Default Bdu hates me!

They want to send me back to GR grid from which I just came back. The patrol took 2.5 months game time. It's in southern africa near Capetown. I came back to Lorient with last drops of diesel today from GR51. And I can see my next patrol Grid is gonna be GR89 on SH3 Commander! That's even more further - about south arctic ocean already!

During last patrol I mannaged to sink only 1 ship that was a pasanger cargo in GR51. And they want me to go there for one more time ??? Did they gone crazy already up there?

Grid assignments are based on your boat type, home base and time frame. With those established there are only four choices it selects from. On the other hand, with Commander you can assign your own patrol grid.

Also if your using GWX you don't get extra renown for going to your assigned grid, so who cares?

Well yeah I know all about this, I just like to pretend I have no upperhand over BDU, so that means I would go, where they want me to go. I'm taking it as an order rather than a free drifting of my choice

The point is that I feel BDU is getting on me to see how will I act, sneaky bastards I just know how it's going to be after crossing to southern hemisphere there lies an almost deserted ocean with nothing much stuff left to do. So it's ok for vacation cruise, but PITA if it's a war patrol

These kind of shouts can be really a deadfull wish because most of the time I was having a bad weather while traveling to GR grid. During 2.5 month travel I was having like 5 to 7 days clear calm weather when I left Lorient at 1942 October 4. This is just insane... There wee small convoys that I couldn;t act against them accoprdingly due to storms which were almost continuesly.. And I'm abaout to repeat it. Wish me I wouldn't go nuts this time

unfortunately he will never be able to read that as he has been keelhauled IE permbanned.

anyways it can get boring getting the same grid twice but just grin and bare it and make a side mission fuel permitting.
