This is simply sad
  I sneak into Truk.  I came in at night simply because I thought I could get some tonnage and get out thinking all high and mighty of myself. I came in from the north passage found the task force at anchor but there was so much fog I could not get a good solution unless I was so close that the fish were below minimum range. I had radar contacts but with out a course orientation I might be firing straight on and miss every time. I sat submerged for 24 hours.  The fog lifted and I had clear sights on the whole lot. The log entry shows the kills.  The sadness comes in after I get back to port thinking they are going to love me for this one.  I get one bronze star.  No new boat. I mean sure the medal is nice but come on mates?!?!?  All this fire power at the bottom of the lagoon for one bronze medal?? Just seems sad ...  |

Big fleet boats and the bigger German boats seem to be too big and bulky to harbor raid. I always liked Harbor raiding with the VIIC in Sh3 because the XXI and IX were too big to get around IMHO.
 You sir...deserve a better medal

And this is with the latest version of TMO and RSRD using a Tambor Class boat.
Addendum: The next Patrol they sent me straight to Truk ... I guess they liked my Truk Luck. LOL Last edited by merc4ulfate; 12-30-12 at 12:18 AM. |

Maybe our government had secret plans for those ships, and you ruined them.
