Damn Schnorkel!

Constantly harassed by the airplanes, I decided to continue my voyage submerged, Low on air and battery power, I raised my newly installed Schnorkel.
About 15 minutes later - kaboom! Both periscopes destroyed, radar and radio antennas destroyed, Schnorkel destroyed (it got what it deserved!)...

Now I'm considering my options - go back to base for repairs, or continue my patrol hunting lonely merchants and attacking only at night.

Go back to base, Most adviseable thing to do in my opinion.

Blind and Deaf ? Go back to Port.

meduza · 10-12-08, 01:59 PM

Well, I'm not quite deaf, my hydrophones are still in perfect condition.

Still, I'm going to return to base, maybe I got lucky on my way.

The thing is, I don't want to loose a month sitting in the port because I'd like to accumulate as much renown and get the command of XXI before the war is over.

What year is it.:hmm:

meduza · 10-12-08, 02:27 PM

March 1944.
The voyage home begun well: I'm attacking two unescorted small merchants as we speak

Hope you get the tonage.

meduza · 10-12-08, 02:50 PM

Thanx

I have 15k now, managed to sink a Victory cargo before my "accident".

The funny thing is, although my schnorkel is destroyed, it's still functional. i'm just not able to lower it. :rotfl:

You did put "Late war sensors" mod in your JSGME GWX install:hmm:thst should stop your shnorkel being a radar magnete

Isn't it available later in '44 or early '45?
