I'm dissapointed in the BDU!!!!

After starting another career, with U36, and having a superb patrol, sinking 5 cargo ships and a tanker, totalling to just over 40,000 tons in my first patrol.....i get back to port to recieve absolutley nothing!!!! except a crappy promotion!!! no medals!!!!

but yes, they'll give Iron Cross 2nd's out to my friggin crew won't they!! but not the man who commands the boat

Its a sad day when a captain has less medals, than the men he commands!!!!!

Also, i'm a bit pipped at the ineptitude of my crew to hold the boat at a steady depth in calm waters. I ordered them to go to 180 meters when we had a destroyer come a knocking.....and they can't hold it steady, the boat slowly begins to sink deeper and deeper, forcing me to take control of the dive....sorta. This a bug on the part of GWX??

other than that......great first patrol

i'll probably never have a first patrol as good as that one!!!

From your comment it looks like your playing GWX v1.02....your boat will sink a couple of metres deeper than your chosen depth whilst at a standstill....THIS IS NO BUG,

IT IS INTENDED U-BOAT BEHAVIOUR

Download v1.03 and you will find less likelihood of the aforementioned

There should be an official GWX optional mod already in the mods folder which you can enable with JSGME to change it.

I'm with Steed on this one.

Use Commander, I only use the in-game system for the most part when I need new recruits and want to promote a po to lt. If we could do that with commander - pffft.

same thing happened to me. sunk 55000 tons and rolled into port expecting a IC 1st class to go along with my 2nd class. Nope. Nothing. But one of my crew earned the IC 1st class.

Quit the bitchin' boys. This is war! BdU has more pressing things to do than worry about giving medals to men who will be dead in a week. You want medals join the Luftwaffe.

Exactly... it makes the Reich look bad when ever they lose someone who was a distinguished hero... best keep the men that are marked for an early grave far away from the publics eye
