Beat that.

Agreed, the Type II (D) is where its at. None of this "sure I'll sink the small merchant ship because I have 15 more eels to spare" crap.

The type II is nice, but you sure as hell can`t go to America in her unless a type IX takes you along as a "Dingy." I`m cruising the waters off the North American East coast in mid 1942, I have had a lot of good encounters with both merchants, and warships. I`m in U-109 a type IXB boat out of Lorient, 2nd Flotilla. Over the long haul, finding a milch cow, and resupplying is great, I`ve seen my share of action in her.

We are on our way home at the present time, having sunk two vessels before leaving, and being caught on the surface by a destroyer, that put two rounds in us before we could crash dive. Repaired the damage, and was able to go deep, and evade her, running silent, and creeping along at 2kts. Love it. Puts

What's America got that the Coast of Ireland doesn't?

Well that's a wrap as I now removed SH3 GWX 1.3 no more for me. Until GWX 2.0 that is.

[Deep-Six]

Ok, I have not play SHIII in awhile, (been playing CoD2 and 4). I will try to get back to going to New York. If the planes dont kill me first.

hmm, good point. Now that I think about it, I can only use my deck about 15% of the time around Ireland due to terrible weather...

Last patrol report:

72k tons sunk. The best so far.

Too bad i done the mistake i am doing too often, using 4,yes 4 torpedoes on a two tankers that are already shelled by my with many shells to spare ...

Just back from a long stint in the pacific with the U.S navy and on my 3rd patrol in U-49 , a type VIIB - once I return to port I will be transfering to 2nd flottila and back into my beloved "Sea Cow" .Atleast I'll be back in a more manouverable and deeper diving boat than a fleet boat

Where are you hitting the tankers? It shouldn't take that much... Unless you're using stock of course.
