So there.:p

Thanks for the info Steve...I honestly never realised...hmm, must have a look at mr Bagnasco's book

When available make sure you get decoys. They'll save your bacon..... sub I mean.

Not using GW but everytime I've upgraded my sub the upgrades have transfered to the new boat. I didn't think they transfered either untill I tried to get them for the new boat, but was promptly told "You already have them".

My Hunger for harbor Raiding uaually gets me killed by a DD in shallow waters. I have yet to see 41, So the only Upgrades I usually get is upgrading from The IIA to the VII, Hydrophones, Batteries, And Engine upgrades

every upgrade is a good upgrade..someone can say renown is not enough to catch the XXI later, but hey guys, with my last 2 weeks patrol, with my type IIA realism at 57%, GW installed, i sunk 2 Merchants a Pass Liner and TT....i evaded 6 DD seeking me, and managed to go back home with 99% hull intact (i touched the ground when i was in the enemy harbour at 0knts)..and i got 20000 renown! U-A-O!...probably a game error, but...who wouldn't accept it?
