Default What to do, what to do?!

Hey all,

It's June 1944 and I've just returned to L'orient where I've spent most of the war. Transferred a few times, but always returned. I've 49k+ reknown and skippering an IXD2. Aware that the end is nigh, but would love to step up to the next gen of sub hardware.

..so what to do? Transfer (and to where), or ride it out and stay where I am?

cheers
Paul

You better get out of Lorient before the Allies grab your whatnots!

Well, here I am... heading out of Bergen as part of 11th Flotilla (at a seemingly racey pace of 16kts) in my very first career XXI. Shame there's only a few more patrols before the end of the war.

Thanks for all the replies. I have my wish


EDIT... but on the flipside, there's only a few patrols left before I dip a toe in GWX!

cheers
Paul

Cheers - I've plotted a course around the Shetlands so as to at least carry out my orders and patrol the sector. Unforunately a well before that, a warship has caught my attention... lovely Attack is the best form of defence.

..and attack I did. If anyone cares to look, said warship is on the seabed NNE of Shetland Isle.

cheers
Paul
