[1xTC] U-69's 2nd war patrol

Dowly · 03-14-10, 08:45 AM

Aaaand here we go again.

Few changes to the last thread.
- No enigma used this time. (easier for everyone to follow)
- No KTB pages posted until AFTER the patrol when I will make a single PDF available for whoever is interested on reading it. This so whoever is following the patrol will get around the same amount of info as BdU would get if this was a real patrol.

Fette Beute!

Good luck

Expect to get intercepted due to the lack of encryption though, because the Brits don't conduct war like gentlemen anymore!

This is great. Funny story. One of my friends did this with SHIV. Took him a week to get to his patrol grid. He set up a VPN to his home PC from work, and would VNC in to check the status when he wasn't home. He told me that he did this for about 2 weeks. He said he would turn the volume up so when he was asleep, the crew would wake him if they saw anything.

He said this worked pretty well and he was able to sink a few ships and shoot down a plane ...till one particular evening.

He told me that one night, while patrolling around some islands, he was suddenly awakened to the crew screaming and a horrendous screeching and crashing. He vaulted out of bed, stumbled and fell flat on his face. He said by the time he got to his computer he noticed men down on deck, and all he could see was the sky.

Seems he hit one of those little invisible sand bars that don't show up on the map. He was able to reverse and get off the sand bar, but his sub was seriously borked, and when he backed off the sand to deep water, it sank with all hands.

That was the end of his "Real Time Sub Captain Career", because he never did it again after that, and any time it was brought up his face would cloud over and he'd glare at you.

So of course this spawned a whole series of jokes about "Captain Sand Bar", much to his frustration.
