My longest career was about 6ft 10 inches.

Working on my 18th or 19th patrol in late 1941 (October I believe) In U-96. Yes I know I don't stay out that long...*shrugs* it's getting dangerous out there...and I've got about...300,000+ tonnes on that one and got all the medals before april of 41.

All merchs and small warships. Haven't sunk any of the big ones yet.

Only five long patrols thus far. Yeah, I know that's not too great but remember. You probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do starting a career in '39 and making it to 45. Can it be done? I have not heard or read about one Kaleun being so lucky.

This game is very similar to a poker tournament. You need Lot's O'Luck getting to the final table and making it all the way through 45.

Good luck!!!

Cheers

i`ve read about a kaleun on the type 2`s making it to 45 safe and sound 3 times in a row.
it has to do with the fact that it is a coastal sub i guess.

sep '39 to april '42

Yeah, I just read in the Type II thread that someone made it to 45 in GWX two times. First time I read someone making it all the way. Hmmm..I may have to divorce my IX soon and give that one a drive. :0

GWX Mod:
1939-1945 (made it to the end of the war); full realism; Kapitan zur see Heinrich Koch

Regular SH3:
1939-1943
Engaged American and British battleships after realising the hopelessness of my situation (severe flooding and damage after taking hits from a depth charge attack). I surfaced and shot my remaining torpedoes off. All hit a target. Engaged with a deck gun and AA gun. Decimated by King George's big guns and Iowa's big guns. Sank quickly, died in my beloved U-Boat. Kapitain zur see Manfred Haderlitz.
