!

mstgnymike · 10-04-07, 07:24 PM

if you think thats feeble you should of fought the royal navy barehanded cuz i dont know wut must be good to you

maddysad · 10-04-07, 10:32 PM

Thanks guys
I read on here
Patrols claiming 40,000 to 60,000 tons per patrol

Daring attacks into ports

Major battleships as scalps

I only intercepted 2 convoys and sank probably 10 ships total from that (thats where the Warship tonnage came in as they got between me and my intended target

)
Everything else has been 1 or 2 ship unprotected (gunnery practice until they started shooting back)

Salute

Fairly spot on to how it was in the war (I wasent born then, just books I've read and lurking around U-boat net). If you read most of the careers of there at that site many reflect what you have done. SH3 Commander 2.7 is the ultimate !

Oh yea congrats for doing your duty !

panzer 49th · 10-05-07, 09:32 AM

Yu call those feeble stats!!!!!

I can hardly survive 3 patrols (probably because of my attack method)

The only succesful career i have is this one

Thanks for the info Venator

btw. panzer, take heart from this

Started new career.
Wilhemsaven
1st Patrol AM32

Decided to knock a day off reaching area by going through Dover Straits

Passing my favorite hunting ground just off South Ireland
2 Torpedo boats severely damaged my hull
I submerged to carry out repairs and 2 destroyers promptly blew me to bits in my 20m depth lol

So much for reputation

maddysad

panzer 49th · 10-05-07, 10:11 AM

Yeah my first patrol lasted 9 days because they sent me half way around the world for some reson and I never got damaged

Nice career there believe it or not that is actually better than most of mine

NealT · 10-05-07, 04:27 PM

Well, you not only got a LOT of tonnage...you were reassigned before the 'dark days' and had a chance to survive...

Well Done!
