The Military Channel Shows U boats

Recently in the last few days . I watched the military channels Battle Front . This is a epilouge series of battles that were fought WW2 . The last feature had a real U-boat captain narrating about U- boat activites in the atlantic . One thing that was said that I find interesting , Because of the concentration of allied ASW ops . the first u-boat that made contact with a convoy was not allowed too attack . A message was sent and that u-boat tracked the convoy until - a group of uboats were able too attack the convoy . they than attacked as a wolfpack . Iam now using the NGYM mod and . I have sent reports via radio to the BDU , and Iam not sure in a non multiplayer campaign if there the AI is producing othe U-boats to help intercept the convoy . I find myself alone and have lost 2 sh3 comanders on thier first cruises . I have had Sh3 for at least a year and still Iam A newbie . Ima still learning how too target manully and also tracking a convoy when the BDI sends A report . Its seems that NGYM mode makes it alot better evern if your are not plotting the chart to intecept the convoy fpr some reason after failing to intercept a convoy without plotting a course to intercept iam comming closer with using logical guessing as to were the convoy will be . now this has been a result of failures in the past amd not using the NGYM mod . Radar that is featured in the mod even though earlier is causing waves to help me intercept . I wish that there was a Enginge within this Mod that would call -up other boats that are AI and work as a wolfpack . so that Iam not the sole target of DD and Corvettes . I have to keep reading and learning more . there is really more to this sim then meets the eye - Its has been a awesome expereance so far . Now it is time to define and strengthen my knowledege as a U_baot captain . iam asking My fellow sim captains is there any other information that a green u-boat caption can absorb . maybe a an academy of sorts on the basics of what is really needed to be at a 100 % ? Not using auto targeting etsc and tracking convoys . I have read the newbies start page etc . ima looking for an academy of sorts . so Far on my 3 rd patrol in NGYM , I have sunk 8603 tons , and Iam now tracking a convoy . I have been attacked alot from the 2 destroyers and the corvette . keeping pace with the convoy that appears to be moving towards england . Thanks your comments are appreciated
