Yep, out of about 30 careers, I had one that made it until the end of the war. Probably around 32 patrols, but I forget now. Congrats on your survival, good luck making to the end. The fun is just getting started

I'll never get that far. For me 100% realism includes SH3 Commanders retirement option. No real kaleun served at sea for the entire war.

I tried 100% realism and lasted 11 patrols VIIC got sunk on the surface by what i think was a wellington bomber direct hit on the conning tower took out all my deck crew all departments showed yellow flooding & 2 were a serious red. Then within moments i got welcomed by that dead screen!

Wish they had an end movie when you died like you boat going down into the abyss.

I tried 100% realism and I lasted until I saw my first enemy ship. I had no idea of the range, speed or AOB. I just sat there thinking "Hmmm" then quit my game. What I am going to do in my next career is keep weapon officer assistance. That way I can get a range from him and plot the ship on the map, then use the 3 minute rule to get the speed. I'm looking forward to it.

I loved leaving Lorient using the Harbour Traffic mod and not seeing any ships on my map, it meant I had to stay on the bridge and keep my eye out for any collisions. Mind you it doesn't help that the watch crew get in the way, I suppose I'll have to send most of them below decks until we clear the traffic. Is there a "transparent" watch crew mod?
