GWX3 8/39-5/45 100%, completed whole war!!!

[Wulfmann]

I did it, I finally did it.
Since GW first came out, the real SH3 as far as I am concerned, I have managed to complete 2 1943 begun careers one in GWX2 and one in GWX3gold. I had only once started a beginning of war career that got me into 1944 and being over confident I tore into a convoy in September 1944 and died on mission 34.
I did 1943 careers a lot because I could get there from the beginning but not much further so needed to learn the end better hence many 43 lives.

This time, I found the secret. be a girly man, a wuz a puz a well, actually the secret was not attacking convoys after may 1943.
I also switched from my usual TypeVIIC at the end of 1941 to a TypeIXC because I had done a major Pauchenschlag edit of the RND and SCR mis files and wanted to get the real feel for it having just read the book Operation Drumbeat.
My big edit made me feel like I was living that book and I decided when 1943 came along I would not switch back to the 7c but patrol the south Atlantic and even into the Indian Ocean but with the less maneuverable and more vulnerable to DC attack 9C I only attacked convoys with long range out side the screen attacks.

I fought it out on the surface against armed merchant ship against my better judgment and lost my prime watch officer and 3 other men.
My war total was less than my one million plus in the 9/39-9/44 career with this career at 686,116 tons including 119 merchant ships 7DD types and one battleship for 127 ships sunk.

As we near SH5 had I not completed a total war career (I have played 100% for 4 years now) I would have been disappointed had I not done so at least this once.

Still, almost like in real life, you survive but there is no fanfare, no victory slaute just it is over.

If I get this far again I will transfer to Bergen so I can finally get a XXI.
I was at Trondheim so it was not available there, darn
