The walter turbine is saving my life!!!!

That turbine (turbo booster) keep all DDs crazy behind my XUboat while spiting torps at 25kn at vshort range (<1000m sometimes <500m). Once DD under 200m "crash dive" and turn to one side... the uboat goes deep really quick... and even deeper because its speed.

be careful with that "turbo" switched on, on the way up at max speed (25)... otherwise uboat doesn't stop at periscope depth but flies out of the water (surfaces) :P ... which happened to me a couple times... and was fun to see the results

... try that when closer to BBs and with a fleet of DDs behind to see

Anyway its pure fun doing torpedo runs at 25... silient running is thing of the past

or only valid once the main targets have sunk and DDS fly like crazy dropping DCharges anywhere, everywhere anydepth without luck.

Try an emergency surface at full speed with walther engaged, and in external view.

I did it all the way back

Unfortunately I have a save from halfway the trip.
First of all the damage screen...I had a crew with a special "repair" ability, so everything was repaired, but, as you can see, lost all my fuel

Screenshot from halfway home

One more

From Ceylon to the u-boat position shown on the screenshot I was travelling at 2 knots.
From there to Penang I increased the speed to 5 knots.
So considering an average speed of 4 knots, I was able to travel approximately 2.600 km

I got my first try at this boat last night and IT RULES!!! My first mission with it was to stop a British Task Force from getting to Cape Town. So I found the group consisting of about I'd say 10 DDs, 2 BBs, and 1 light cruiser. The DDs took off after me with all haste,but because I was sending out a large amount of decoys they went after those instead and wound up culstered together !!:rotfl: But I got both BBs and the LC. For my actions I got a medal for it. I still wish I had shot a slavo into those DDs.

Still I wish the presence of this Uboat type here was based on facts....it feels awkward, sailing this one.

I had less problems using the XXI, in SH3.
