Final career: before i take a little break.

[Ducimus]

You know im looking at my current career, and i think this really demonstrates how stupid the AI is.

12 Dec 1943
0915 EF 41 Ship sunk! Buckley Destroyer Escort, 1400 tons
0930 EF 41 Ship sunk! Evarts Destroyer Escort, 1192 tons
1101 EF 41 Ship sunk! Casablanca Escort Carrier, 10400 tons

I'll give you three guess what those 3 ships were supposed to be, and the first two don't count. I didnt get a single depth charge for my audacity. On a funny note, I was watchiing "run silent, run deep" on VHS before i fired up SH3 and did this on patrol in a career game. :roftl: Bungo pete sunk again!


But im looking at my tonnage in this career.

687 days at sea, and i have a combined total of 441,474 tons. Or
412812 of merchant shipping and 28,662 tons of warships.

Thing is, i averaged abut 40K a patrol. I wasn't really trying Hard,i was being lazy. Alot of times Id just park my boat in "tanker alley", max out TC, and sit there and wait for a contact. Most of the time i cut my patrol short because i was low on fuel, or simply got bored. In all cases i returned with torpedo's save one patrol i remember when i shot every fish i had. I wasnt really trying, i was sort of just tyring to get through the war. Now its like febuary of 45 and i think im about ready to retire this current carreer. I dont see much point in sticking it out ot may just to recieve a radio message who's contents i already know.

So im willing to say this particular career survived the war (which is a first for me), and the odd thing was i was trying my best to get destroyers to pummel the crap out of me. I was more or less along the thoughts of, "Please end my misery!" because the allied air umbrella late war is maddening. I was looking for an excuse to quit. Seriously, once your forced to snorkel most of the time, your essentually done without your ablity to move on the surface to gain a firing position.
