Cool...thanks guys for the ship journal and pics!


To the poster that is hesitant to do D.I.D it does help you play more realistic. You dont take as many stupid chances (unless your me but I suspect this is my last stupid chance). Especially as you get more patrols under your belt. Nothing like loosing a 20+ patrol captain in 1944 due to you deciding to hit a convoy in 25m of water

My last GWX 2.1 Career:



It ended less than half an hour after Captain Von Liebe took a look at this baby and decided she's worth the risk.



Both the hunter and the prey lies some where beneath the North Atlantic.

GWX2.1 100% Realism. Patrol 43. 1944.

Cause of death:

Water is deep, so I think I could have gotten away (Like I did so many times before). My usual method is to back slowly from my firing position 1000-1500 away, point my bow at the DDs, and go deep. This time, I am a bit too close. Worse yet, an outside escort coming back to aid the sinking CVE came from my 4 o'clock and find me. Soon all 5 DD's are on top of me. The hedgehogs are evil, they don't even give any warning. One moment I am at 240M, thinking I am about to clear, that next moment, that "you are dead" screen...

Note: As soon as I had more time, I will write up some highlights on this career.

What exactly is a D.I.D. o.0?

[Weiss Pinguin]

Dead is Dead. When you die, you die; no second chances.

Lost this career to the silent hedgehogs too, courtesy of one very persistent corvette. South of Cape town. I been planning to parade into New York on July 4th, 1945 with everyone in their dress uniform and a full rack of medals on every chess, Still haven't got my chance.



4 other boats were lost on Oct 4, 1943. Bad day for Bdu.

How does one sink 25 boats one 1 patrol?

Actually, my record is 31 ships/patrol in a VIIB (more deck gun ammo). Ever heard of piece of fine instrument called the deck gun, My friend? Also some of the ships sunk are small coastal crafts sunk with Flak.

Lucky you.. I seem to be a bad weather magnet when on patrol or in a target rich area. Couldn't make much use off the gun yet.

I have re-done the BDU Loss report to be more reflective
of real Death Cards. Take a look here and let me know
what you think.

The thread has had over 500 viewers but only your two
reported D.I.D.'s.
