I can't see anything, the rain is lashing those in the conning tower ferociously. "Ship spotted, short range!" I thought, "at last, a merchant". Was ist das? Mein got! ALLLLLLLAAAARRRMMMMM! Teife!" The spotlight illuminates the boat and shells start falling around us, I've driven right into the middle of the convoy! Spent 1 hour 30 minutes evading the escorts who gave me a few close calls. Not having the external camera really makes the boat feel claustrophobic! I have yet to sink a single ship, bloody weather!

Can't imagine how much work the OLC GUI must have taken, all I can say is bloody good job, have a beer on me when we get back to Brest!

Let me correct this for you (I am German

) :

- Was ist das? Mein Gott! Allarm! Tiefe!

Well I guess I can share that experience

but when I happend to face the situation you describe I was not using OLC GUI ... but my mighty Weapons Officer gave me the perfect solution...

Lol, yeah well its been a few years since I did German GCSE... unfortunately I've forgotten most of it! Would like to take on a language sometime though, I visit Germany every year or two and its really nice to be able to speak the local lingo. Give me some credit though, was only two letters off!
