Show Us Your D.I.D.'s

Laufen zum Ziel · 01-18-09, 12:32 PM

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERSTED IN PARTICIPATING

How many of us are honest to the game and use D.I.D.?

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread where we can
Post our mishaps. As we all know the U-Boats of WWII suffered
Over 30,000 in lost souls who never returned home. How does this
Compare to the losses in our SHIII simulation?

How to post your D.I.D. to this thread.

Bookmark this thread to your Browser to find it when you D.I.D.
After a D.I.D. Use SHIII Commander to print your personnel file.
Copy and paste your personnel file to this thread.
At the bottom of your paste type in a brief description of what caused Your D.I.D and what Grid you were in.
Delete the image file line

If there is enough interest in this thread I will monitor the thread and post
all D.I.D.s to a BDU Lost Boat web page here.

Im on my 24 patrol with U 45. Errrr...... used my name by accident.

I play D.I.D. (and ive came vary close to being killed during some attacks.)

Weiss Pinguin · 01-18-09, 09:40 PM

I'm up for a D.I.D. log thread. (Rhyme lol)

Currently the only losses I've had are from computer problems. Hopefully that's all sorted out though...

Anyway not a D.I.D..... but wanted to bump your idea, and ask you a question. What does this mean "Delete the image file line" in your thread?

When you copy your file from SHII to the thread it will place a
marker for your Commanders image but not the image. Delete this.

BTW - Thanks for the bump I almost killed the project for lack of interest
tn the thread.

Faamecanic · 01-19-09, 01:35 PM

Gotcha ...will do.

Here is another suggestion. Maybe we should Edit our 1st post and post each patrol results (so each captain has only ONE post in the thread per living career)? Then when we die mark D.I.D at the top in BOLD and 6 font like this D.I.D

That way we can track eachothers career progress...and know when the D.I.D does happen. Then if you want to start a second captain, start a NEW post with the new career.

What do you think?

Good idea let's do.

Out of 229 views we only have 9 replies. I think this could
be fun & hope for more response.

Don't forget to bookmark the thread in case it gets lost
due to lack of postings.

Faamecanic · 01-20-09, 09:01 PM

Edited my first post and now have my Personnel file on. ENJOY.... I know I will as Im in position for the invasion of Norway with a full load of torpedos

Sped to the area as soon as I got the radio message about the operation beginning. Its now 7 Apr...and I lie in wait in the Vaag fjord just off Narvik

I expect to bag a battleship and aircraft carrier at least

That is I HOPE this doesnt become my first D.I.D patrol entry as task forces can be a pain to out manuver!

Laufen zum Ziel · 01-20-09, 10:25 PM

Faamecanic,

Use stealth & caution and sink as many as you can.

We would hate to send a DID lost boat report to BDU...

MauserKar98k · 01-20-09, 11:16 PM

I keep wanting to do a DID campaign, but I am usually way too temped to reload my last save and correct the stupid mistake that lead to my demise.

Obviously, real U-boat crews didn't have that luxury.

Come on playing D.I.D. will make you better because it will
be like real life with no 2nd chance. Have some fun and if you get
DID you get your commanders file on a web page here.
