On the complete other end of the spectrum, I was based at Wilhelmshaven with my IXB and got orders to patrol AN55

![]() [edit] crap, you mentioned Type VII That said, it WAS preferable. Topp and other VII captains were known to overload their boats with supplies just to get to the American coast and others. Trust me, a real U-boat captain would always prefer a patrol in the middle of nowhere which he has a fair chance of surviving, than one in an area full of merchant ships where he'll die :P

I am not worry about to reach the DH77, but it was to early(what i think) to goto portugal and find a milkcow or a german merchant to refuel or load new torps for me...
it's just surprice that a mission came with DH77... I thought " UUUHMMM WTF"??? look on the map, and said "damn thats a loooonnggg ride from Wilhelmshaven, but i can try"... And i red in other forums that the brittish channel is a death-trap, so i avoid that, so i have to take a tourism route like AN14 and all around Ireland heading to the grid DH77 But even i should ignore the baby-ships(sanked twice) in mission 5, the torps slinks fast... And i thought, Dont worry about, you have torps left. but when i saw 3 fat-ships like 7600, i wouldn't ignore those ships, i go after them... and sunk a pain in the ass escort that heading toward me, and have no choice to torp him, or he start dropping depth-charges on me... As i said in previous message, i hit the escort in the ass(so he lost a propeller) and i have 1 torp left to "FINISH HIM", man that boat was wasted.... hopefully the next mission(6) i can call a milkcow, i still not figure it out under (F1).. and hopefully i can goto Brest to end the mission.... Time will tell |
