R.I.P. the crew of U-19

09-29-10, 09:21 AM

So on my 7 patrol in 1940. I head to Am 23, on my way out of Wilhelmshaven (Im up by Norway at this point, because I was going to go up and around England) I get a merchant spotted. For some reason, a Brit merchant was that far into our waters, alone. So I take her out with two torps. Then I set back on my course and put up TC to 128 and head out of the room for a bit, only to come back to the death screen(Boo-Shady). I was having a good career too.

6 patrols (Again I dont count one because it was just a trip back from a resupply ship with nothing sunk) with a total of 103,842 GRT.

I'd recieved my first ever Iron Cross 2nd class and had a quite promising looking career ahread of my Kaleun. Too bad. Time to start a new one, I may start in a much later date just to try the war at a much harder stage

Sorry for your loss.It's a good lesson, you will never make such a mistake again.If you must leave the game,go to 1TC and submerge.

If leave the game, I pause it, I have also lost a boat whilst away, never again. Even 1TC isn't worth the risk for me. Leave for 5 minutes at 1TC, what are really saving, 2.5 seconds of real time at 128TC when you get back.

RIP Herr Kaleun.

I will leave it at 128 TC if I'm doing something else in the same room only a few feet away where I can keep an eye on things... and then only if I'm cruising out of range of air cover and well away from any place that's likely to be mined.

If I have to leave the room for a short time but will still be where I can hear any alerts, and not so involved with something else that I might miss one if it happens, I'll drop back to 1 TC.

Any other diversions that are likely to take longer or be too distracting... I just pause the game. Better safe than sorry IMO.
