I meant 800 meters not feet


Mods I have only installed TWOS and then enabled a couple of the optional ones.


It really didn't make any sense that I could lock (spacebar) them with the UZO but not with the periscope

Maybe because periscope is X6 and UZO bigger? Don’t remember the UZO magnifying though

A couple of weeks into my 3rd patrol, so far the only sightings have been a couple of neutrals, an armed merchant cruiser (my torpedo was a dud and just let it go) and 2 ship convoy, 1 torp per ship and both down for a whooping 4k tons. Pretty pathetic, I think BDu is gonna sack me


Where are the large convoys in the western approaches?! BDus contact reports from the captains log are useless (too far away), nothing from my radio man as far as contacts... Its middle of november 1939, cruising around AM51 like for a week and nothing... How frustrating it must have been for the real ones... Where are they?!

@Javigato

You need to know where the shipping lanes are,And you have to be patient.
There are enough huge convoys out there

Right, I thought AM51 should be a chocking point for 3 convoy routes, but so far it's empty. Doing the whole 1 or 2 hour runs in the surface and hydro checks manually. Nothing. Did a couple of the hydro scripts. Nothing. TC no more than 128... Perhaps I should move to a different grid?

Look at the shipping lanes chart from theberbster

When you are on a shipping lane, wait a bit using time compression
