U64 lost - dec 24 1940

[Gammel]

I´m not feeling good.
Just lost my boat. And it was my fault.
First i took her into shallow waters to chase a convoy ( )

After hiting 2 C3´s with all tubes fired (none sunk btw) i tried to sneak away without reloading (only ~70 meters of water under keel)
but they detected me. 4 escorts started to encircle the boat.

After 1/2 hour taking DC´s i did a tactical mistake and got a direct hit.

It was christmas day.

So my good trusted type IXB - U64 is no more. To make that for sure i wiped out immediately the /My Documents/SH3 folder.
Captain Karl Ranseier and his brave crew have gone on eternal patrol after 10 succesful missions.

i´ve played that career with caution and avoided every uneccesary risk until that last big mistake to go into the irish sea.
I was never in big trouble the whole career and saw 2 (!) lonely fighters in 10 patrols.

So the game felt sometimes too easy to me and i always wondered what would it like in the later years.
I´ve learned someting today, i just survived cause i played very casual and did no stupid things. A little mistake and you´ll be (perhaps) history. Even in early war.

I have to be more cautious in the next career.
This time it will be a type 7!
new boat, new crew, starting in jan 1940 and i´ll try out that new sh3 commander
feeling slighly better now...
